DEMOWIND IS THE OFFSHORE WIND EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA NETWORK (ERA-NET) COFUND.
The first DemoWind Programme brings together organisations which fund and manage research and innovation from six countries: Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK.
DemoWind aims to support the development and demonstration of innovative technologies which can reduce the cost of offshore wind energy. DemoWind will target capital intensive, industry-led demonstration projects that would be difficult or impossible for a single country to support. It helps to align national research between the six partner countries and promote knowledge-sharing between national innovation programmes.
The overall aim of DemoWind2 is to stimulate offshore wind cost reduction through facilitating a joint transnational Call for proposals for offshore wind innovation projects which have the potential to reduce the cost of offshore wind energy in Europe. It brings together organisations which fund and manage research and innovation from six countries: Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the UK.
