We’re thrilled to share that the CSSR recently hosted a groundbreaking hybrid Joint Industry Workshop in Bergen on the 16th of April 2024! The topic of the workshop was – Data-driven approaches to improving modelling, simulation, and optimization.

With robust research in machine learning and active partnerships with industry leaders and NORCE in general, CSSR was able to bring together nearly 40 participants, including researchers, operators, and service providers of CSSR. This workshop provided a unique opportunity for participants to share experiences and interact with each other. Feedback from the participants was overwhelmingly positive, describing the program as intriguing, educational, and timely. The workshop concluded with a delightful social get-together with pizza, leaving all participants inspired and sated. CSSR continues to be at the forefront of data-driven innovation, driving change and growth in an ever-evolving industry.

Equinor is a proud industry partner in CSSR. In the domain of data-driven modeling, simulation & optimization, we see value in collaborating closely with CSSR and appreciated participating in the recent joint industry workshop on this topic hosted by NORCE in Bergen. We look forward to the next stages of the research and development work..”
