14 3.1 / DISSEMINATION AND OUTREACH Operating Agent Ana Brito e Melo, WavEC, Portugal Duration Annex I - Review, Exchange and Dissemination of Information on Ocean Energy Systems is a mandatory Annex of the OES work programme, which has been running since the formation of the OES. Objective The objective of this task is to collate, review and facilitate the exchange and dissemination of information on the technical, economic, environmental and social aspects of ocean energy systems. Access to this information should facilitate further development and adoption of cost-effective ocean energy systems. In addition, the results of this task aim to facilitate identification of further annexes, as well as continuing to promote information exchange. Progress in 2012 The OES communication strategy is described in the Communication Plan 2012 -2016. During 2012, the following activities have been done: . Website The OES dedicated website (www.ocean-energy-systems.org) is the primary source of communicating the activities of OES to a wider audience and, through the restricted areas, to ExCo delegates. The website was renewed last year and in 2012 a statistical report on the website traffic was prepared covering the first four months the website has been online. In the first four months of 2012 we have reached a total of 10,088 visitors. This is a two-fold increase compared to the old website. . Online Library In 2012 the OES developed and launched a web-based library service offered to the public, with relevant documentation on strategy and policy documents, roadmaps and technical reports. . Annual Report A professionally edited and printed Annual Report is produced each year and 1,000 copies are widely distributed. This is intended as the flagship document for OES’s activities and a marker for industry development. It includes a collection of 4-5 invited papers by international experts on specific themes and national reports from each member country. Members also ensure that the Annual Report reaches its target audience in the respective countries. The publication of the Annual Report was this year accompanied by a worldwide media release. . OES Bulletin The 6-page Bulletin issued each semester, immediately after each ExCo meeting presents most updated information exchanged by the delegates. It is available online and was distributed to a wide range of audience in all member countries. . Promotional Material A display poster has been produced during 2012 to promote OES at conferences and exhibitions. A 6-page leaflet was prepared targeting potential new member countries, explaining the role and added value of OES. This leaflet can be delivered to prospective country governments and potential Contracting Parties. . Exhibition at ICOE 2012 ICOE 2012 included a trade exhibition where many industrial players were present demonstrating the latest technologies in harnessing renewable energy from the sea. For the first time, OES had a stand to display promotional material. ANNUAL REPORT 2012
