It is Murmansk State Technical University that operates “Sedov” and since Tromsø is both Norway’s most important university- and research centre in the north and friendship town with Murmansk, the visit was a natural stopover after “Sedov” sailed from Reykjavik last week.
The visit of the “Sedov” in Tromsø is accompanied by a Russian-Norwegian conference on international cooperation in fisheries managment and aquaculture in the Arctic region, according to the web-portal of the University of Tromsø.
The conference is a joint project between Murmansk State Technical University (MSTU) and UiT’s Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics (BFE-FAK).
The conference marks the signing of a new cooperation agreement between MSTU and UiT. The agreement will upgrade and extend the already existing partnership between the two Universities.
Russian-Norwegian cooperation in fisheries management, aquaculture and technology
The conference will present and discuss cooperation between Russia and Norway in the fields of fisheries, fishery management, aquaculture, fisheries technology and biotechnology.
The Russian side is represented by a delegation of around 25 experts from Murmansk State Technical University (MSTU), Russian Federal Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceonography (VNIRO), Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceonography (PINRO) and other institutions.
