BRU21 & SUBPRO-Zero Conference

In May, we hosted the first-ever Joint BRU21–SUBPRO Zero Conference, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to discuss the future of Norway's energy sector.

For the first time, the two largest oil and gas research initiatives at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) joined forces with industry partners to share the latest research results, discuss emerging challenges, and explore how research can create value for society and industry.

The video below features perspectives from academia, industry, and government, with contributions from Lars Erik Aamot (Norwegian Ministry of Energy), Yngve Johansen (Aker BP), Alexey Pavlov (BRU21), and myself (SUBPRO Zero).
