The Â鶹´«Ã½ participated in the exhibitions in Glasgow, recognised as the UK's largest event focused on renewable and low-carbon energy.
The event brings together professionals from across the sector to explore developments in energy systems, supply chains, and sustainability. All-Energy provides a platform for discussion, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, while the co-located Dcarbonise exhibition addresses the needs of energy end-users in both the private and public sectors.
Â鶹´«Ã½ experts showcased our cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art testing facilities. They engaged in a conversation on how we can support the industry and organisations in creating sustainable solutions for energy systems, and explored potential R&D collaborations, study opportunities, and skills development in the field of renewable energy.
 

Programme highlights

In this session, Kevin and Martyn addressed the broader impact of academic-industry collaboration in accelerating business growth in the offshore renewable energy (ORE) sector.
They explored how diverse research initiatives enhance R&D within the ORE industry, focusing on how modern, state-of-the-art facilities contribute to de-risking and optimising the development and deployment of new technologies.

ORE Supergen Hub
Extensive research is already addressing the complex challenges in offshore wind, wave, and tidal energy. Overcoming these hurdles demands a connected offshore renewable energy community where collaboration between researchers and industry is strong and knowledge is openly shared.
The session introduced Supergen's new Early Career Network, designed to offer vital support, resources, and networking opportunities for professionals in the first six years of their career in the offshore renewable energy sector.
Led by the Â鶹´«Ã½, the Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub is a government-funded initiative driving groundbreaking research in offshore wind, wave, and tidal energy. It serves as a bridge between academia, industry, and key stakeholders, working to develop innovative solutions and address critical challenges in the sector.
