Kjerulf lecture series

The “Kjerulf lecture series” was established in 2008 and is the internal NGU analogue to the Goldschmidt lecture series. Once per month, one of the scientists who work at the geological survey will present a scientific seminar.

The goal of the “Kjerulf lecture series” is to offer a moment of dialog and discussion to and with all NGUers, so as to inform others about the work which goes on and to possibly even lead to new collaborative projects.

Seminars will be held monthly, on Wednesdays, at 13.00 o’clock in the auditorium.
