We would like to share recent updates from the Floating Infrastructure Research Group (FLORA).
[SNU College of Engineering and NTNU Sign MOU for Research Collaboration on Floating Infrastructure]
- Securing Future Construction technologies, such as floating hotels and offshore wind power
- Paving the way for a new era of marine and coastal infrastructure on the Korean Peninsula
On June 23, the College of Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) to promote joint research and technological advancement in the field of floating infrastructure.
The signing ceremony took place at the NTNU campus in Trondheim, Norway, and was attended by key figures, including Dean Olav Bolland of NTNU’s Faculty of Engineering and Professor Ho-Kyung KIM of SNU’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, affirming the commitment of both institutions to collaborative efforts.
In conjunction with the signing ceremony, the 1st Korea-Norway Joint Workshop on Floating Structures was held on June 20 and 23, 2025. The workshop brought together over 40 experts from both countries for active discussions and exchanges on floating infrastructure technologies.
Following this agreement, both institutions will actively pursue practical collaboration, with a strong focus on future-oriented infrastructure technologies, including the highly anticipated “Great Han River Project,” floating hotels, and offshore floating wind platforms.
Meanwhile, SNU has been operating the Floating Infrastructure Research Group (FLORA) since 2023 with support from Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Over a five-year period (until 2027), the group will conduct joint research with Norwegian counterparts on floating bridge technologies applicable to the E39 coastal highway project, which aims to span Norway’s deep fjords—some reaching depths of up to 1,000 meters.
