CA23155 WG2 & WG3 Joint Meeting and Workshop

CA23155 WG2 & WG3 Joint Meeting and Workshop Successfully Held, Including Technical Visit to CorPower Ocean, Stockholm

The CA23155 Working Group-2 (WG2), advanced materials & lubrication for sustainable ocean systems, and Working Group-3 (WG3), Optimized Design Methodologies for Durability-by-Design of Ocean Systems, joint workshop took place at KTH- Stockholm, on Friday 13th March. Dieter Fauconnier, Emami Nazanin and Nuria Espallargas, leaders of WG2 and WG3, were responsible for the organization of this workshop in Stockholm. The main

purpose of this workshop was to strengthen collaboration between WG2 and WG3, as well as, reviewing the progress of ongoing activities, tasks and deliverables.

The meeting focused on developing the work plan report, with detailed discussions on progress across various tasks and deliverables within both working groups. Participants shared updates, identified key challenges, and aligned the next steps to ensure timely and effective implementation of tasks and deliverables.
 
As part of the workshop, a group of WG2 and WG3 members visited CorPower Ocean R&D facility in Stockholm. During the visit, participants had the opportunity to interact and gain insights into CorPower’s innovative wave energy technologies. The visit included a tour of the facilities, allowing attendees to better understand the infrastructure and capabilities supporting the development and testing of wave energy solutions.

This joint meeting and technical visit provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange between academic and industry stakeholders, further strengthening the collaboration within CA23155 and contributing to the advancement of sustainable research.

Engineering Sustainable Ocean Systems Through Tribological Innovation

Connecting European expertise to develop reliable, energy-efficient solutions for offshore wind, wave energy, and marine technologies.

COST

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation. www.cost.eu

The main aim of this Ocean Tribology Center (OTC) COST Action is to create a pan-European-wide network of countries with a strong offshore affiliation for promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing towards the development of sustainable, reliable and energy efficient ocean systems.
