National Centre for Sustainable Subsurface Utilization of
the Norwegian Continental Shelf
How do we contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
Affordable and clean energy, climate action and education are important contributions from NCS2030.
NCS2030 contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) including SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) by building new competence and research solutions for the Sustainable Subsurface Value Chain, SDG 13 (climate action) by providing solutions for a NZE society by 2050; SDG 4 (education) by educating the new generation of professionals for the energy transition; and also SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth); SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure) by building competence for new business opportunities; SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) by providing solutions for low-emission and effective utilization of the subsurface; SDG 14 (Life below water) by safe subsurface storage of CO2/H2 and reduced water discharge to sea; and SDG 5 (gender equality) by setting the ambitious goal that at least 40% of center staff will be female.

Summer schools in Azerbaijan and the Barents Sea
Are you a doing a master's degree within an energy subject? Sign up for summer school!
Professor Adriano Mazzini from CEED at University of Oslo is organizing summer schools in the form of a cruise with University of Tromsø in the Barents Sea, and as an International summer school in Azerbaijan. To apply for these exciting opportunities, you need to send your CV and a motivation letter to adriano.mazzini@geo.uio.no. Topics of interest are seismic data or geochemistry of oil, water or gas. Priority will be given to students that are willing to continue working on the collected data (for example in a master thesis). Students can participate together with potential supervisors.
