The Norwegian parliament (Stortinget) has opened for mineral activities on the Norwegian continental shelf. What knowledge do we lack and how do we acquire this?

A step-by-step process is planned, where the first phase will be environmental mapping and mineral exploration.

There is broad consensus that more knowledge is required about both with respect to the environment aspects and the geological resources potential before deep sea mining will be considered.

At this seminar we ask: what do we already know, what do we need to investigate further and how can we work together to acquire the knowledge we need?

The seminar is organized by the University of Bergen and GCE Ocean Technology.
