UCC PhD Candidate and MARINCOMP researcher James Maguire presented at the 20th Internaltional Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM20). The conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark between the 19th and 24th July 2015. James’ paper entitled “RESIN CHARACTERISATION FOR NUMERICAL MODELLING OF THROUGH-THICKNESS RESIN FLOW DURING OOA PROCESSING OF THICK-SECTION WIND OR TIDAL TURBINE BLADES” was co-written by MARINCOMP researchers Prof Conchúr Ó Brádaigh (UCC) Derrick Doyle, Mark Logan (both Eirecomposites) and Ananda Roy (ICOMP).

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D. has officially opened the UCC Beaufort Building in Ringaskiddy, which will provide Ireland with world-class infrastructure for renewable energy and maritime research to power the ‘blue economy’. The 4,700m squared five storey building features state-of-the-art wave simulators, test tanks, workshops and offices. MARINCOMP was represented on the day by Prof Conchúr Ó Brádaigh, Principle Investigator of MARINCOMP and Director of MaREI.

There was a poster display on the day which included the MARINCOMP research poster.
