About the conference
Ocean Outlook is a collaboration between the marine research community in Bergen including , the (NERSC), (滨惭搁),听 (BCCR) and University of Bergen (UiB) and the (WHOI) in the USA. Over many years these communities have met to discuss the state of the North Atlantic ocean and share their research.听
This conference听is a scientific conference about climate, oceanography, and life across the Atlantic Ocean. Researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institutions, one of the largest marine research environments in the world, visit the marine research community in Bergen. Here you have the chance to experience top international scientists present their research.听
Doors are open to the public, so take the opportunity to hear what marine researchers are working on and discussing at the moment.
