Report from the first workshop

On 26 October 2017 ETIP Ocean organised a first annual workshop to summarise results from 5 webinars broadcasted in 2017. The workshop brought together a broad variety of participants in a single venue to review and build upon the results of the preceding webinars.

The workshop was designed to elicit two key pieces of information – define the key actions and determine the key stakeholders to perform them.

The event generated actions from key questions posed during the webinars. The webinars act as a knowledge sharing platform discussing fourteen identified priority barriers that need to be overcome for ocean energy to reach commercialisation. The goal is to define a common vision for accelerated development of the ocean energy sector and then disseminate knowledge through public engagement.
