Who AWESDI works with

AWESDI brings together a wide range of stakeholders across the Atlantic Area who play a key role in shaping how wave energy is understood, planned and deployed.

By providing evidence, tools and opportunities for collaboration, the project supports more informed decisions, stronger alignment and more sustainable deployment pathways across regions and governance levels.

They appear to be engaged in a meeting or training session, each holding papers or clipboards, suggesting active participation. The atmosphere seems focused and attentive, with the women looking in the same direction, perhaps towards a speaker or presentation. The room features a wall covered in colorful sticky notes, indicating brainstorming or collaborative planning.
