International Conference on Ship & Offshore Technology
- India 2017
'Innovations in Ocean Structures'
Call for Papers
7 - 8 December 2017, Kharagpur, India
Organised by The Royal Institution of Naval Architects
and Department of Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture, IIT Kharagpur.
Overview of the Conference
This conference seeks to explore current trends and projected future changes regarding design, installment and operation of marine structures. Such structures are involved in shipping, exploitation of offshore oil and gas hydrocarbons, generation of wave energy, fisheries production as well as for offshore infrastructure construction. The main aim of this conference is to study and demonstrate the vast pool of resources that exists for developing new structures and operational procedures, for innovative and practical methods to operate the new technology as well as the pressing needs for further research and development. This will require innovative thinking from all sectors of the maritime industry, and particularly those involved in ship design and construction.
Kharagpur is the fifth largest city of West Bengal. It was chosen as the location for the first campus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). The IITs are the premier technical education institutes in India and are internationally recognized for their academic and technical excellence. IIT Kharagpur started in the old Hijli Detention Camp where some of India's great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for Indian independence.The history of IIT Kharagpur is intimately linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions anywhere in the world which started life in a prison house.
