About

EOV will facilitate and increase synergies between competence areas, research and innovation in the field of engineering, technology, economics, natural- and social sciences, towards the applied value for the industry and public stakeholders in areas important for sustainable energy transition.
‍
EOV is a joint academic effort contributing with research and education to knowledge- and business development in the region. The knowledge cluster was established November 2019, by University of Bergen (UiB), NORCE -Norwegian Research Centre, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) and Norwegian School of Economics (NHH).

From August 2022 the EOV research alliance welcomed University of Stavanger (UiS) to the collaboration, which further strengthens the partners in both competence and geography.
