About AWTEC

Introduction

Introduction

AWTEC is an international technical and scientific conference focused on the ocean energy technologies and development started from 2012. AWTEC was founded as the sister conference with EWTEC being held every even years in Asia. AWTEC’s linkage with EWTEC provides a platform for greater Asia-European researcher interaction, development of international research relationships, and the identification of new methodologies necessary in addressing the challenges in the development of marine renewables.

AWTEC is being recognized as the leading conference in ocean wave and tidal renewable energies and widely respected for its commitment to maintain high standards in the quality of academic and industrial contributions in Asia.

AWTEC will provide the attendees with an ideal forum to engage in knowledge transfer and debate at the cutting edge of marine renewable ocean energy technology and also deliver an update on recent global activities and initiatives with a distinctly special interest in the Asian region. The conference will provide opportunities for researchers, engineers, policy makers and stakeholders to exchange knowledge by profound discussions and recent research presentations and promote international and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
