Innovation Workshop – Ocean Technologies (Grimstad)

NORCE Norwegian Research Centre together with SFIs Offshore Mechatronics and Smart Ocean and GCEs NODE and Ocean Technology invite to innovation workshop for exploring emerging topics within ocean technologies that will form the basis for future needs within operation and maintenance in the offshore, marine and maritime sectors.

Whom is the workshop intended for?

The workshop is intended for everyone working in offshore, marine, and maritime sectors that produce, service, or operate equipment, machines, systems, or infrastructure related to operations, monitoring, performance tracking and decision support.

What is the goal of this workshop?

The goal is to create an arena where stakeholders from different regions and along the value chains within offshore, marine, and maritime industries meet to discuss common challenges and problems. Our belief is that by challenging others with your own ideas or problems, innovation processes will be initiated that are based on real needs. The program contains selected inspirational talks from academia and industry and a workshop element where the participants will suggest and develop their ideas in collaboration through a controlled process. The organizers are open for coordinating efforts stemming from the workshop to initiate cooperation for further developing selected prominent topics.
