Thank you for attending the Maynooth Wave Energy workshop on Friday 26th January 2024.The scope of this year’s workshop covered a range of topics across wave energy conversion, with a broad focus on control co-design, and WEC control with an industry session, and featured a range of presentations from international and local speakers, with some focus on the SFI project entitled “Economic wave energy through technical innovation (SeaChange)”. As well as 13 presentations, we hosted a poster exhibition and an open forum discussion followed with the theme: “What magic dust does wave energy need to break through?”.You can access the presentation slides at the following links:Session 1 – Opening and control co-design
