A Platform for High-Impact Research
This year's Annual Assembly introduces a new format designed to spotlight high-impact research and exciting new initiatives. The Annual Assembly is the perfect platform to connect, collaborate and highlight the research success stories shaping the sector.
Share your research news through a printed poster, recorded presentation or apply for one of a limited number of presentation slots that will be available for researchers, including Flexible Fund projects, core Supergen ORE Hub research and work from Early Career Researchers. Pitch your idea for consideration by the Supergen ORE Hub Management Board who will be looking for novel, high-impact ideas, initiatives that have translated to industry practice, and examples of innovation from early career pathways.
The Annual Assembly, now in its eighth year, brings together the offshore renewable energy community from industry, research, and policy. The event will feature keynote speakers who are leaders in their fields, along with experts from across the offshore renewable energy sector, offering a diverse range of insights and perspectives.
