Seminar: The offshore renewable energy sector at the heart of the cooperation & development strategies of the Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe

This event is co-organised by the CPMR and Brittany Region in the framework of  the 51^st General Assembly and the 50^th Anniversary of the CPMR itself. It will be held on 15 November 2023 in Saint-Malo (Brittany, France).

The seminar will examine the European Commission’s latest legislative proposals on industry and manufacturing from the perspective of the role they can play in developing the offshore renewable energies sector.

The two thematic sessions will take the form of round tables, so that the debate can be structured around key questions relating to the opportunities and challenges facing the development of this sector as well as issues related to planning and interregional cooperation.

The seminar will also lay the foundations for enhanced cooperation between regional authorities, ports, clusters and representatives of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe and the Regional Council of Brittany invite representatives of all offshore renewable energies sector stakeholders to express their interest in participating in the seminar by contacting the CPMR General Secretariat.

Our colleague Elsa García, from our partner CETMAR, will take part into the second session “Enhancing cooperation: seizing opportunities and taking up challenges”.

She will talk about the importance of promoting skills cooperation for the development of the Ocean Renewable Energy (ORE) sector. Elsa will present the key added value of the Pact for Skills initiative and how CETMAR’s participation in the ORE Covenant for Skills/FLORES project is expected to contribute to addressing the skills gap issues in the ocean renewable energy sector. She will also address expectations regarding European and national policy and funding support to strengthen and develop skills cooperation in the field of ocean renewable energy (ORE).
