Runde Enviromental Centre

Runde Environmental Centre is an international environmental research station and visitor center.

The research department (Runde Forsking) establishes infrastructure for monitoring and researching the environment and promotes sustainable technology in fishing, harvesting, and energy production. Runde Forsking undertakes projects for both private businesses and the public sector.

The center also serves as a visitor center (Opplev Runde) with permanent and rotating exhibitions focusing on the environment, climate, marine resources, seabirds, and the island’s nature. There is a dedicated exhibition about the Akerendam shipwreck from 1725. The center has a café that is open alongside the exhibition during the summer season.

Our nature guide takes you on trips to the bird cliffs and along the shoreline to explore the teeming wildlife around us.

We organize and host various gatherings, courses, conferences, and other events, with accommodation available in nearby apartments.
