FortHjort is a seminar series where research and ideas within marine ecosystem dynamics and related research topics are presented quickly ('fort' in Norwegian) in condensed presentations. FortHjort will be arranged approximately once per month, alternating between Nordnes and Marineholmen where the four partner institutions are located. Each seminar will last 1 hour, and will consist of contributions from three different researchers (15 minutes presentation each plus brief discussion).
