NEW VIDEO ON OCEAN ENERGY
Launch of a new video on Ocean Energy on the OES website: 
http://www.ocean-energy-systems.org/what-is-ocean-energy/. The goal of the video is

1. to promote ocean energy as a viable energy resource and educate decision makers as well as public about what ocean energy is and how it can contribute to a sustainable energy production,
    
2. to highlight recent developments, challenges faced by technologies deployed in the ocean and the need for adequate national policies to promote ocean energy,
    
3. to promote international collaboration

WEBSITE
The OES website (www.ocean-energy-systems.org) is the primary source for communicating OES activities to a wider audience.

In 2014, a new area, the World of Ocean Energy, was developed; it includes a web-based GIS tool and interactive maps with details about open sea testing facilities and installed capacity based on the information from the Annual Report. The visitor can navigate between the main overview/statistics and the GIS map functionality, in the tabs.

LEAFLET AND NEWSLETTER
Update of the leaflet and preparation of a newsletter issued biannually, immediately after each ExCo meeting, presenting most updated information exchanged by the delegates. 

Further promotional material includes a display poster and a 6-page leaflet targeting potential new member countries, explaining the role and added value of OES. This leaflet has been delivered to prospective member countries and potential contracting parties.
