Aqua-RET - Aquatic Renewable Energy Technologies

*CONCLUDED*

 

Aqua Renewable Energy Technologies (Aqua-RET) is an EU funded Leonardo da Vinci project that will develop a group of marine renewable e-learning sessions to inform the general public and stimulate companies to intervene in the marine renewable energy industry.  The project started in October 2006 and will continue for a period of 24 months. It gathers entities and institutes of countries such as Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Scotland and Ireland, besides Portugal.

A new training concept

Through e-learning modules using the latest multimedia tools, the user is informed about the existing marine renewable energy technologies, how aquatic renewable energy technologies work, how they fit into the landscape and how they benefit the economy.

The expected outcomes of the Aqua-RET project are a unit of e-learning modules, available online or on CD-ROM, supported by complimentary educational posters based on the aquatic renewable energy technologies (waves, wind offshore, current, tidal barrage, impoundment and run of river), to be used by all groups with interest for aquatic renewable energy.
