The Implementation Working Group on Offshore Wind (IWG OW) is one of the 14 Implementation Working Groups of the SET Plan. Its main objective is to facilitate the implementation of the research and Innovation (R&I) priorities through cross-border coordination of nationally funded projects. The IWG OW will work in close collaboration with key SET-Plan stakeholder partners such as the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Wind Energy (ETIPWIND), the joint Programme for Wind Energy of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA JP WIND), the SET-Plan secretariat and SETIS2.
