One of the global energy industry’s most respected leaders is to deliver the Distinguished Lecture at the marine science and ocean technology community’s largest event, Oceanology International 2008, which runs from 11-13 March at London’s ExCeL. Lord Browne of Madingley FRS FREng, President of The Royal Academy of Engineering and the former group Chief Executive Officer of BP plc, will deliver his presentation at the conference being held under the overall mantle of Technology, Sustainability and the Oceans.
Lord Browne’s acceptance of the invitation to deliver the Distinguished Lecture, a long-standing tradition at previous Oceanology International events, is further evidence of Oi08’s growing global stature. His lecture on Day 2 will revolve around the event’s key themes of climate change, meeting future energy needs and ensuring environmental and civil security.
Keynote speakers on Day 1 at Oi08 will include Prof Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director at the European Environment Agency; Capt. Dana Goward, Acting Director for Transition; Assistant Comdt for Policy & Planning, and Director, Maritime Domain Awareness Program Integration at the US Coast Guard; Dr Leo Roodhart, Vice President, GameChanger Group, Shell Technology Futures; Prof Robert Watson, the UK government’s Departmental Chief Scientist, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra); and John Westwood, Managing Director, Douglas-Westwood Limited. All set the scene for the focused technical and scientific sessions that follow during the three days of the event.
Oi08, with its exhibition featuring over 500 suppliers from more than 20 different countries, is organised by Reed Exhibitions, with the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST), and the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) taking responsibility for the agenda-setting conference.
