The Master in Renewable Energy in the Marine Environment (REM+) receives a World Maritime Week 2023 prize

The World Maritime Week Award 2023 was awarded to REM+ in the category of marine energy and comes as recognition for its trajectory in the sector. Prof. Jesús María Blanco of the University of the Basque Country collected the prize on behalf of REM+ at the Ocean Energy Conference in Bilbao in March.

The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission has also awarded REM+ an excellent grade of 90 out of 100 for the third consecutive year. It thus retains the “Good Practice Flag” and remains at the top level of excellence within the international higher education community.
