This June has been a month of significant milestones for SAFEWAVE with AZTI and the CTN – Marine Technology Centre presenting the latest research at prestigious international conferences. AZTI at ISOBAY 18 AZTI showcased the project at the XVIIIth International Symposium on Oceanography of the Bay of Biscay (ISOBAY 18) held in La Rochelle, France,
New project extension!
We are pleased to announce that the SAFEWAVE project has been extended until December 2024. This extension allows us to continue addressing the non-technological barriers that could hinder the future development of ocean energy, a key pillar of the EU Blue Growth strategy. Stay tuned for more developments in this area.
