“Shaping the future of offshore wind in Nova Scotia”
The Nova Scotia Offshore Wind R&D Conference will bring together the leading minds in offshore wind R&D to Halifax, Nova Scotia from September 23-24, 2024 at the Halifax Convention Centre.
Researchers and technical experts will share their insights to assist leaders in the development of the offshore wind sector. New strategies and networks are being established to advance development and sustainability in the North American eastern seaboard region and globally. The conference will discuss research findings, identify what are the gaps in R&D and what is needed to fill these areas with knowledge, while keeping pace and recognizing the opportunities as the sector steadily progresses.
The conference will be hosted alongside OCEANS 2024 and feature over 25 sessions, 100+ speakers and 250+ attendees across 1.5 days. Concurrent speaker sessions, plenaries, keynotes, a student program, and poster sessions will discuss every aspect of offshore wind energy under three main themes – environment, technology and policy & regulation. Session topics will include: supply chains, permitting, grid interconnection, socioeconomics, geoscience and geotechnology, environmental effects, project financing, resource assessments and marine spatial planning.
Registration will open in the coming weeks.
