Welcome to Students’ Day at Nor-Fishing

We put students at the centre of attention on the final day of the exhibition. The organizers invite students from all study programmes to take part in Student Day — a dedicated day filled with inspiration, activities and valuable networking opportunities. Start your day at the check-in session, then head into the exhibition area to explore activities, visit booths, and discover what interests you most.
Food from the ocean gives the world perspectives for a healthier diet and a greener future. The fisheries sector is a true knowledge industry with highly advanced technologies. It is also constantly evolving, thus in need to recruit more and new types of candidates. This applies to all fields: electronics, vessel design, gear development, processing on board and on land, and production of value-added products.
Nor-Fishing is one of the largest exhibitions in the world showcasing technology, processes and services related to harvesting, processing, transport and sales of seafood. Trondheim is its host town every other year, attracting approximately 20,000 visitors from about 60 different nations.

Location: Trondheim Spektrum (Klostergata 90, Trondheim)
