TETHYS

TETHYS is a Horizon Europe Twinning project aiming to establish the University of Cyprus as a regional centre of excellence in floating offshore wind turbines and green hydrogen systems. Through strategic collaboration with leading European research institutions and industry partners, the project strengthens UCY’s research capacity by promoting knowledge transfer, staff exchanges, advanced training, joint research activities, and international networking. TETHYS focuses on the multidisciplinary integration of offshore renewable energy technologies, encompassing floating wind turbine dynamics, offshore hydrodynamics, structural integrity, atmospheric and marine environmental conditions, hydrogen production, and energy system optimisation. The project supports the development of research excellence, enhances international visibility, and creates long-term collaborations that contribute to Europe’s Green Deal objectives and the clean energy transition. By investing in early-career researchers, advanced computational tools, experimental methodologies, and stakeholder engagement, TETHYS aims to position Cyprus as an emerging hub for offshore renewable energy research in the Eastern Mediterranean.
