ISOPE-2018

The 28th International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference
Sapporo, Japan

Ocean Arctic Energy

SapporoJune 10−15, 2018

Join us in Sapporo, Japan: home of the 1972 Winter Olympics and 2017 Asian Winter Olympics
Since ISOPE-1992, the annual ISOPE conference has been the world’s largest technical conference of its kind with peer-reviewed papers. Proceedings
are indexed by Scientific and Technical Proceedings (ISTP/ISI), Web of Science, Google Scholar, Engineering Index, EI Compendex, Scopus,
Chemical Abstracts and more. Following the all-time record-breaking attendance at ISOPE-2007 Lisbon, the conference has continued to set newrecords, receiving 1,700+ abstracts for ISOPE-2015 Hawaii. The conference is being organized by the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of theInternational Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE) with 30+ cooperating organizations. Its objective is to provide a timely international
forum for researchers and engineers.
