Workshop: 'What next for floating offshore wind? Lessons learned and challenges to be solved'.

Floating offshore wind opens new possibilities for wind power locations and will contribute significantly to an increase in offshore wind power worldwide, but there are still challenges to be solved to bring down costs and scale up solutions.
