For the second year, NGU invites the exploration industry to a workshop to streamline data accessibility, information quality, and collaboration. We aim to network and share experiences and ideas concerning exploration and data mining in Norway.

We wish to improve our own products and services, and make NGU’s databases the primary go-to place for easy access to explortion-relevant geological data. How can we succeed?

The two-day seminar starts at med lunch February 15, and ends with lunch February 16.
