Join us on Day 1 to hear about research from a variety of subject areas centred around the Value of Marine Artificial Structures (MAS). You’ll hear presentations on:

• Decommissioning and expansion in a nature-positive era
• Understanding the risks and opportunities of lesser-known marine artificial structures
• How can communication and meaningful consultation support a just, nature-positive offshore energy transition
• Building transparent and defensible decision-making frameworks for the offshore energy transition

On Day 2, you’ll hear presentations in the morning on the following themes:

• Policy conflicts and co-benefits across climate, nature, and energy security
• End-of-life solutions and the future of repowering, reuse, and circularity in offshore energy

In the afternoon, two workshops will be held, from 2:00pm – 4:30pm. More details will be announced soon.
