The purpose of the lectures was to show the students at the department what the professors are researching, and inspire and motivate them in their own studies and career choices.

Professor Bjørnar Pettersen talked about CFD simulations and experiments in marine technology

Professor Jørgen Amdahl gave a lecture on the department’s research into guarding Marine Structures against accidental actions

Director of AMOS, Professor Asgeir J. Sørensen, gave a lecture on Norway’s large ocean areas and the future possibilities that Norway’s maritime importance gives the students.

Lectures like this is meant to strengthen the connection between the students and the department’s research activities, and hopefully motivate comming scientists in their future careers. 

The lectures seems to have resonated with the students, and the Department is looking forward to organize more lectures like this in the future.
