The Final Conference of the SOWFIA project (Streamlining of Ocean Wave Farms Impact Assessment ) will take place on Tuesday 3 September as a side event of the EWTEC 2013 Conference.
The SOWFIA conference will provide an opportunity to overview the final findings of the project, and those who are interested can register at www.sowfia.eu .
The project aims to achieve the sharing and consolidation of pan-European experience of consenting processes and environmental and socio-economic impact assessment (IA) best practices for offshore wave energy conversion developments. Studies of wave farm demonstration projects in each of the collaborating EU nations are contributing to the findings. The study sites comprise a wide range of device technologies, environmental settings and stakeholder interests.
