We are pleased to share that Professor Martin Fernø will join the UNESCO Chair in Green Transition for Carbon Neutrality and Climate Change.
Main content
This recognition is deeply rooted in the recent achievements of the Reservoir Physics research group and the broader scientific community working on geological carbon storage at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, especially within the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Earth Science.
Their joint efforts in developing novel concepts for carbon storage research, building international partnerships, and advancing outreach and education through the FluidFlower infrastructure have played a key role in earning this recognition.
“This invitation is a testament to the collaborative spirit and scientific excellence of our research environment. I look forward to contributing to the Chair’s mission of accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral future,” says Professor Fernø.
About the UNESCO Chair
Established in 2023, the UNESCO Chair in Green Transition for Carbon Neutrality and Climate Change is the first of its kind dedicated to carbon neutrality. It brings together a global network of leading institutions to promote open science, policy innovation, and educational outreach in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through this partnership, Professor Fernø and colleagues will engage in collaborative efforts that span education, research, governance, and international exchange—further strengthening initiatives such as the recently launched INTPART project, which aims to deepen global cooperation in sustainable energy and education.
Looking Ahead
This partnership opens new opportunities for the Reservoir Physics group and its collaborators to engage with a global community working toward sustainable climate solutions. It also reinforces the faculty’s commitment to interdisciplinary science and education as key drivers of progress in the green transition.
We congratulate Professor Fernø on this achievement and look forward to the contributions that will emerge from this exciting collaboration.
