What makes education truly useful? Three talks from the University of Stavanger explore what happens when academia opens its doors to the real world. Tonight's speakers share a common ingredient: the belief that the best learning happens when the classroom and the world outside it join.

A classroom that looks like the real world
What if the classroom looked like the real world? In the InGenious Program at the
University of Stavanger, students, faculty, and regional partners tackle live sustainability
challenges—renewables, circular economy, agri-tech—side by side. By co-creating
solutions, students gain skills beyond the syllabus, companies get fresh insights, and
the university acts as a boundary institution, accelerating the region’s green transition.

UiS and Regional Innovation Ecosystem
University of Stavanger’s Regional Innovation Hub aims to connect students,
researchers, companies and citizens to spark new ideas for a greener, smarter future.
By gathering real challenges from society and turning them into learning, collaboration
and innovation opportunities, the hub acts as a meeting place where creativity becomes
action. Join us to explore how simple connections can grow into real regional impact.

Co-creating education
The world is changing fast and academia needs to keep up. SUBSET is a research project at the University of Stavanger asking a simple question: what does industry actually need graduates to know? Through interviews, workshops, and surveys, we've mapped out skills expected of new graduates in geoscience and reservoir engineering programs. The picture, however, is further complicated by the emergence and increasing adoption of AI tools. We'll look at what we co-created and hints to future changes.
