14th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference

The University of Plymouth are delighted to be hosting the 14th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference on 5th to 9th September 2021, and welcoming the wave and tidal community to the city of Plymouth in the heart of the South West of England.

The region draws from a rich heritage of marine and maritime expertise to maintain its powerful track record as a hub for research and development in offshore renewable energy.

The University of Plymouth’s history of excellent coastal and ocean engineering spans decades, and attracts talented scientists to join the ranks in the search for innovative solutions to global engineering challenges – making it the perfect host for EWTEC 2021.

The University of Plymouth is located on the beautiful coastline of South Devon, and at the heart of the very centre of the city. We’re one of the largest Universities in the region, and our world-leading researchers and state-of-the-art test facilities attracts some of the top marine-related academic and commercial research projects from around the world.

Plymouth and its stunning historical waterfront location, rich maritime history, natural harbour and diversity in fish and marine life in Plymouth Sound, has led to it being named as the UK’s first National Marine Park. We’ve also been named as one of the best holiday destinations for 2020 and the friendliest city in the UK.

With excellent transport links, breath-taking views of the coast and countryside, range of restaurants, quirky independent and top brand shops, Plymouth has something for everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant city for EWTEC 2021.
