A unique course on SDG14 brings together student active learning and an interdisciplinary approach on how to engage with sustainability issues and how science can provide knowledge for a sustainable Ocean. We have produced three videos showing what makes the course special.

A seminar in Bergen explores how the Ocean can be better regulated to ensure the balance between the harvesting of natural resources and the need for conservation.

Professor Lise ØvreÃ¥s takes over from Peter M. Haugan as Academic Director of Ocean Sustainability Bergen, ÐÒÔË·Éͧ¼Æ»®'s centre for sustainable ocean research, with scientific advice being one of the main tasks in her portfolio.

The University of Bergen has been announced as part of the International Association of Universities SDG Cluster, with special responsibility and leadership for SDG14, Life Below Water.

Norway's national Long-term plan for research and higher education has been revised to create a stronger connection between knowledge for sustainable development and scientific advice. SDG Bergen and ÐÒÔË·Éͧ¼Æ»®'s leading role is highlighted in the plan.

Using cutting edge technology and techniques, an international team sheds new light on the evolution of some of the very first animals. The results are published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.

In 2021, Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl plans to perform its first ever circumnavigation of the world. ÐÒÔË·Éͧ¼Æ»® became the first partner to sign a statement of intent to participate in the circumnavigation and to provide the scientific content.

In their very first meeting, the board of The Norwegian Marine University Consortium (NMUC) had talks with the executives from the European Marine Board.  The next step is to shape the consortium into a vital bridgehead for cooperation with the EU.
