2022 has been a very interesting and engaging year for SFI Smart Ocean. After having started with a year and a half with covid-restrictions, the Centre activities, including physical meetings and field testing, have accelerated significantly.Two-day gatherings at Austevoll in May and at Nordnes in Bergen in October have strengthened the SFI Smart Ocean team and allowed for detailed discussions across partners and work packages, paving the way for even better cooperation in the continuation of the Centre period. Another highlight from the gathering in October was welcoming our 9th industry partner, W-Sense AS, into the consortium.
