The Offshore Wind Conference Science Meets Industry

We are very much looking forward to presenting you with this year's exciting programme.

The purpose of the Science Meets Industry Bergen is knowledge exchange between academia, industry and public sector on offshore wind.

The conference is organised by Bergen Offshore Wind Centre (BOW), NORCOWE and GCE Ocean Technology.
