Research Areas

MaREI has built upon the excellent track record of well-established marine and energy-based research groups across each of our academic partners, covering a wide range of cross-cutting topics across these spaces, including device design and modelling, energy conversion and storage, novel materials and structural testing, operations and decision support, energy policy and modelling, and environmental monitoring. The PI team comprises internationally recognised experts in these felds from UCC, NUIG, UL, MU, UCD, and CIT, who have complementary research backgrounds key to providing the underpinning research necessary for Ireland to achieve commercially successful marine and energy industries.

In addition to facilitating fundamental research activities, the research programme is closely aligned to the needs of our industry partners, and addresses the real needs of both the companies involved, and the marine and energy sectors as a whole.
