The ZEN Research Centre is a centre for environmental-friendly energy research ('FME' in Norwegian stands for 'forskningssenter for miljøvennlig energi'). It was established in 2017 by the Research Council of Norway.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is the host and leads the Centre together with SINTEF Community and SINTEF Energy.

The ZEN Research Centre enables the transition to a low-carbon society by developing sustainable neighbourhoods with zero greenhouse gas emissions. They are convinced that our future cities and communities should ensure optimal energy use and be good places for people to live and work in.
