Energy from the sea
for greener growth?

Monday June 25th, Tuesday June 26, and Wednesday 27th June at Océanopolis in Brest, Brittany - France

Registration


Innovation is an engine of growth. Many countries are committed to the coming new marine renewable energy sector, (including offshore wind). How do we encourage innovation in this field?

How are the European 2020 commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a new leading edge multi-disciplinary industry going to be financed?

Are we facing a new challenge to create an energy Europe with the coastal regions of the Atlantic, English Channel, the North Sea, and the Baltic?

The sector creates jobs, but how do we adapt and transfer knowledge and skills whilst also taking into account the impact of science on society?

Three mornings hosted by European speakers are reserved for exchanges so as better to know, understand, and facilitate the harmonisation of different standards and legislations :

25 June 2012 : Research and Research & Development: policies and finance
26 June 2012: Land use planning
27 June 2012: Economics, employment, training and information

The 2012 Renewable Energy from the Sea symposium, chaired by Professor Michel Ricard, is aimed at interested individuals and industry professionals.
