About Bergen
As a UNESCO World Heritage City and a European City of聽Culture nestled between fjords and mountains, Bergen has聽the ideal combination of nature, culture and exciting urban聽life year-round. The city is an international centre for聽aquaculture, shipping, the offshore petroleum industry and聽subsea technology, and a vibrant hub for marine research.
Bergen is located in a typical West Norwegian聽landscape with high mountains, fjords, bays, and聽thousands of small and large islands and skerries.聽The rich diversity of聽animals encountered on the Bergen coast聽effectively complements the in-house aquaculture聽facilities, thus broadening the scope of research聽projects that can be implemented at the Centre.
