Discussions focused on current policies regarding international cooperation in Higher Education in both countries and also touched upon the status of ongoing programs such as UTFORSK, INTPART, and INCP2.
IMU & USN have secured 🇳🇴 SEA-AI project funding of ~₹4.5 Cr under the INTPART Programme, Norway. The 4-year project (2026–2029) will boost global research links through faculty exchange & joint workshops with UiT, USN, TAMU & UTokyo. 📷

🔥 Day 19 of DSA with @lovebabbar3
Today, I tackled two LeetCode problems using Binary Search—one easy and one medium. 🚀
📌 Problem 1: Sqrt(x) [LeetCode 69]
🔹 Description: Given a non-negative integer x, return its square root rounded down to the nearest integer. ⛔ No built-in exponent function/operator allowed!
🔍 Approach: ✅ Binary Search:
Set search range [0, x], compute mid = s (e - s) / 2.
Compare mid * mid with x:
If equal ➝ Return mid 🎯
If smaller ➝ Store mid, move right (s = mid 1).
If larger ➝ Move left (e = mid - 1).
✅ Precision Handling:
Start from intPart (integer square root).
Increment step-by-step (0.1, 0.01, ...) until ans * ans > x.
Adjust overshoot & refine precision iteratively.
🔹 Time Complexity: O(log x)
📌 Problem 2: Search a 2D Matrix [LeetCode 74]
🔹 Description: Given an m × n sorted matrix, check if target exists. ⚡ Must run in O(log(m * n)) time complexity!
🔍 Approach: ✅ Flatten Matrix Virtually:
Treat it as a sorted 1D array (0 to rows × columns - 1).
Compute long long int mid = s (e - s) / 2 (long long to avoid overflow).
✅ Access Matrix Efficiently:
Row index: mid / columns
Column index: mid % columns
Compare matrix[rowIndex][colIndex] with target:
If equal ➝ Return true ✅
If smaller ➝ Move right (s = mid 1) ▶
If larger ➝ Move left (e = mid - 1) ◀
🔹 Time Complexity: O(log(m * n)) 🚀

SCANCOR Norway's PhD course is this year hosted by @UiTromsoHSL and Kjell Arne Røvik is introducing his most recent book on the Translation Theory of Knowledge Transfer. Great to see so many PhDs in the room. All of this is possible thanks to our INTPART project @forskningsradet
Two days of knowledge sharing and scientific discussion in Cape Town in the @forskningsradet Intpart project. We are looking for new possibilities to continue our collaborative work.
#SoMaT Project is looking forward to the upcoming 5 years of collaborations with a focus on #sustainability, #digitalization and #diversity, led by Associate Professors Dr. @RogerSoraa (PI) and Dr. @MariusKorsnes (PI). This is KULT’s second #INTPART project after our NJ_BREGED!👍🏼
Everyhting is ready for the 19th SCANCOR PhD Workshop on Institutional Analysis. We will have great lectures by Woody Powell, Bruce Carruthers, Sarah Soule, Renate Meyer and Gili Drori in the coming 5 days.
This is possible thanks to funding from @forskningsradet through INTPART

On 11 May, #INTPART DTRF project meeting took place in Sogndal, Norway. Hosted by @vestforsk
The project aims to strengthen research partnership within disruptive technologies like #BigData#AI#edgecomputing for critical infrastructure resilience (Photo credit: @MalinWaage)
Today & tomorrow @UniOslo_SVfak is hosting the Board of SCANCOR for its bi-annual meeting to discuss how we can further improve the collaboration between universities in the Nordic countries, @StanfordEd and @HarvardWCFIA.
This is funded by @forskningsradet through INTPART
