SVALEX - The Svalbard Expedition

Svalex is a multidisciplinary integration of students attending petroleum related courses at the Norwegian Universities UiO, UiB, NTNU, UiT, UiS and UNIS. Svalex provides three main arenas for learning: The UNIS campus in Longyearbyen, Svalbard; the cruise liner M/S Expedition, conveying the participants across Isfjorden and surrounding fjords of Svalbard; and the seismic vessel M/S Håkon Mosby, which will carry out seismic acquisition.

Svalex has been run since 2001 with more than 1200 participants in total.
