This international event aims at presenting the best on-going R&D on deep sea offshore wind farms, bith bottom fixed and floating. The conference is hosted by SINTEF and NTNU and organized in cooperation with the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) joint programme on wind energy.

The conference has been developing every year since 2004, and is established as an important venue on deep sea offshore wind R&D. The conference is organized in association with the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) joint programme on wind energy, and has since 2014 been extended to a three day event giving more time for presentations and networking. The aim is to present the latest and best on-going R&D on deep sea offshore wind farms.

The programme will include a mix of plenary presentations with broad appeal and presentations in parallel sessions and posters on specific science and technology themes.
