Background:
One Ocean Week a major annual event in Bergen. The event brings together researchers, the public, policymakers, and industry representatives for discussion, knowledge sharing, and activities related to the sustainable use of the ocean. One Ocean Week an official part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science.
The event is organized by the One Ocean partnership, Havbyen Bergen brings together stakeholders from the business community, academia, and the public sector. The project, which receives core funding from Bergen , Vestland County, and the University of Bergen, with active contributions from the Institute of Marine Research, comprises nearly 100 partners.
Previously, One Ocean Week One Ocean, Havbyen Bergen had their own website. Now, they wanted to bring everything together under one umbrella. Among other things, the new websites had to:
- Raise awareness of and generate interest in One Ocean Week
- Easily view all events during the week
- Make it easy to submit events
- Highlight members' activities and contributions to the collaboration
- Promote cooperation within the network
Solution:
After an insight process involving workshops and gathering requirements from stakeholders, we built a website with a simple and clean design, but with enough structure and functionality to handle a complex program and many contributors.
