The six monthly SuperGen Marine workshop on 20^th June 2006 was held in Oxford, at St Anne’s College, with the internal SuperGen meeting for academics and RAs held at St Anne’s the day before on 19^th June. Attendance of collaborators and public on the 20^th was by invitation only because places were limited. There was a series of themed talks, with PG poster presentations at lunchtime.

The event was organised by the UK Energy Research Centre. Please read the detailed programme for 20^th June.

On the 29th of September 2004 the SuperGen Marine energy consortium celebrated its 1st birthday with a highly successful seminar in Edinburgh entitled "Charting a Course for Marine Energy".

Marine renewables have the potential to make a significant contribution to UK renewable energy production and can help to meet the Government’s ambitious target of a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Marine renewables also provide a rare opportunity for the development of new markets for UK manufacturing and services industries.

The Marine Energy Research Consortium commenced in October 2003 following the award of £2.6 million under the EPSRC's SUPERGEN Programme. The award will fund research into marine renewable energy conversion and delivery. The consortium is undertaking collaborative research with the intention of achieving a step change in the development of generic marine energy technologies.
