[Medin_standards] Register now for the ScotMER Symposium

[Miskin-Hymas, Charlotte]

Dear MEDIN colleagues,

Registration for the ScotMER Symposium (6th - 8th Feb 24) is now open!

Registration for the Scottish Marine Energy Research (ScotMER) Symposium is now open. This event will be entirely online via Microsoft Teams, taking place on 6th, 7th and 8th February 2024 and is free to participate.

If you would like to attend, please register for the Symposium here: https://ScotMERSymposium.eventbrite.co.uk

The Scottish Marine Energy Research (ScotMER) programme is a Scottish Government collaborative initiative that brings together: academia, industry, statutory nature conservation bodies, environmental non-governmental organisations and the Scottish Government (marine science, planning and licensing). The aim of the programme is to identify and address evidence gaps in our understanding of the potential impacts of offshore energy on the marine environment.

This symposium will showcase ground-breaking research funded by the Scottish Government and their collaborators to improve the evidence base around how offshore renewable energy developments may affect our marine environment, and other users of the sea. This work plays a key role in supporting the Scottish Government's commitment to Net Zero by 2045. The 5th ScotMER Symposium in January 2023 was a big success with over 700 attendees from over 20 countries.

This three-day event will cover topics including; Ornithology, Marine Mammals, Fish and Fisheries, Diadromous Fish, Benthic Ecology, Physical Process. We will also be holding participatory workshops on Socioeconomics and National Marine Plan 2. In the run up to the symposium, a detailed schedule of the event programme will be emailed to all registered participants and published on the Eventbrite page.

Best wishes,
Charlotte
