The INESCTEC.OCEAN project aims to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Ocean Research and Engineering (OR&E) in Portugal, addressing in a synergistic way the fields of marine structures, marine robotics, ocean energy, and ocean data.
This CoE will meet the growing technological and scientific needs of emerging markets across a wide range of "blue economy" applications, such as offshore renewable energy, offshore aquaculture, maritime transport and fisheries, deep-sea resource exploration and bioprospecting, among others.
This new CoE is anchored in INESC TEC's scientific and technological expertise in marine research areas and benefits from the mentorship of SINTEF OCEAN (SINTEF), Norway's leading R&D centre.Ocean Energy will be the CoE's main priority.
The current energy context and zero-carbon strategy place Renewable Energy production among the most relevant priorities for EU growth and social stability.
This CoE will work in conjunction with three unique and complementary infrastructures in Portugal, led by INESC TEC, that support the development and testing of offshore renewable energy systems: the Blue Hub in Leixões, the Offshore Renewable Energy Test Centre in Aguçadoura, and the TEC4SEA Infrastructure for testing and validating technologies in an ocean environment.
