Present Your Work
A core part of the work of Supergen ORE Hub Network is to support knowledge exchange and encourage new collaborations within the offshore renewable energy sector. We're delighted to host the Forum to support connections and, as part of the programme, we encourage all Forum attendees to give a quickfire introduction (around 1 minute) about their work. During the registration process, please provide a 1-slide summary of your work to support your introduction. Send any queries to supergenorehub@eng.ox.ac.uk
We look forward to welcoming the Early Career Network to the next Forum. Please secure your place by registering here.
Registration closes Tuesday 3 November, midday.
