What would you like to learn more about at Technology Day 2025?

12/20/2024 The Norwegian Offshore Directorate is hosting a Technology Day on 5 June 2025 in Stavanger – and now you can nominate suggested lectures for the event.

We would welcome suggested lectures that shine a spotlight on experiences related to the topics in our technology strategy.

Use the nomination form to submit suggestions; the deadline is 28 February. We will review all suggestions received when we put together the programme for Technology Day 2025.

You can find the programme and lectures from Technology Day 2024 (Norwegian only) for inspiration.

This is the fourth consecutive year we've hosted a Technology Day, an event primarily for employees of resource authorities and licensees on the NCS. The registration form and programme will be published on the Norwegian Offshore Directorate's website in spring 2025.

Please note that this event has been fully booked in recent years, so you should save the day now if you're interested – and waste no time to register once the time comes!

For more information and questions, please contact Technology coordinator Arvid Østhus at +47 47 841 580.
