MaRINET2 Launches Program of Courses on Offshore Renewables

MaRINET2 has opened registrations for its first set of short duration courses. These two to five-day courses are led by WavEC (Portugal), and ten will be organized over the next three years. The courses are organized and lectured by project partners, and will be focused on three areas: wave, wind and tidal.

The topics covered include integrated tank testing, hydrodynamics of fixed and floating offshore wind turbine foundations, reliability and risk analysis of ORE technologies as well as test and verification processes from tanks to the sea.

The courses are aimed at early-stage researchers and postgraduate students, as well as industry and private sector participants. They are free to attend, and travel & subsistence support is available to researchers and students.

Information on program, location and duration of the courses is available on the MaRINET2 website, which will be updated whenever there are new details.
