We now welcome applications to host an event as part of Day Zero at the SDG Conference Bergen, 5 February 2025. This is the free, all-digital day of events on the day before the SDG Conference plenary programme starts.
The fifth event in the Ocean Futures 2030 series was co-organised by UiB and France’s embassy in Norway to discuss global ocean awareness across sectors. Watch the recording.
The Antarctic ice shelves – the floating glaciers surrounding most of the continent – are melting from below as oceanic currents bring warm water into the cavity. But how and how fast is the ice melting? In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn why Antarctic ice shelves matter, about what happens below them, and about what it’s like to do fieldwork ”down south”.
Yan Li receives prestigious research support for the quest to understand how extreme ocean surface waves affect us. Such waves pose a threat to ships and infrastructure, becoming increasingly frequent and extreme due to climate changes.
The SmallFish4Food project by University of Bergen researchers Jeppe Kolding and Ragnhild Overå is one of only 12 projects globally and five Norwegian projects to be awarded with funding through the SDG Pilots Call of the Global Research Council, with funding supplied via the Research Council of Norway.
Hanna Sannes, master’s student in biodiversity, ecology and evolution, recently triumphed with her team at NOR-FISHING Student Camp competition, pitching an idea for the digitalization of fish spawning data.
Light is probably the most varying environmental variable in pelagic ecosystems, and the most ignored in ecological studies. In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn how light structures the distribution of zooplankton and fish.
The Norway-Pacific Ocean-Climate (N-POC) Scholarship Programme is unique both in its content and scope. Both for its clear science-policy objectives and the way it’s been shaped as a truly joint doctoral programme.
The Norway-Pacific Ocean-Climate (N-POC) Scholarship Programme was an active ingredient at the 2024 Bergen Summer Research School, bridging ideas of scientific knowledge and traditional knowledge on the ocean-climate nexus during two hectic weeks in Bergen.
The rise in ocean temperature in the past year is one of the most urgent threats to global equity and thus to global stability in a new geopolitical landscape. How can science contribute to solutions to this challenge?
Welcome to our events page! Here, you'll find a comprehensive overview of upcoming and past events hosted at the University of Bergen on marine related topics. Stay updated on the latest happenings and catch up on what you might have missed. Join us for just one event or attend them all – you're always welcome!
On 9 April 2024 the University of Bergen organised an official satellite event on marine genetic resources, global benefit sharing and ocean science diplomacy at the Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona. Watch a recording of the satellite event.
Deep sea research is a gateway to unlocking mysteries both within our planet and beyond, offering insights that can have profound implications for science, industry, and our understanding of life in the universe.
On 21 February 2024 the University of Bergen and partners organized an event on ocean governance at Norway House in Brussels. The discussions at the event and an outcome discussion has now resulted in the first Ocean Futures 2030 Policy Brief.
We are warned about ultra-processed food. Cattle release gas. In the fjords, the fish farming take up a lot of space. Official diet advices creates much debate. Consumers think green, but act "sugary". In the myriad of diets and trends: What should you believe and who should you listen to? We take a deep dive into the research - with seafood and sustainable food production as key keywords. The... Read more
Pint of Science is teaming up with One Ocean Week for an evening of science dissemination open to all on the theme of the Arctic. By bringing together experts from diverse backgrounds, we aim to spark curiosity and meaningful conversations about the Arctic region and its significance to our global community. So grab a pint, and come discover with us the secrets of this fascinating ocean!
How do sandeel stocks respond to fisheries policy and increasing activity in the North Sea? And how did Brexit influence the mackerel fisheries intensity and harvesting strategy - what was the consequences for the mackerel stock and the carbon footprint of the fisheries?
