Campus@Sea and ESWA initiate IECRE accreditation process
The European Seaweed Association (ESWA) has joined NEN and CBCE. An important step within the Offshore Proof project, marking the start of the process to obtain Renewable Energy Test Lab (RETL) status under the international IECRE framework. RETL recognition enables the OTS-NL test site to issue independent test reports for technology developers of offshore wave […]
OTS-NL Event 10th of March
On Tuesday 10 March 2026, the European Seaweed Association and Campus@Sea will host a collaborative event at the Offshore Test Site in Scheveningen, bringing together innovators, researchers, companies and policymakers working on offshore technologies. The afternoon programme will tell you more on the growing role of offshore testing infrastructure in accelerating innovation at sea. Participants […]
The North Sea is crowded: why multi-use solutions matter
The North Sea is one of the busiest maritime regions in the world. Energy production, shipping, fisheries, ecology, defence operations and the expansion of offshore wind all compete for limited space. As these activities continue to grow, so does the pressure on the sea. To keep the North Sea safe, sustainable and economically productive, multi-use […]
The role of offshore test sites
Offshore test sites form the missing step between lab and full-scale deployment at sea. They offer a controlled but realistic environment where new technologies can be exposed to real waves, currents, wind, salt and marine life. Offshore test sites help to: They are not only proving grounds for technology, but also for new ways of […]
Offshore Proof: towards certification
Our Offshore Test Site (OTS) off the coast of Scheveningen is part of a European project: the Interreg NWE project Offshore Proof, led by Campus@Sea. This project connects four complementary offshore test sites in Europe: our OTS in Scheveningen, the test site in Ostend (Belgium), Heligoland (Germany), and Paimpol-Bréhat (France). From testing to certification Offshore […]
