Séance plénière 2012
Sea Tech Week opening session

Sea Tech Week 2012 opened with a plenary session on the morning of Tuesday 9 October 2012. As well as providing an overview of the event, the session was also intended to set out the major challenges, research issues and prospects for Marine Renewable Energies (MRE).
Experts of national and international renown ensured high quality presentations. These were followed by a round-table discussion, chaired by a journalist, Jean-Louis Le Corvoisier, during which experts debated with representatives of industry, national and European administrations and organisations.
On behalf of the Sea Tech Week organizing committee, we would like to extend our deep appreciation to both speakers and audience.
