The 8th MTPC will be held at University of Liverpool on 17-18 June 2025.
Postgraduate Research is a key powerhouse delivering research in universities. The aim of the MTPC is to bring together postgraduate students and early career researchers in marine technology to share and discuss their current research in a casual environment. It also provides up-to-the-moment insight for industry attendees into current live research themes, demonstrates facilities and other research capabilities at universities, and reveals wider research networks, exemplifying industry and research sponsorship relationships.
The conference is open to all interested undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and industrials. It will be an opportunity to learn about the research currently being undertaken by postgraduates in marine technology, and direct access to potential future employees. In addition, it provides networking and collaboration opportunities to initiate and develop timely research.

Past successful stories
“Attending the MTPC conference has been one of the major milestones in my PhD journey. As a unique event that gathered nearly all the students, academics, and industry professionals working in marine engineering in the UK, it provided an excellent platform for academic communication. I had the opportunity to present my research, interact with colleagues, and, most importantly, have my work recognised and appreciated. It was also a relaxing networking event where everyone could easily exchange research backgrounds and ideas, which is especially important for junior researchers. Attending the MTPC conference has greatly inspired me and encouraged me to fulfil my academic ambitions.”
