7th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference
Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2007
By António F.

Falcão, Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal
These conferences started in Edinburgh in 1993 and have been taking place
every two years in different European countries.
"Tidal" was added to the title
at the time of the 6th conference held in Glasgow in 2005.
The conference was attended by about 350 participants, 86% of whom were
from Europe.
Taking into account that wave and tidal are not mature technologies
(in the most advanced cases, they are at the demonstration or pre-commercial
stages), the percentage of participants from companies was remarkably high
(65%) as compared with those from universities (29%) and other institutions
(6%).
The conference banquet took place appropriately in the wine cellars of one
of the oldest Port wine companies.
103 papers were selected for presentation and publication in the proceedings,
after peer review of the full-length paper.
