Are you a graduate student, early-stage researcher, or young professional in offshore renewable energy?  You’re invited to the University of Maine this October for INORE’s annual North American Symposium!  Join us for four days of research sharing, idea exchange, workshops, and site visits in a dynamic and informal environment.  Meet and collaborate with like-minded individuals from around the world specializing in offshore renewable energy, including:

• Technology and engineering of offshore renewable energy devices
• Environmental monitoring and sustainability of marine renewables
• Marine resource assessment
