Southern European Community for Offshore Wind Energy
The Southern European Community for Offshore Wind Energy (SHOREWINNER) project aims to create and develop a Community of Practice (CoP) based on collaboration among five Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs), committed to skills development, workforce upskilling and reskilling, resource sharing, and contributing to key European goals and priorities. These Centres of Excellence will be established in Southern European countries with a growing offshore energy sector: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus.
Each CoVE will work closely with national stakeholders to deliver vocational training tailored to the real needs of the local industry. Additionally, SHOREWINNER will promote the creation of a Community of Practice to foster collaboration and build partnerships between vocational training centers, universities, companies, research groups, and industry representatives. This initiative is designed to connect talent, innovation, and opportunity within the offshore wind energy sector, supporting a fair and sustainable energy transition in Southern Europe.
