The purpose of this workshop is to bring together academic researchers, environmental agencies and industry to discuss the potential challenges and opportunities for integrating marine science at the design stage of offshore structures to enable better environmental management.
NERC, in association with MASTS and the SUT, will be holding a ‘Design for Decommissioning’ workshop at Dynamic Earth.
This workshop is relevant to oil and gas and offshore renewable energy, and is open to academic researchers (from both environmental and engineering disciplines) and interested industry and policy representatives.
