The next ICE Coasts, Marine Structures & Breakwaters will take place 25-27 April 2023 at the Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth, UK.
We have selected this date in order give us the best chance of a well attended, face to face event, free from any pandemic-related restrictions.
We hope to retain all the previously 'accepted' papers for the 2023 event. Many of them will benefit from having new data, results and findings given the extra 12 months.
Thank you for your support.
As with previous iterations of Breakwaters, the 2023 event will include a site visit on Friday 28 April, immediately after the main 3 day conference. Details of this will be finalised shortly but please do make a note in your diary!
The 2023 edition will cover the latest developments across maritime engineering topics from coasts to ports and waterfronts to breakwaters, while focusing on the full spectrum of research and study, design, construction and operations.
Given the heightened attention on the ‘climate emergency’, next year’s conference will place a big focus on how resilience and adaptability is being addressed by the maritime sector.
The two previous conferences both attracted over 400 delegates from more than 40 nations and showcased over 100 papers, while also including ‘Spotlight on Innovation’ presentations.
This event qualifies you for CPD points.
