PAVING THE WAVES - WCFS 2020

Wonderful final presentation of Day 3 by @UCBerkeley #KristinaHill about Pond Urbanism: Floating urban districts on shallow coastal groundwater @WCFS2020 Integration of building technology, landscape architecture, water management, ecology and climate adaptation

End of the day session for this last day of "Paving the Waves"- This has been a great experience for sharing knowledge on floating solution. Many thanks to all our Chairs, Speakers, Guests and Organizing Committee who made this possible.

Group discussion @WCFS2020 with Olaf Waals of @MARIN_nieuws about @SpaceAtSea , #FloatingFuture, Thinktank floating cities bluerevolution.org/english/ and a new National Research Program on Floating Cities nioz.nl/en/blauwe-rout… "Collaboration is key"

Very honoured to have Jerry Buckwalter of @ASCETweets as keynote speaker at the @WCFS2020 to speak about Floating City and Future World Vision projects. Jerry shared with us lessons for young engineers to think long term, expand their horizon and work with other disciplines.

Great presentation by Rui Lima @INDYMO2015 'effects of floating infrastructure on #waterquality' at @WCFS2020 Find blue revolution inspiration @Climate_Scan climatescan.org. Cant wait for new projects with @hanze @SaxionUAS @GroenLeven @deltares @Blue21Float and partners!

Pitches on innovative floating community and applications at the presentation pitch sessions @WCFS2020 chaired by David Kirkwood. Contributions include: @tudelftglobal @FinchFloating @FlexBaseBV @PolitechnikaGda @PW_edu

Food production is the #1 space use on the planet. Are there any floating alternatives? Floating food session @WCFS2020 chaired by Barbara Dal Bo Zanon. Interesting contributions about aqua culture #Havfarm,floating rice fields and multi-use floating islands.

Interesting presentations in the second Hydrodynamics and Engineering session @WCFS2020 speakers from @tudelft @BoskalisNL @summum_eng @SINTEF @BTU_CS

Comprehensive and important key-note @WCFS2020 by Paul Holthus president of the @OceanCouncil Overview of the ocean economy, marine spatial planning, ocean investments, social licence and many other essential topics for our emerging floating structures and solutions community.

Thank you @PaulHolthus, CEO of @OceanCouncil for you speech as Key-note of our conference!

We have started! Opening key-note by @koenolthuis @WaterstudioNL for @WCFS2020 "Paving the Waves- Pushing the Boundaries"

Great opening for the 3rd day of this Ptw Conference! Chairing @KarinaDeltasync and @degraaf_e! Let's keep paving the waves!

Thanks to our speakers and chairs, the first 2 days of the conference have been a big success with many lively discussions. The 2nd day was concluded with the final discussion of the 3-year Horizon2020 research project, @SpaceAtSea .

Inspiring final #h2020 @SpaceAtSea project results presentations on modular floating platforms incl transport&logistics hub, followed by lively panel discussion @WCFS2020 online. @MARIN_nieuws @KarinaDeltasync @Blue21Float @mflikkema @tudelft3mE

Paving the Waves, the 3-day online World Conference on Floating Solutions starts today in Rotterdam, home of #floating #innovations and solutions that find their way across the world. bit.ly/30DHWSy @WCFS2020 Photo: Evides Solarpark. #futureindustry #floatingsolutions

Afternoon @SpaceAtSea session @WCFS2020 Presentation @KarinaDeltasync @Blue21Float about Living at Sea. From Dream to Reality.

We have started the afternoon session @WCFS2020 @mflikkema presenting the results of 3 years of #h2020 research @SpaceAtSea with 26 European partners on affordable multi-use offshore platforms.

Closing of morning session Day 2 @WCFS2020 Day chair Koen Olthuis @WaterstudioNL integrating everything together with session chairs of varying topics of Architecture & Visionary Projects, Floating Energy and Hydrodynamics. Important to build awareness and involve investors.

Very unique live demonstrator of the #h2020 project @SpaceAtSea Floating city offshore scale models in the wave basin of @MARIN_nieuws by William Otto @WCFS2020 . This has never been done before anywhere in the world. Showing the building blocks for our floating future.

We are very happy to see so many great expert speakers on floating at @WCFS2020 and to be supporting with the backstage/behind the scenes of this amazing conference!
