“Shaping the future of offshore wind in Nova Scotia”
The Nova Scotia Offshore Wind R&D Forum will bring together the leading minds in offshore wind R&D to Halifax, Nova Scotia on November 18, 2024, at the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel. The Forum is hosted by Net Zero Atlantic and will be held in connection with the Marine Renewables Canada Conference, providing a specialized stream by highlighting research and development in the offshore wind sector.
Core activities: Researchers and technical experts will share their insights to assist leaders in the development of the offshore wind sector in Nova Scotia. New strategies and networks are being established to advance development and sustainability in the North American eastern seaboard region and globally. The Forum will discuss research findings, identify what are the gaps in R&D and what is needed to fill these areas with knowledge, while keeping pace and recognizing the opportunities as the sector steadily progresses.
Program basics: The Forum program will feature over 15 sessions, 50+ technical presentations and 200+ attendees across one day. Concurrent speaker sessions, plenaries, keynotes, a student program, and poster sessions will discuss every aspect of offshore wind energy under three main themes – environment, technology, and policy and regulation. Session topics include supply chains, permitting, grid interconnection, socioeconomics, geoscience and geotechnology, environmental effects, resource assessments and marine spatial planning.
The details of the Forum’s program will be released in the coming days. Please check the Forum website for further details. CLICK HERE.
