Day one of our PhD course at FNI @fridtjofnanseninst.bsky.social ended with a lovely reception and tour of Polhøgda, Fridtjof Nansen’s historic home. Earlier, Gordon Walker gave a brilliant keynote on energy rhythms—and a few brave souls even dipped in the Oslo fjord at lunch! @noragric.bsky.social

Our final afternoon in Orkney was packed with sunshine and inspiration! We heard about EMEC’s pioneering wave & tidal energy work, explored energy poverty with Florian Ahrens & Francesca Perotti; and a visit to EMEC’s Billia Croo wave testing site wrapped up the day with breathtaking views.
