Participants are expected to present their perspectives on the broad vision of offshore wind energy sector development and other ways of generating 'green' energy. The problem can be tackled from various angles: logistics, wind farm design and construction, operation and maintenance, software, environmental, mechanical issues, automation, diagnostics or even marine biology.

What are the benefits, and what are the risks of offshore wind farms? Perhaps you have a breakthrough new idea on how to mitigate the negative aspects and expand the positive impact created by generating energy from renewables. If any of these topics cross your mind - this is the competition for you!
