As offshore wind development accelerates in the North Sea, new electricity cables are increasingly required to connect offshore farms to land – often crossing the Wadden Sea.

In the beginning of May, the midterm meeting of the German-Dutch Wadden Sea Research Programme in Wilhelmshaven provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the scientific progress of the six funded Projects and share knowledge and utilisation products.

Held online on 3 March 2026, the meeting provided an opportunity to present the overall aims and approach of the project.

This international programme invites Bachelor’s and Master’s students to explore how sea level rise is reshaping the ecological and cultural values of the Wadden Sea.
