CLT partners up with Dr. A. Vakis for the NextGenOffshore Project

NextGenOffshore aims to promote interdisciplinary education and research in offshore renewable energy, namely wave energy devices and offshore wind turbines, together with energy storage systems, the management of energy assets, and hybrid energy farms. In addition to the technical aspects, the education and research also include relevant policymaking, legal, social acceptance, economics, environmental, spatial and multi-use considerations. To achieve this, our team will develop a course comprising online self-study and onsite challenge-based learning for students from Groningen, Ghent, Basque Country and Uppsala to earn credits with the use of specialized digital twins: virtual representations of the various technologies and systems.
