This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $448,041 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to foster international collaborations and prepare the next generation of the U.S. workforce in the fields of offshore wind energy and ocean wave energy. The project annually selects 8 U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to engage in immersive research experiences at leading European institutions, enabling them to gain valuable skills, knowledge, and connections in sustainable energy technologies. This international collaboration aims to push the boundaries of current renewable energy solutions, stimulate creativity, and contribute to the global transition towards sustainable energy systems. The award also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, involving students from varied backgrounds and underrepresented groups to build a more diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce.
