IMarEST Technical Forum at HR Wallingford
About this event
IMarEST’s inaugural Technical Forum is a one-day event bringing together experts from across marine engineering, science, and technology to explore emerging trends, industry insights, and operational issues shaping the future of the sector. It draws on the expertise of IMarEST’s Special Interest Groups, which contribute to international maritime policy through forums such as the International Maritime Organization.
The day includes behind-the-scenes tours of HR Wallingford’s research facilities, which support marine, coastal, port, and offshore projects worldwide, alongside presentations from the Special Interest Groups and from HR Wallingford’s scientists and engineers. The forum is open to members and non-members.
