A virtual short course on offshore wind energy
S. Himmelstein | January 18, 2023A virtual course offered by the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) will cover offshore wind energy technology. Two online interactive four-hour sessions are designed for professional non-engineers who would benefit from understanding the offshore wind energy industry, and for engineers and technical staff who are new to this sector or making a transition from another industry.
Held in conjunction with Cranfield University, the SUT course will be led by industry and academic experts from BP, Cranfield University, Partrac, GUH, MarineSpace, MCL Consultancy, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and St Jules.
