OFFREN Summer school 2025

And again we are back in Caen at 'Builders for Society' for the OFFREN summer school 2025. Another project in which the focus was again on the design of an offshore wind farm and an offshore salmon farm. Students were again supervised in a similar way than during the previous summer schools in 2023 and 2024. The number of students was slightly higher this year and for the first time we were working with 8 students per group, allowing us to go to a little more detail in some areas since there were more students than in the previous years. The extra challenge this year: students were marked not only as a group, but also individually.

Over the 4 weeks of the summer school, the students  worked in groups and again each of them in a certain role (e.g. project manager, wind farm engineer, supply chain manager, etc.). They listened to lectures, planned and conducted hydraulic model tests (fish farm design), and provided their results in final reports and presentations. And again, all students showed large enthusiasm and were able to deliver excellent results in all fields of the task assignments.

justASK! has again been there at the beginning and the end of the summer school. In the beginning, we guided the students to understand and kick off their projects and provided lectures, at the end we assisted the evaluation of the groups and the individual students. In between we supervised the groups in individual sections at the beginning of each week to evaluate how far the work has come and what the next steps would be.

justASK! wishes all the students all the best for their future careers, hopefully in one of the rewarding sectors of renewables and offshore aquaculture.

justASK! has a long-standing experience in lectures and summer schools. We can assist you in developing a summer school over several days or several weeks. We will suggest the modules for teaching, for practical work, for excursions, and for the assessment of the participants at the end. Together with our clients we can also look into the modules and specify them in more detail. If the topic of the summer school is within our expertise, we can also perform some of the modules.

We can also help with the management of the courses and/or providing the right management tools for it. And as said before, if there is any contents of any module which we can contribute to, we are more than happy to do so! JUST ASK!
