Offshore Renewable Energy, Environment & Society

RATIONALE / LEARNING OUCOMES

Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) developments, including wind, wave and tidal

projects, seek to extract energy from the environment for the benefit of society.

Their success is therefore dependent on the compatibility between device

engineering and the receiving natural and social environment.

This summer school was originally planned as a weeklong workshop for early

career MRE engineers and researchers to be held in March 2020 at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and later replaced with webinars offering much of the content, delivered in August 2020.

The webinar series makes the case for an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach

to MRE development and in particular aims to introduce engineers to the issues

and fundamental concepts of MRE-associated environmental and social science

to improve future collaboration competence.
