Offshore research network

Industry and academia have come together to promote research into offshore wind and to share information. The UK Offshore Wind Energy Network (OWEN) numbers 90 members from universities and research institutes and the wind, coastal and offshore industries; it also includes overseas members. OWEN aims to identify the research needed by industry in all areas connected with developing the UK's offshore resource, including shallow water foundations, submarine cabling, product reliability and coastal zone impacts. Information is shared in workshops, seminars and via a newsletter.
