Let the young voices be heard!

ONS Young is the arena for the young, by the young – where we explain energy and challenge the industry. In 2022 we are shaking things up by growing bigger and changing location! This year ONS Young will be held in DNB-arena, with more activities, speakers, and fun than ever before. We welcome over 70+ speakers to our ONS Young events alone and include five target groups that all have their own events. See below to find where you fit in!

The energy industry is in a constant state of development and it is vital that the young voice is loud and clear in this transition. At ONS Young you will learn how to challenge the status quo, develop your career and network, as well as learn more about what issues need solutions within the fields of climate change, society, the energy industry, politics, and geopolitics. We want YOU to set your mark on ONS and welcome you to start your ambitions to become future leaders and make your voice heard.

The industry needs young energy!

The idea behind ONS Young is to:
  • Create an arena where ALL young people can see how energy, climate change and technology relate to them
  • Show and promote the diversity of the energy industry
  • Create an important meeting place for the next generation of leaders
  • Inspire new people to choose an education within science
  • Promote career opportunities in the energy sector and beyond
  • Give the young professionals in the industry a valuable network arena
  • Create an arena for dialogue, discussion and to challenge the industry
  • Bring the young voices forward

The perfect place to kick-start your career – or take it to the next level.

Teachers' Classroom

We want teachers and advisors to be able to update their knowledge on needed skills, the future of work and possibilities in the energy industry. That’s why we invite all teachers, principals and advisors from lower and upper secondary school to come to ONS for free.

Here is how it works:
  • We suggest that you come to “University Day” (Monday August 29th) if you want a broad introduction to the topics of ONS Young, get updates on the energy industry, talk to academia (UiS, NTNU and BI will be present), and also young professionals from the energy industry. See the programme for University Day here. This programme requires no previous knowledge of the industry.
  • By registering for your Teachers ticket, you also gain access to ONS similar to an “Exhibition Ticket”. Explore our ONS Exhibition, Scale Ups Arena, Technical Sessions, Centre Court, Net Zero Markets and ONS+ for free all four days.
  • High School teachers that have students joining “Future Students Days” can join their students in attending.

Our hope is to teach you as an educator about the various opportunities in the energy industry, so you are better equipped to provide pupils with accurate information when offering study and career guidance.
