PolyU establishes joint research centre to drive development of offshore wind power technology

PolyU and Yangjiang Offshore Wind Energy Laboratory (the Laboratory) signed an agreement on 26 March 2024 to establish the PolyU–Yangjiang Laboratory Joint Research Centre for Offshore Wind Power (JRC). The JRC will be operated and managed jointly by the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) and the Laboratory, signifying an increasingly close research collaboration between the two organisations in offshore wind power technology.

Under the new partnership, PolyU and Yangjiang researchers will share resources and laboratory facilities, and join forces in research projects on new technologies and materials for offshore wind power applications, as well as translating the research outcomes into practical solutions for industry.
