Research Themes
The research themes are the place to go for discussions and updates from ongoing research by your fellow bjerknesians.
The members in the theme might come from another department or institute, or discipline, and can hopefully give valuable new insights to your own research. Many of the themes have sub-groups for more specific research interests.
The theme groups gather approx every 2. month, except from the global theme which is mainly organized through sub-groups.
Include BCCR in your publication
To make sure we count all Bjerknes publications during a year, two steps are crucial
