Main content

At Science Meets Industry Bergen academics and professionals from the business community and the public sector get together to exchange new knowledge and ideas.

The conference takes place in the University Aula (Universitetsaulaen), at Nygårdshøyden, in central Bergen.

Topic of 2022: Speed and volume

The topic of this year’s conference is the speed and volume of the offshore wind energy development in Norwegian waters.

We will discuss the processing of license applications for offshore wind power; is it possible to speed it up while retaining good practice? Several companies will present their plans and concepts for offshore wind development in Norway and internationally.

Research and education are critical to achieve profitable offshore wind projects in Norwegian waters, and the University of Bergen will display its research on wind and wave conditions in the Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II.

Networking is an important part of the conference, and we encourage our participants to socialize during lunch and coffee breaks.

The conference is open to all and free of charge. Registration is mandatory.

Organisers

The conference is organised by Bergen Offshore Wind Centre (BOW), NORCE, and GCE Ocean Technology.

Bergen Offshore Wind Centre

BOW er et tverrfaglig forskningssenter for havvindenergi ved Universitet i Bergen
Et nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for bærekraftig, effektiv og forutsigbar utnyttelse av energi fra havvind
Koordinerer havvindforskning og -initiativer på universitetsnivå, og bidrar til utdanning på master- og ph.d.-nivå
Formidler de nyeste forskningsresultatene på havvindområdet
Peker på utfordringer og muligheter ved kommersiell utnyttelse av energi fra havvind
Deltar aktivt i nasjonale og internasjonale diskusjoner om utvikling av energi fra havvind

Raskere konsesjonsprosess for havvind

Tiden er knapp for utbygging av havvindparker hvis regjeringens ambisjoner skal nås. Er det mulig å slanke konsesjonsprosessen? Ja, det mener i hvert fall jusprofessor Sigrid Eskeland Schütz.

Grundige værdataanalyser bidrar til effektiv design og drift av havvindparker

Hvordan er vind- og bølgeforholdene i områdene regjeringen har åpnet for utbygging av vind? Etienne Cheynet har sammen med kollegaer analysert været for perioden 1992 til 2020 i Utsira Nord og Sørlige Nordsjø II.
