Pacific Marine Energy Center
Mission
To responsibly advance marine energy by expanding scientific understanding, engaging stakeholders, and educating students.
Core Services Offered
PMEC is an umbrella organization that unifies research & development, testing, and educational programs in marine energy across the University of Washington, Oregon State University, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Individual projects typically cross-cut these capabilities and often involve collaborative teams drawn from multiple institutions. For example, a graduate student might conduct research towards their degree at one of the affiliated test facilities. Our scope includes technology, the environment, and society, with projects often cross-cutting these areas. Projects are collaborative with partners in private industry and National Laboratories.
