WinDTwin launches stakeholder engagement with first local workshop integrated into WavEC Lisbon 2025 Seminar
The European funded project WinDTwin will take its first major step in stakeholder engagement next month, using WavEC’s international seminar on 4 December 2025 at the Museu do Oriente in Lisbon as the platform to introduce its vision for the next generation of offshore wind digital twin technologies.
While the WavEC Lisbon 2025 seminar explores broader themes of transatlantic cooperation and floating wind innovation, WINDTWIN will make its debut through a dedicated intervention that launches its local workshop series.
Taking advantage of the diverse and highly qualified audience gathered at WavEC Lisbon 2025, including policymakers, researchers, industry leaders and technology developers, the project will use this occasion to introduce WinDTwin to the wider offshore wind community. The seminar provides an ideal setting to engage stakeholders who are directly involved in shaping the digital and operational future of the sector.
This first workshop action will highlight the project’s objectives, its scientific approach, and the potential of advanced digital twin technologies to enhance offshore wind prediction, operation and planning. It also initiates continuous dialogue with stakeholders, establishing the foundation for future training, knowledge exchange and collaboration activities planned throughout the project.
“WinDTwin is bringing together high-fidelity modelling, simulation and data integration in a way that can genuinely transform how offshore wind farms are planned and operated,” said Ricardo Pereira of WavEC Offshore Renewables. “This first engagement in Lisbon is an opportunity to show how digital twins can support more informed decisions, from forecasting to performance optimisation.”
A second local workshop will take place in Germany later in the project, culminating in a final event in 2027 where the consortium will share the full set of results and tools developed.
WinDTwin is a Horizon Europe project coordinated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and brings together 13 partners from seven countries. Its aim is to develop a new generation of digital twin solutions capable of integrating meteorological, oceanographic, structural and energy market data to provide highly accurate, real-time decision-support tools for offshore wind.
The Lisbon intervention offers stakeholders an early opportunity to connect with the project team and gain insight into how the WinDTwin digital twin platform is being shaped and how it may support industry needs in the coming years.
