The Alf Bjørseth Inspiration Award

Link to the Norwegian information about the award and award winner.

The eight nominees were all qualified candidates for the award. They have all made valuable contributions to developing the platform of knowledge within their area of expertise related to renewable energy and/or biosciences.

The task of choosing one winner was therefore not easy.

Congratulations to Kjell Rune Jonassen on the Alf Bjørseth Inspiration Award 2022!
