MARINERG-i aims to create an integrated European Distribute Research Infrastructure (DRI) in Europe, for delivering Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies to the market. It will be a long-term, sustainable partnership between the highest quality testing facilitates, providing a coordinated set of services that meet current and future end-user requirements.

Join us at this project launching event to learn more what this future world’s leading distributed infrastructure will offer to the ORE sector.

Reliable and efficient connectors are crucial for the deployment and maintenance of ocean energy devices. The choice of connectors can significantly impact the operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness of projects. Join this debate to hear experts discuss current challenges and help chart the course for the future of ocean energy connectors.

This joint ETIP Ocean and OES-Environmental workshop will present the latest results of environmental research on ocean energy. Breakout groups will then focus on the most pressing topics such as collision risk and noise. Join the discussion about the next research priorities as the sector moves towards larger farms.

As more and more farms are about to hit the waters, leveraging the power of de-risking instruments to mitigate technical risks is a major priority for the sector. Join the conversation with experts and industry players to find out how to unlock the wave of private investments required to boost pilot farm financing.
