Are you interested in how researchers and students at the University of Oslo are working with climate, energy and environment transition?
Join us at this conference to explore a wide range of cutting-edge topics in sustainable energy - including community perspectives of wind energy, large-scale CO2 storage, green methanol, circular economy and more.
The event is free and open for all but registration is required.
