New partnership: COWI to co-develop educational programmes within key green technologies

COWI is proud to announce, that we are partnering with The Renewable Construction Academy (RECOA). As Academy Partner, COWI will collaborate with RECOA to co-develop a cutting-edge educational programme focused on offshore wind energy, direct electrification, and green fuel production. 

This initiative aims to equip a cohort of renewable energy professionals with the skills needed to drive the energy transition in the years to come. The partnership has already begun developing courses in offshore geosciences, starting with “Site & Survey Data Fundamentals”. 

“We are proud to be an Academy Partner of RECOA and are excited about our future collaboration in developing the Geoscience course series. This course will explore the critical importance of geotechnical and geophysical site investigations in offshore wind projects. With COWI's decades of expertise in Offshore Wind Geoscience, we are committed to equipping the next generation of professionals with the essential skills and knowledge to drive the future of sustainable energy,” says Murtada Al-Jaburi, Market Director Offshore Wind, COWI A/S.

He continues:

“Understanding Geoscience plays a pivotal role in supporting the consenting, permitting, and technical design envelope of offshore wind projects. Participants will gain practical insights that can be directly applied to real-world scenarios. From this they can enhance their capability to manage site investigations and data effectively and provide site valuable site characterization - thereby ensuring the successful planning and development of offshore wind projects.”  

These courses will bridge the gap between technical expertise and practical application, offering insights into geotechnical and geophysical site investigations essential for the planning and development of offshore wind projects. The training empowers learners to effectively manage and interpret site investigation data, supporting the successful execution of renewable energy projects. 

COWI brings decades of experience in delivering innovative and sustainable solutions worldwide, with a strong presence in Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland, Germany, North America, South Korea, Taiwan & Japan. 

Our involvement in this partnership aligns with our FUTURE-NOW strategy, which is dedicated to accelerating the green transition by focusing exclusively on projects that contribute to a sustainable future. Through this collaboration, the courses will adhere to the highest industry standards and sustainable practices. 

RECOA’s mission is to provide structured and standardised industry-relevant education to increase the efficiency and build-out of renewable energy projects globally in support of the green transition. 

"We are thrilled to welcome COWI as an Academy Partner, joining forces to shape the future of renewable energy education. This partnership embodies our shared commitment to accelerating the global green transition, starting with developing the Geoscience course series, which will equip renewable professionals—across the organisations—with critical offshore geoscience knowledge and applicable skillsets. By combining COWI's decades of innovative expertise with RECOA's educational framework, global reach and dedication to practical and impactful learning, we are paving the way for the next generation of professionals in sustainable energy," says Martin Schnoor Warming, Founder and Managing Partner, the Renewable Construction Academy.
