Geophysical Institute 100 Years - University of Bergen in Climate and Energy Transformation: Atmosphere, Ocean, and Society in Motion
A scientific symposium on the 2nd and 3rd of October about climate, energy and earth system science. Open to researchers, stakeholders and interested parties from education and related realms.
Hovedinnhold
The Geophysical Institute celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017, and organizes a symposium focusing on climate, energy and earth system science. This also marks the start of a new strategic research area for UiB; climate and energy transition.
The symposium will be held on the 2nd and 3rd of October in the University Aula at the University of Bergen. You can sign up for the event by filling out the form accessible by clicking the registration link on the right hand side.
