“This is the place where green talk becomes green reality,” said Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy Marianne Sivertsen Næss during the opening of the first two laboratories at the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre.

“Autonomous vessels will make shipping more efficient and greener, which is exactly what we need in today’s world,” says Daniel Qvale, project manager for the international student championship Njord – the Autonomous Ship Challenge, which was held last week.

“Women are still underrepresented both as researchers and PhD candidates in engineering fields and in the marine industries. Therefore, it’s a milestone to have a PhD defense where all roles are held by women,” says Erin Bachynski-Polić.

In the race towards zero-emission shipping, flexible battery packs for small and medium-sized ships must be developed.

In the first week of summer, a dynamic team of robots, researchers, students, and engineers in SFI Harvest and AUR-Lab embarked on a mission to sample zooplankton off the coast of Mausund, Norway.

51 partners have come together in the new research center that aims to accelerate a sustainable and circular battery value chain in Norway.

In my PhD I study the behavior of CO2 during pipeline transportation, which is a stage required in Carbon Capture and Storage.

My PhD consists of working with a membrane-based structure for floating solar panels in the ocean.
