Welcome to our website. We are proud to present information, news and events about the Energising deltas project in a short and simple way. At www.energisingdeltas.com you will find information about upcoming interesting meetings and about the role Energising deltas is playing in the Netherlands and the head start it will give the Dutch trading industry on the world market. Energising deltas officially started in February 2013. Its partners Deltares, ECN, Energy Valley, Erasmus University Rotterdam, REDstack, Strukton, Tidal Testing Centre and Tocardo are working together to develop tools and models and to stimulate collaboration. Plans for communication and dissemination (website and branding) were developed after the first kick off meeting for the partners in Haarlem on 18 April 2013 . ‘Imago’ made the design and built the website. The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Opportunities for West. In addition, the Province of North-Holland is co-financing Energising deltas.
