The 14th edition of the Canagua & Energía Fair, held on November 27, 28, and 29, 2024, in Gran Canaria, was a remarkable opportunity to showcase the MARINERG-i project. Project partner, PLOCAN, attended the event to promote this innovative European initiative and highlight its contributions to advancing offshore renewable energy research and development.
The fair served as an ideal platform to present MARINERG-i’s objectives and mission, emphasizing its role in fostering cross-border collaboration and technological innovation in Europe.
At the PLOCAN stand, we conducted an intensive dissemination campaign to raise stakeholders and awareness about the project among key stakeholders.
We emphasized its mission to drive the development and implementation of marine renewable energy technologies, as well as its focus on creating synergies among stakeholders across Europe.
The fair also provided an excellent opportunity to establish connections with leading companies and organizations in the renewable energy sector. Among the most notable interactions were:
– [Naturgy]

Join us on 14th October 11-12 CET to hear about MARINERG-i Testing Services and Opportunities.
Our keynote speaker Dr. Jimmy Murphy will present on the upcoming funding call for ORE testing in the RISEnergy project.
We are launching MARINERG-i Preparatory Phase project at a side-event during OEE 2024, Aviemore, Scotland, 6th November 2024:
MARINERG-i Project: Shaping the Future of Offshore Renewable Energy Testing in Europe
MARINERG-i aims to create an integrated European Distribute Research Infrastructure (DRI) in Europe, for delivering Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies to the market. It will be a long-term, sustainable partnership between the highest quality testing facilitates, providing a coordinated set of services that meet current and future end-user requirements.
Join us to learn what MARINERG-i plans to offer the Offshore Renewable Energy Sector and give us your input!

We are currently gathering feedback from potential users in a survey to assess the key scientific challenges facing the industry & current and future market trends. By participating you will inform:
The Horizon Europe project MARINERG-i_PP (GA 101128668) is contributing funding to help the MARINERG-i DRI complete the preparation work necessary to begin implementing the pan-European Research Infrastructure, establishing as an ERIC and offering testing services. Read our latest concept note for further information!
ESFRI have announced that MARINERG-i will be one of 11 new Research Infrastructures to be included in the 2021 ESFRI Roadmap (press release).
With the end of the project in sight (December 2019), find the latest progress update in our September 2019 newsletter
The MARINERG-i ESFRI 2021 roadmap application launch will take place in Brussels on 25th September 2019 following the EU ESFRI information day. The event marks the conclusion of the H2020 MARINERG-i project and launches our European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap application. This proposes the formation of an integrated European RI that facilitates the future growth and development of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) sector.
The MARINERG-i RI will be an independent legal entity of distributed ORE testing infrastructures. By consolidating expertise, investment and access to infrastructures, the RI will foster innovation across a variety of ORE technologies and stages of development. As the only integrated ORE platform of this scale worldwide, it will be the epicentre of this developing industry. The project has agreed on an ERIC legal framework and produced science and business plans that ensure the MARINERG-i RI model attains the criteria necessary for a successful ESFRI roadmap 2020 application.
The event will provide attendees with an overview of the proposed MARINERG-i RI and opportunities for networking and discussion with the project consortium (14 partners from 12 countries).

An Information Day will be hosted by the European Commission in Brussels on September 25th (Venue TBC). This event marks the beginning of ESFRI Roadmap updating process, due for completion in 2021. The procedure and requirements for new RI applications to the Roadmap will be presented, along with details of the selection procedure. A presentation will be given on the Roadmap Landscape Analysis of Research Infrastructures, and its ongoing updating process. Monitoring of ESFRI RIs already on the Roadmap will also be discussed.

MARINERG-i presented at ICOE on 14th June 2018 and briefed Minister Denis Naughten (Irish Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment) on the project.
MARINERG-i partners met in Brest, France 7-8 June 2018 to consolidate work to date and draft the design and science plan for the distributed Research Infrastructure. Our thanks to all stakeholders who have participated in surveys so far, your feedback is integral to the planning process. If you have not but would like to be involved in future surveys and other stakeholder engagement activities, please sign up to our mailing list and newsletter.
