The International Conference on Renewable Energies and Ocean Technologies (REOTech) is organised by SIReL group (FEUP, Portugal), SPFIE (Portuguese Structural Integrity Society, Portugal), IDMEC (IST, Portugal), SOBENA (UFRJ, Brazil), UESTC (China), and MODENERLANDS, which will take place in the City of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, in 1 – 4 September 2025.
This event will be take place at the same time of the International Conference on Structural Integrity 2025.
This conference is intended to be a forum of discussion of new research concepts, equipment, technology, materials and structures and other scientific advances within the field of onshore, power and energy systems, power generation and transmission, estuarine, coastal, offshore, and deep water engineering with particular reference to developments, exploration, installation, application and utilization of onshore and offshore resources.
This event also covers topics related with research, design and construction of wind engineering and renewable energy, computational mechanics and design optimization, instrumentation and testing, structural integrity and life extension of structures, wind and wave dynamics, sedimentation, structural/stress analysis, soil mechanics, material research, and economic, environmental and legal aspects. Such a challenging scenario provides a strong impetus for advancing the scientific and technological knowledge in the various fields related to power and energy systems, renewable energies, naval architecture and ocean engineering including also civil, mechanical, electrical, material, petroleum, coastal and oceanographic engineering, meteorology, applied mathematics, and economic, environmental and legal aspects.
