Message from the coordinator: coming to an end!
31 March 2025
The MAREWIND adventure has reached the end, and it is logic that this evokes certain sensations, mainly coming from the initial stages of the project. For Lurederra team, assuming the coordination of such a complex project, combining various different and specific technologies implied a challenge, but also excitement for such interesting research.
In a simultaneous way, progress was expected in functional nanocoatings, in novel concretes and in alternative composite formulations for blades, as well as in relation to advanced Structural Health Monitoring systems, including both internal and external strategies.
We knew that certain control was necessary in all development fronts, so sometimes we needed to juggle the tasks of the active work packages with the periodic revisions and compilation of documents.
Nevertheless, the overall feeling after four years of project is gratifying thanks to the fruitful collaboration, the high expertise of the partners and to the hard-working spirit of the consortium to fulfil all the activities.
Finally, we hope that the relevant results of the project are soon successfully integrated in offshore windmill structures, promoting the cost reduction and improving the management of resources regarding renewable energies.
