-
the European project SEEWEC (Sustainable Economically Efficient Wave Energy Converter), which was a collaboration between 11 partners from 6 EU-countries, co-ordinator Prof. Julien De Rouck; this project came to an end mid 2009, but we keep on working on this subject;
-
the project BOREAS (Belgian Ocean Energy Assessment) under the authority of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office
-
the project Research on concrete possibilities of wave and tidal energy, more generally green energy at sea under the authority of DEME Blue Energy;
- collaboration between several Flemish companies for the development of one's own Flemish wave energy converter. This is a very challenging project!
As a project engineer on wave and tidal energy you will be working on the above-mentioned projects and also maybe on new projects.
