This format will extend your work’s impact beyond this conference to a wider yet select audience. All technical papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers who are experts in the field who have been nominated by the ICOE Organising Committee. As part of the review period, authors may be requested to amend, correct or revise their paper. Papers that meet all criteria will be accepted for publication in a Special Edition of the International Marine Energy Journal.

Acceptance or otherwise is at the discretion of the Organising Committee whose decision is final. All presenting authors must register and pay to attend the Conference.

- Young researchers (students, including PhD students, and post-docs in their first 5 years of research career) will be a part of a competition sponsored by Ocean Energy Systems. The winners of the “Best Poster” awards will be announced during the closing session of ICOE 2024. The prize will consist of a diploma and a monetary prize of €2,000 for the winner and €1,000 for the runner-up.
