On 19 February 2025, @cinea_EU will host a clustering event in Brussels, organised by its Horizon Europe Energy department.
Bringing together 33 wind energy projects, the event will be a key platform to discuss the sector’s future and its role in achieving #climateneutrality.
Our project will be actively represented, alongside its sister projects ICONIC, TWAIN, and WILLOW, further strengthening cooperation across multiple Horizon Europe initiatives.
