Our pilot action in the Baltic Sea region aims to enhance educational and career opportunities in the Offshore Renewable Energies sector, emphasizing upskilling processes and promotion of women involved in maritime technologies. Additionally, we are introducing the concept of ocean multi-use to the Baltic Sea audience by developing the region’s first-ever course on this topic.
In the vast ocean, where innovation meets sustainability, lies a realm of untapped potential in offshore renewables related ocean multi-use. Throughout this MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), you’ll learn about the ocean multi-use and dive into real-world examples of multi-use sites in action, alongside discussions on other space-efficient offshore energy solutions.
What is about?
This course has been developed with the aim of addressing the lack of easy-to-read sources on the topic of offshore renewables-related multi-use. Implementing multi-use as a highly multidisciplinary tool requires a variety of knowledge and expertise that extends beyond any single sector. In collaboration with several multi-use-related projects, including MUSES, UNITED, ULTFRAMS, and MULTI-FRAME, among others, this course has been developed. It builds upon the materials produced in these projects, providing an easy-to-read entry into the relevant topics and materials.
Objectives
Upon completing this course, students will gain a thorough understanding of the principles, benefits, and real-life applications of ocean multi-use, with a particular focus on integrating offshore wind farms with other marine activities in a synergetic way. They will develop the skills necessary for interdisciplinary collaboration, sustainable project management, and stakeholder engagement, utilising insights and methodologies from leading multi-use projects such as MUSES, UNITED, ULTFRAMS, and MULTI-FRAME. Furthermore, students will be better equipped to address practical challenges in the field, enabling them to make valuable contributions to the advancement and sustainability of ocean multi-use projects and space efficient offshore energy solutions.
This course is designed to appear to a broad audience interested in offshore renewables related multi-use, with a focus on accessibility and simplicity. While it is open to individuals with varying levels of expertise, it particularly caters to the following groups:
Framed in the FLORES project
This course is designed to educate both young people and the wider public about innovative ocean multi-use concept, and in particular offshore wind-related multi-use. Our goal is to encourage those young individuals who are still unsure of their career paths and recognize the potential of the ORE industry. Ocean multi-use course highlights that beyond roles such as offshore engineers or mechanics, there are opportunities to engage in the ORE sector for example, as a researcher, marine biologist, fisher,or a tour guide.

The Goal of this pilot action is to contribute to FLORES and OREskills goals by nurturing future ORE talent, supporting upskilling process, and working on closing the gender gap in the sector.
What is about?
The objective of our actions in the Baltic Sea region is to actively promote educational opportunities and career pathways within the Offshore Renewable Energies (ORE) sector to youth and high-school students. By promoting the offshore renewable energy sector and its sustainability aspects to high school students—acknowledging that sustainability plays a major role in their decision-making—we aim to increase their interest in this field and encourage them to consider careers in this sector, including the concept of ocean multi-use. Another objective is to actively participate in talks on how to close the gender gap in the ORE industry and create new jobs in coastal communities around the Baltic Sea region.Â
