Programme Information and Timings Therefore, we have a busy programme which The programme is broken down into six includes 31 peer reviewed technical talks and 6 sections (covering three themes - Tidal, Wave & invited speakers, as well as poster sessions and Cross-Cutting) over the two days, with invited a panel discussion. The sessions are organised speakers to begin each section. We are also by sector (wave, tidal and cross-cutting marine pleased to be hosting three poster sessions, renewables) with a mixture of topics in each (one on Tuesday, and two on Wednesday) and such as engineering, environmental and social a panel discussion to close proceedings on impacts, policy and technology.

He is responsible for the Catapult’s marine renewables strategy and South West regional development programme focusing on floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea. During his career Simon has held various senior manager roles with responsibility for high value technology development projects across the aerospace, communications and marine renewables sectors.

Peter Mazurenko is a Renewable Energy and Project Engineer at AMOG Consulting. Peter has a background in mechanical engineering and has held various roles associated with the delivery of marine fabrication projects. He also has a broad range of experience working on inshore marine deployments, from design and fabrication, to operations and decommissioning. Peter is currently engaged at AMOG's Perth office in Australia, undertaking engineering consultancy work and developing the AMOG IOT smart sensor offering for the mining and shipping industries.

Beth Scott is a Professor at the . She has a multi-disciplinary background in marine ecology and oceanography and her current focus has been the spatial and temporal identification of critical marine habitats where mobile predator and prey species interact. Her research portfolio is central to the understanding of the effects of marine renewable energy systems on multi-trophic interactions. She is a Co-I in the Supergen ORE Hub and is the Environmental Champion. https://www.abdn.ac.uk/people/b.e.scott

Andrea Copping is the research lead for marine and hydrokinetic energy development, and for offshore wind development, for Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, on behalf of the US Department of Energy. Dr. Copping's projects focus on environmental impacts from the development of wave, tidal, offshore wind, ocean current and riverine energy installations, and the role that these effects could play in technology development and project initiation across the nation. Using risk-based approaches, the marine and hydrokinetic and offshore wind team lead by Dr. Copping integrates laboratory, field and modelling measurements into a coherent body of evidence to support siting and permitting decisions. Dr. Copping works across several scientific disciplines to determine implications of human stressors on marine resources and ecosystems processes, working with stakeholder groups and resource managers to ensure that the available scientific information is accessible and available.
