The Student Society of Trondhjem

In 2010, a variety of Trondheims knowledge institutions celebrate their round numbers. First, the celebration of Norway's oldest scientific institution, the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences founded in 1760. The company's descendants today falls into three main parts: DKNVS still is Norway's oldest, independent, scientific society, and the two institutions: The library (now a central part of the University Library in Trondheim) and the museum which now corresponds to the Science Museum. The latter two are now part of the NTNU.

The other key institution is the Norwegian Institute of Technology, NTH, which is 100 years old in 2010. The main building on Gløshaugen has in many ways characterized the city throughout the 1900s. NTH became in 1996 a part of the core of NTNU. NTH was the first academic educational institution for technologists in Norway.

In addition Sintef celebrates 60 years anniversary, closely linked in the NTNU and DKNVS.
