Register here for catch the next wave
Are you ready for the technologies that promise to revolutionise marine science and engineering?
Catch the Next Wave is a one-day conference that will take place on 12 March 2012, the eve of Oceanology International 2012, the world’s leading ocean science and technology exhibition.
It will include presentations by global experts on key disruptive technologies and where they are emerging in the marine sector.
Catch the Next Wave will take a longer term view of the capabilities that will shape our future ability to explore, understand, predict and exploit the oceans.
This must-attend event will take place at the prestigious Royal Institution of Great Britain in London, home to two centuries of scientific and technological breakthroughs, and the oldest independent research body in the world. A post conference drinks reception will provide the opportunity for further networking across disciplines.
