On Monday evening we start with the annual meeting and popular science entertainment before dinner. On Tuesday and Wednesday we continue with the scientific programme. More detailed information about the programme will follow.
We plan to organize transport by bus from Ålesund to Runde on Monday and back on Wednesday, departing from Ålesund ca. 15:30 on Monday and back in Ålesund at 17:00 on Wednesday. If necessary we may also arrange transport from Ørsta-Volda airport, Hovden.
Theme: Use or protection – Land use at sea This year, the annual meeting in the Norwegian Association of Marine Scientists (NHF) will take place Monday 21 – Wednesday 23 November at Holmen Fjordhotell in Asker outside Oslo. The main theme is Use or protection – Land use at sea.
The registration deadline was Wednesday 19 October 2022. If you didn’t sign up in time but still want to participate, please contact us directly at havforsk@havforsk.no and we’ll see what we can do. Presentations or posters are welcome, these can be on the main theme or other topics within marine research. The deadline for submitting an abstract is 01.11.2022 (sent to havforsk@havforsk.no, mark the email with Abstract).
We start Monday evening with the annual meeting and a popular scientific lecture before dinner. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we continue with an exciting academic program with invited posts and discussion, presentations and posters. In addition, there will be a joint meals, breaks and social gatherings. The meeting ends on Wednesday 23 November at 15:30. The detailed program will be updated (available in Norwegian here).
