Reflecting on an Inspiring Annual Assembly
We were thrilled to welcome the offshore renewable energy community to our Annual Assembly for a day of in-depth discussion, new connections, and shared insight. The Supergen ORE Hub provides research leadership to connect academia, industry, policy and public stakeholders to drive innovation and advocate for offshore renewable energy research. The Annual Assembly provides the ideal platform to collaborate and share cutting-edge, high impact research and keep pace with advancements in the rapidly evolving offshore renewable energy sector.
Thank you to all our speakers and panellists for their time and perspectives. Throughout the day, we heard from researchers addressing critical issues around the acceleration of offshore renewable deployment, to insight from those working at the forefront of the sector's industrialisation and a broad showcase of innovative work from our early career researcher community.
On Monday 14 April, the Early Career Researcher Forum welcomed 55 participants for focused sessions on research progression and career development, designed to connect and support the next generation of research leaders.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope the momentum continues and you stay engaged through conversations, collaborations, and upcoming Supergen ORE Hub activities. Sign up to our newsletter, sign up to a Masterclass or webinar.
If you weren't able to join us, the full event recording will be available soon, and in the meantime, additional content is available below.
The full event recording is available here, along with additional research material that extends beyond what was shared at the Assembly.
