winds and tides
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

“Winds and Tides” project stems from the situation of three European regions with regards to the development of the marine renewable energy industry. In 2020, 4% of European electricity will be produced from Marine Renewable Energy(MRE). The Basse-Normandie region holds a strategic position at the heart of France’s first offshore wind turbine programme, making the most of the natural, structural and technological advantages that have put it at the forefront of this promising sector. Moreover a development plan for the experimentation and production of electricity through tidal farms particularly in the Cotentin area is being currently undertaken in order to exploit tide time differences to maximize the use of resources. Scotland has ambitious aspirations for renewable energy. The Wind and Marine Renewable sectors are quite advanced with a high level of onshore and offshore wind either built, consented or planned and Marine Renewable are high priority with the establishment of the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC). This ambition is reinforced by the Scottish Government who have a target for 100% of electricity from renewable by 2020. Norway is a big oil and gaz producing country. Renewable energy has mostly focused on hydro-electricity but there a few projects in MREs today. One main reason is their wish to maintain nature untouched for future generations. As our “oil age” will go away Norway has to focus on renewable energies and the enterprises on the Western coast will have to find new markets outside the oil supply industry. “Winds and Tides” implementation and progress is a unique opportunity to accompany the development of the industry in Lower Normandy, Scotland and Norway, through the creation and testing of a specific training design tailored to the requirement of companies. The mapping of competencies and analysis of existing curricula, identification of gaps to be filled in will be undertaken prior to the creation of crosscutting and customized modules , targeting level 4 and 5 of the EQF, to be introduced in pathways , initial and ongoing. A strong focus will be made on work-base learning in the framework of joint training with companies which will support the project development. The project outcome will be disseminated through a guidebook based on case studies and providing the content of the modules.
