• BestOff – Health and Safety in the Offshore Wind Industry Through Skill Development, Coordination and a Corporate Learning Culture

  Due to its relatively young age, the offshore wind energy sector still demonstrates knowledge gaps in safety and health management. Only a few scientific studies have been conducted in this area, and the data sets concerning various practical aspects of safety and health are correspondingly small. The three-year project “Safety and Health in the Offshore Wind Industry Through Skill Development, Coordination and a Corporate Learning Culture” (“BestOff”) therefore pursued the goal of improving the safety and health of personnel employed in the offshore wind energy sector.

• Interlinking the Maritime Industry with the Offshore Wind Energy Industry Sector 2

  The project “Interlinking the Maritime Industry with the Offshore Wind Energy Sector” started with an initial term in 2010 and was successfully completed in March 2012. Due to the positive response and further need for action, the project was again approved by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy in autumn 2013 and started again in September 2013 with an additional two-year term.

• Mobile Touring Exhibition: "Fascination Offshore - Wind from the Sea for New Energy on Land"

  What does offshore actually mean? How many wind parks are being built? And how is the energy transported to the shore? These are just a few questions answered by the mobile touring exhibition: "Fascination Offshore - Wind from the Sea for New Energy on Land"

• OFFWEA: Technical Support for the German Government in the Further Development and Realisation of a Strategy for Wind Farms in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea

  Within the framework of the project, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy has been supported in further implementing the offshore development strategy of the federal government. Thus, the Offshore Wind Energy Standing Committee of the German government with the coastal states (StAOWind) has been set up to optimize information coordination regarding the development of offshore wind energy.

• 4POWER – Policies and Public-Private Partnerships for Offshore Wind Energy

  The 4POWER project promoted the exchange of knowledge between different European regions and aimed to create a common knowledge base on current and future regional challenges in offshore wind energy development. The project sought to provide an improved framework for the development of offshore wind energy in the involved regions by means of policy recommendations on EU legislation.

• Test Field Research (Overall Concept and Initiation of Temporary and Locally Differentiated Offshore Test Field Research)

  This project aimed to create framework conditions for further research, development and demonstration of offshore wind farms. This included an overall concept for test field research, the initiation of a differentiated offshore test field and the monitoring of the individual elements (offshore wind farms) of the test field.

• OFFMASTER: Development of Opportunities and Challenges for the Port and Shipyard Industries in the Course of Offshore Wind Energy Development

  This project from the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation compared and assessed existing scenarios for the expansion of offshore wind energy based on expected technology development by 2020/2030. Future requirements for the port and shipyard industry were derived from this, and the function of the port and shipyard industry as well as the requirements for the offshore wind energy sector were determined.

• "South Baltic OFF.E.R": Offshore Wind Energy in the Southern Baltic Sea

  Within the framework of the INTERREG-IVA Programme, ten partners from Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Denmark as along with ten associated organisations jointly developed  strategies for a faster and more sustainable and harmonious development of offshore wind energy in the southern Baltic Sea.

• SEANERGY 2020 Offshore Energy for the EU – Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) for Renewable Energy and Electricity Grid Infrastructure within the Framework of an Integrated EU Marine Policy

  The main objective of the Seanergy 2020 project was to promote the development of renewable energy at sea, i.e. wind, wave and tidal forces, with the help of marine spatial planning (MSP). Within the framework of Seanergy 2020, recommendations were developed and disseminated to policy makers with the aim of optimally identifying and overcoming barriers to MSP for the generation of renewable energy at sea.
