I think a closer cooperation between the offshore wind industry and higher education institutions across the South Baltic region is actually a must for successful development. The sector needs well-educated people from academia in all these regions, but we also need a continuous updating of their knowledge regarding the new technology, regulations, etc. that are steadily developing within the industry. It is exactly in this gap that we need standardised cross-border training programmes such as Generation BALT to address this lack of up-to-date skills.

Thanks to the expertise provided by RES-Chains, we will turn the old dump in Gullberna, which has been classified as one of the ten most contaminated in Sweden, into a photovoltaic park. The site is located in close proximity to the Amiralen shopping centre – a big consumer of electricity. RES-Chains made us understand that it will be a good long-term investment for shop owners. The owners shall replace a part of the electricity they buy from the grid with electricity from their own panels in the park. Shoppers could load their electrical car with energy form the park while shopping. It is a remarkable change from a contaminated land to a visionary emblem for Karlskrona

The course organized by the Generation BALT project has given me everything I hoped for, especially the skills needed to pursue a maritime career. I am now more confident that it will lead me to an employment. I already made contact to a certain number of companies and it looks very promising.

The ISO 26000 matrix that we received during the RespEN project helped us to discover the areas in the company that were particularly important for us and our company's stakeholders. We learned what issues should be discussed and they turned out to be important for the employees even though they hadn't expressed this previously. In this way, our company's efficiency will increase and so will employees satisfaction.
