IEEE OES International Symposium on Underwater Technology 2021 was postponed til March 2023 due to Covid-19. We will organize UT21 Online Event during the original symposium dates to make up for the face to face meeting. We hope you will join us for this special program, Underwater Video Competition.


This project aims to stimulate research and development in undersea technology and oceanographic monitoring by providing intellectual stimulation to researchers and engineers by introducing their research and attractive videos to each other. In addition, we aim to build momentum for UT21, which has been postponed for two years.


UT21 calls for videos designed to promote the appeal of Underwater Technology (Undersea Engineering) to a wide audience. Specific themes for the videos are as follows: 


1. Environmental Monitoring 

2. Marine Robotics

3. Marine Mineral Resources 

4. Renewable Energy 

5. Marine Construction 

6. Observatory and Disaster Mitigation 

7. Fishery Engineering 

8. Acoustics and Communications

9. Sensors 

10. Underwater Technology with Covid-19


The International Symposium on Underwater Technology provides a thematic umbrella under which attendees discuss the problems and potential long-term solutions that concern not only the Pacific Rim countries, but the world in general.
