ECR

In December 2025, CoTide ran its annual two-day Stakeholder Event. The event brought together collaborative teams from Industry, Academia, Government and Civil Society to disseminate research findings and share live outputs and outcomes from the programme. Following constructive feedback from our stakeholders and to meet UKRI's obligations for public accountability and dissemination of information, our CoTide website will now be our platform to connect users of the research outputs and outcomes with the data generated from the programme. Findings from our research is now available to the public via our website. 

Our partners included Intertek, QED Naval, ORE Catapult, EDF Energy, Thakes, Bureau Veritas, Arkema, Orbital Marine, The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Andritz, EPSRC, Marine Energy Council, Menter Môn, Morlais, Achelous Energy, Blackfish Engineering and Tidal Technologies.

We invited people to present industry challenges and perspectives to help syncronise the research on CoTide.
