The total renewable energy resource available from the dynamic behaviour of the world’s oceans has been estimated to be more than 2 TW. The technology for the harnessing of this vast resource is still at the early stages of development and so offers a significant opportunity for Government Agencies, Technology Development Companies and Researchers to create new business and employment activity. The Fifth European Conference is the latest in a series started in 1993 and the subject matter of this Conference covers not only Wave Energy but also Tidal Energy development. The opportunity offered by this Conference to exchange ideas and information with cutting edge researchers from around the world is not to be missed. The large numbers of high quality paper proposals received for this Conference indicates the worldwide interest in this emerging technology. The provisional programme, that has been assembled after peer review by the International Paper Committee, offers an interesting range of topics in all aspects of Ocean Energy Research and Development. I look forward to meeting you all in Cork in September and wish you a successful Conference. Hotels A number of hotels / guesthouses are recommended in Cork and block reservations have been made at these until the 30th June. Reservations should be made directly with the hotels and the prices and room availability cannot be guaranteed beyond this date. Please quote the Conference name when booking.

Registration will also take place from 0800 to 0900 on Wednesday 17th September . All payments for the Conference must be received at the Secretariat before the end of August. Please note that payment can only be made by Euro Bank Draft made payable to University College Cork / Fifth European Wave Energy Conference and invoicing can only be arranged with organisations within Europe. €68 / €92 Post Conference Tour The Post Conference Tour will be held on Saturday 20th September and will be complimentary for Conference Delegates. This tour will include a visit to Bantry House and the 1798 Museum, a visit to a wind farm in West Cork and a visit to Cape Clear, the most westerly inhabited island off mainland Europe, where renewable energy is playing a part in the island energy supply. This will give participants the opportunity to sample ocean energy at first hand. €65 / €50 per person Paper Selection Committee Dr. Gareth Thomas (Chairman) - UCC, Ireland Professor Lars Bergdahl - Chalmers University, Sweden Dr. Alain Clement - Ecole Central de Nantes, France Professor Johannes Falnes - NTNU, Norway Professor Antonio Fiorentino – University of Naples, Italy Dr. Kim Nielsen - Ramboll, Denmark Professor Stephen Salter - University of Edinburgh, UK Professor Antonio Sarmento - IST, Portugal €45 / €35 per person €55 / €39 per person Treble €35 per person
