The 16th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference will take place between 7-11 September 2025 in Madeira, Portugal. The EWTEC series are international, technical and scientific conferences, focusing on renewable marine energy – wave and tidal – which are derived from the water column in the ocean.
EWTEC is well established among renewable energy conferences showing considerable growth since its launch in 1993. Since its inception, EWTEC has provided global focus for all activities in wave and tidal energy conversion technologies, research, development and demonstration.
EWTEC is widely respected for its commitment to high quality of academic and industrial contributions, which are peer reviewed, delivered at the conference and published in the proceedings. Highly impactful outputs from the conference proceedings are normally selected to be published in the EWTEC’s International Marine Energy Journal.
