NTRANS PhD Davood Qorbani and Raquel Alonso Pedrero, report directly from the summer school in Bergen:
"It has been very nice so far, we have really enjoyed it!
On the first day we all gave a short presentation of our PhD topics, and we got to know all the other students participating.
Learning about the industry's perspective
The day after we went to Stord, where we had the opportunity to meet people from the Norwegian Catapult, Kværner Stord and NCE Maritime Clean Tech. They explained the industry’s perspective towards the energy transition to us. These talks were very interesting.
In the evening we went to Midtfjellet vindpark, wich you can see in the background on the photo.
The two last days we are going to spend in Bergen working in groups with a presentation we are doing before the summer school ends on Friday," the PhDs report from Bergen.
