Defining Future Subsurface Education Needs in Collaboration with the Energy Industry

About the project

The SUBSET project's activities will target a better understanding of the knowledge gaps within subsurface competencies required for the energy transition, how to bridge these gaps, and how to increase the interaction between industry and academia. The goal is to provide a richer educational experience for the students and continued knowledge exchange between academia and industry. We foresee that the project will increase industry relevance of subsurface education and will create value for all project stakeholders.

The main components of the project include dialogue with all stakeholders, design of improved or new course content, and identification of methods that will maximise the learning experience. The work-plan includes running pilot courses to test the outcome and collect feedback for their evaluation. Dissemination to fellow researchers as well as to society at large will be pursued via workshops and publications.

The Department of Energy Resources at UiS initiated and will coordinate the project. The department for Continuing Education (EVU) and University Pedagogy Department (UNIPED) at UiS will contribute to the project deliverables.
