7th International RAVE Workshop April 30th, 2026 in Hamburg

This year's International RAVE Workshop 2026 is a hybrid event and will take place on April 30th in Hamburg, Germany.

The public workshop is free of charge and offers a well-established space for yearly knowledge transfer and lively exchange on offshore wind-related topics. Current research findings using the data from alpha ventus will be presented and questions from participants can be discussed. Workshop language is English.

One of this year's focus will be discussions and presentations from research and industry on decommissioning and related topics. To discuss the question what further use the offshore industry and Germany can gain from alpha ventus pioneering this era we host a panel discussion. For interesting contributions with a range of perspectives we have invited participants from industry, offshore organizations, federal and public authorities.

alpha ventus is the first German wind farm to reach its design life. As an offshore pioneer in this process it will be followed by many large wind farms.

We are happy and make sure that breaks will provide many options for lively discussions on specialist topics. New contacts can be established between science, authorities and industry and existing networks can be revived in an after-workshop-networking-time after closure.

Please note that lunch is not included in the workshop, as it is part of the publicly funded finalRAVE project. The cafeteria of the FORUM FINKENAU will be open on the day of the workshop and offers different choices of food during lunch time.

The program with the presentations is now published here . Please be aware to check this website frequently as we keep it updated with the latest changes and confirmations.
