The bioCEED Survey 2015 was conducted as a baseline study of major tertiary-level biology education in Norway. The survey addresses themes such as learning in practice, transferable skills, motivation, laboratory and field learning, didactical approaches specifically relevant to biology education, knowledge needs and experiences of biologists in the workforce, etc

This autumn will see the completion of a pilot plant for processing CO2 into fishfeed.
Thus, the first tangible result of a work that has been going on for many years to see how one can exploit CO2 emissions and discharges into something useful. The raw material, the new test facility from Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM *), which operates testing of various technologies for separating CO2 from gas emissions from the refinery and it gas reel-type heat and power plant.
In the test plant, using proven methods of cultivation of Microalgae, one aims to test whether it is possible to produce a quantities of biomass with Omega 3 fatty acids which can be used to fish feed in the aquaculture industry.

The municipality wants to build a new freight terminal at Haukaas, but this is also where river mussels that the government already spends millions of krone to save.
-When Julius Caesar’s army invaded England in order to get their hands on this mussel already 55 years BC, perhaps Bergen Municipality also should consider it valuable says Per Johan Jakobsen. He’s a professor at the University of Bergen and works with “aquaculture” of river mussels at a designated facility at Austevoll.
Concentrated bunch at this week’s strategy seminar!
