About us

Ocean is a website that presents ocean related activities at the University of Gothenburg. The web site presents research, education and news about the ocean from many different perspectives and scientific disciplines. The web site is managed by communication officers at the Centre for Sea and Society.

With its location by the West Coast of Sweden, the University of Gothenburg is a recognisable centre for Swedish research and education about the ocean. The University also has a marine infrastructure with laboratories and instruments that enables research at the highest international level, and that welcomes researchers and students all over the world. On this web page, you can read more about the University's marine organisation.
