 Queens has a vibrant academic environment, which supports world-class innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration between research and education. Offering first class testing facilities and industry knowledge, the university has two wave tanks, a 10th scale tidal energy test site, a 10th scale wave energy test site and most recently a new wave tank test facility in Portaferry. This new facility is built on the knowledge gained in the original tank at Belfast by allowing the technology to be tested under the effects of multi-directional waves.
