Sustainable, Reliable and Socially Acceptable Modular Floating IslAnds for Multi-use Offshore Spaces

FAMOS project is planning to achieve the following detailed objectives: 

• Design and demonstrate novel floating island concepts in 3 European basins: Mediterranean, North, and Baltic Seas 
• Assess the synergies among the islands and breakwater and understand the risks and failure of key structural components. 
• Develop efficient and accurate computational models for prediction of hydrodynamics, structural dynamics, and power performance of the multiple renewable energy devices 
• Boost the impact beyond the academic world by involving relevant stakeholders from the conceptualization phase up to the uptake of research findings into decision-making processes and policymaking
