University of Florence
The University of Florence Coordinates FAMOS and leads the work on the development of conceptual design of a very large floating breakwater technology capable of protecting fully exposed offshore marine areas in deep waters. The breakwater must ensure hydraulic and structural performance, limiting wave transmission to acceptable levels for the floating systems within the protected area and withstanding extreme wave loads.

UIA’s task is to develop the conceptual design of innovative floating island that can withstand extreme wave conditions typical of fully exposed offshore sites of the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea and the adaptation to offshore sites.

UCY’s tasks are the assessment of environmental resources, site identification and climate change impact, including through the study of 50 years of metocean data between 1970 and 2020.
UCY will also undertake evaluation and validation of satellite and numerical datasets with in situ data.

UJ will work on social impact assessment of floating islands, drawing the imaginaries of the desirable future using virtual reality to engage stakeholders and let them walk the project and imagine how this can be beneficial for them. The goal is to push the audience to co-create, rather than just accept what is proposed.
An immersive virtual environment is created to provide the public with a realistic experience of the floating system.
