In addition to the international guests, the members of the Cluster of Excellence and the Maritime Cluster of Northern Germany were offered an exciting thematic mix in the offshore wind sector. The contributions of the evening focused on the interaction of offshore wind farms and the marine environment, how can sea mammals be protected from noise, what does the approval procedure for offshore wind parks look like, which impacts have marine sediments and marine ammunition loads on the foundation and about funding and risk assessment of offshore wind parks.
On these topics, the speakers from industry, SMEs, licensing authorities, financial institutions and from the Ministry of Energy, Agriculture, Environment, Nature and Digitization provided the participants with a comprehensive insight and presented relations and influencing variables, which were further discussed at the subsequent "snacks-n-chat".
Because of the international audience, the language of the evening was English.
