We continue to build knowledge in the field of Maritime Nuclear Propulsion. We invite you to a day where we bring together experts from the maritime nuclear value chain.
The seminar will showcase the latest developments in research and commercialization of nuclear propulsion for maritime applications, including progress from international projects and insights into regulatory landscapes and technical challenges.
The program is developed in collaboration with NTNU Ålesund which before Christmas, together with many partners, was awarded The Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI SAINT) that you will learn more about this day!
