The Sensor Decade is a long-term initiative, starting as a national meeting and growing into an international arena for sensor research. Discussing trends and visions, it accelerates ideas, supports SME technology providers, fosters start-ups, and enables long-term strategic alignments.
Sensors are at the core of Norway’s and Europe’s transformation agendas. From the European Chips Act, the Green Deal, and new AI and data regulations, to Norway’s ambitions for ocean sustainability, health innovation, the green industrial transition, and Arctic monitoring – sensors provide the trusted data that makes policy goals achievable. They measure the invisible, enable autonomy, and create the link between the physical and digital worlds.
The Sensor Decade 2026 will focus on the grand challenges shaping society:
Sensing the Planet to safeguard climate, oceans and food systems.
Sensing the Body for health, medtech and microsurgery.
Sensing the Engineered World for autonomy, robotics and industry.
Sensing the Invisible to unlock quantum, photonics and nanotechnology.
Within these missions, the programme explores the full range of enabling technologies: sensor materials, sensor integration, design & microfabrication of chips, multimodal and AI-enhanced sensing, breakthroughs in physics, and solutions for sustainability and circularity.
