The next and final call is due to open in June 2020 and will raise the total allocated by the project to over €5 million. So far, the total time allocated by MaRINET2 test centers comes to nearly 400 weeks, benefitting users from 18 EU countries, as well as Australia, Canada, Norway, Brazil and the US.
The MaRINET2 project coordinator, Dr. Jimmy Murphy said: “Free access to test facilities gives an important boost to both individual technologies, but also the progress of the European offshore renewable sector as a whole. We are already starting to see the results of the project’s earlier calls, and the advances this testing brings to the technological state-of-the-art. We look forward to the final call next year and to sharing more testing successes as developers complete their programs.”
An open call for virtual access to data sets and a free-of-charge training programme are also available through the project.
