Introduction The MERiFIC Project
MERiFIC is an EU project linking Cornwall and Finistère through the ERDF INTERREG IVa
France (Manche) England programme. The project seeks to advance the adoption of
marine energy in Cornwall and Finistère, with particular focus on the island communities of
the Parc naturel marin d’Iroise and the Isles of Scilly. Project partners include Cornwall
Council, University of Exeter, University of Plymouth and Cornwall Marine Network from the
UK, and Conseil général du Finistère, Pôle Mer Bretagne, Technôpole Brest Iroise,
IFREMER and Bretagne Développement Innovation from France.
MERiFIC was launched on 13th September at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and
runs until June 2014. During this time, the partners aim to

Develop and share a common understanding of existing marine energy resource
assessment techniques and terminology;

Identify significant marine energy resource ‘hot spots’ across the common area,
focussing on the island communities of the Isles of Scilly and Parc Naturel Marin
d’Iroise;

Define infrastructure issues and requirements for the deployment of marine energy
technologies between island and mainland communities;

Identify, share and implement best practice policies to encourage and support the
deployment of marine renewables;

Identify best practice case studies and opportunities for businesses across the two
regions to participate in supply chains for the marine energy sector;

Share best practices and trial new methods of stakeholder engagement, in order to
secure wider understanding and acceptance of the marine renewables agenda;

Develop and deliver a range of case studies, tool kits and resources that will assist
other regions.
To facilitate this, the project is broken down into a series of work packages:
WP1: Project Preparation
WP2: Project Management
WP3: Technology Support
WP4: Policy Issues
WP5: Sustainable Economic Development
WP6: Stakeholder Engagement
WP7: Communication and Dissemination

Workshop results and discussion
All the presentations from the workshop are presented in annex 1. The main focus of the
first session was to present the skills area covered by the inventory and the related skills
gaps between the French and the English territories. Training courses were divided in two
categories:
‐
dedicated training to MRE,
‐
relevant training to MRE.
Note that the inventory perimeter for dedicated trainings was the entire national territory, as
the one for relevant trainings was basically limited to Brittany and Cornwall.
In the first instance, a total of 43 training dedicated and relevant courses were identified,
from which 19 were french and 24 english. The number of dedicated MRE training is 4 in
each country. The number of relevant trainings is 15 and 20 in Brittany and Cornwall,
respectively. This inventory is of course not exhaustive, but it gives an overview of what is
currently available to support MRE development. The training details are given in annex 2.
The tables 1 and 2 give an overview of the covered topics for both the dedicated and
relevant trainings

Similarly for relevant trainings, topics like (1) energy issues and (2) manufacturing appeared
to not be fully covered in Brittany, as well as electrical & electronics engineering in Cornwall.
However, after discussion, it seems that in Brittany, continuing education organisms such
as CNAM, CFAI provide some training about energy issues and especially on electronic
regulation and materials. Plymouth, Bristol and Exeter universities also provide electrical &
electronics engineering courses.
Thus, overall both regions and countries provide dedicated and relevant ‘academic’ training.
The absence of ‘professional’ training and continuing education within the inventory was
clearly highlighted as this kind of training seems to be important to support the development
of MRE. The main reason to explain this lack of kind of training within the inventory is that
related information was hard to find on the web (main information source to establish this
inventory). The same remark was formulated for ‘apprenticeship’ related to relevant training.
The workshop delegates also quickly highlight the fact that a ‘MRE specialisation’
represents often only a top layer of a ‘relevant or related’ background. For example, an
engineer in ‘electronics’ who wants to increase his skills portfolio might be able to follow a
dedicated training like a MRE specialized master. Basically, career in MRE is mainly focus
on science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). During the workshop, there was
then a consensus of opinion about the need to render relevant ‘STEM’ trainings more
attractive using both their potential access to ‘maritime’ and ‘MRE’ activities. This is
especially true for undergraduate and trainings or apprenticeship for jobs such as
boilermaker, welder etc…
In the above context, several initiatives are worth to be mentioned in Brittany. Indeed, the
CFCEM (European Maritime Training Center) provides adapted and customisable training
to support the offshore wind sector by providing the necessary maritime skills to onshore
wind technicians. The Chamber of Commerce from Brest (CCI) already provides some
relevant training for MRE. However, the CCI along with several other Brittany partners, are
currently setting up a dedicated ‘professional training’ about ‘installation and maintenance’
of MRE.
In United Kingdom, the Crown Estate and renewableUK support inititatives to address skills
shortages within the industry. Indeed, they recently launched (October 2011) a £1.2m
10
MERiFIC
Renewables Training Network, which aims to facilitate the transition of professionals into
the offshore wind industry from other sectors. They also made available bursaries for
postgraduates studying for a newly created MSc in Marine Renewable Energy as well as
plan to work with secondary schools to engage with pupils making their GS CE options
choices, with the aim of attracting the next generation of skilled employees into the offshore
wind sector. The crown estate also recently edited a brochure about ‘Your career in offshore
wind energy’. This is a very useful guide that contains all needed information about a
training and potential jobs career within the offshore wind industry. An illustration of this
guide is given below on picture 1.

MERiFIC
In term of existing and ongoing collaboration between France and UK, it is also woth to
mention two projects BEEMS and CAMIS. BEEMS stands for Building European
Environmental & Maritime Activity. This two year cross border project is funded through the
Interreg IVA France (Channel) England Programme. Commencing in September 2012, it
aims to stimulate the development and sustained growth of environmental and maritime
skills within the marine renewable energy industry (MRE), and to increase the sector’s
economic viability through enhanced cross border cooperation and joint working. CAMIS
(Channel Arc Manche Integrated Strategy) is a co-operation project, co-funded by the
Interreg IV A France (Channel) – England European programme. With a duration of 4 years
(2009 -2013) and bringing together 19 French and British partners, its aim is to develop and
promote the implementation of an integrated maritime strategy in the Channel area. CAMIS
also aims to develop concrete co-operation actions in fields such as workforce
development, innovation and maritime clusters, transport and maritime safety.
The industry implication issue has also been raised during the workshop discussion. Some
workshop delegates in charge of training indicate that the industry is not yet deeply involved
to orientate training topics for their need. One explanation is that the market is still emerging
and probably not enough mature to be able to request specific trainings. However, the
training providers (ie Lycée Vauban) want to anticipate these potential requests and be sure
that the teachers will be ready when the training will emerge.

Workshop results and discussion
The second session of the workshop was set up to be the most interactive as possible in
order to get the feedback and the needs from the delegates about the promotional strategy.
Thus, the Pole Mer Bretagne prepared a presentation that addressed the following items:
‐
The targeted audience,
‐
Messages to develop,
‐
Available tools,
‐
Implementation.
Regarding the targeted audience, the delegates rapidly agree that the primary audience
should be both engineering professionals (developers, operators) and students (including
engineering schools, universities through post/under –graduates and schools and maritime
academy/school). The secondary audience that may be reached could be the decision
makers such as regional councils or public organisations that are in charge of, or related to
education schemes. Corporations could also be an interesting audience to reach. The ideal
approach would be to develop single promotional tools that can simultaneously be valuable
for both the primary and the secondary audience. So both sides could benefit to be aware of
what is available and needed to support a strong skills base.
In term of messages to develop, the following suggestions were made by the delegates:
‐
‘sale the job’ in terms of ethic, exciting aspects, salary, international career,
evolution, innovation, technological aspects, leading edge technology …
‐
Talk ‘quantitatively’ about job numbers and opportunities
‐
Available regional skills (for professionals)
‐
Get a clear mapping of the available regional facilities
Regarding the tools, all the delegates unequivocally agreed that a website is the best way to
reach the primary and secondary audiences. However, the website content is of primary
importance. Even if this was out of scope of the workshop, some suggestions were made
about the content that should at least include imagery, testimonials, industry partnership,
courses information (and evaluation?), career path, event agenda… More importantly, this
website should be able to increase the dissemination of information through a relevant ‘link’
section. Moreover, the website should ideally be cited in existing (and more traditional) key
websites such as for UK whatuni.com, seavision.org.uk or for France
etudiantsdelamer.com, nadoz.org, onisep.fr …
Some other tools were also evoked:
‐
smart phone application
‐
newsletters
‐
events (student fair, MRE trade show…)
‐
knowledge transfer through academic and or professional exchanges
15
MERiFIC
‐
outreach activities (eg research fellow visiting schools)
Some other tools such as the ‘MEDIA’ or the ‘social networks (facebook, twitter or linkedln)
were also cited. About the media, this was clearly not a priority and it was decided that it
could come on a second step after the website creation. The use of the social networks as a
promotional tool did not seem to be of interest for the delegates.
The next issue that was discussed during this session was about who will be in charge of
implementing this promotional tools. The first thoughts and discussion led to designate
regional authorities (eg Cornwall Council for Cornwall and Région Bretagne for Brittany).
However, there was a clear demand to ensure that the industry should be deeply involve
during the whole creation website process as well as during its lifecycle (especially in term
of update). Therefore, maritime clusters such as Pole Mer Bretagne or Cornwall Marine
Network that bring together companies, academics and local/regional authorities (‘triple
helix’ approach) appear to be the ideal organizations to (at least) coordinate the
implementation of the first steps for the creation of promotional tools.

Conclusions
The first session of the workshop confirmed that both regions have training facilities to
support the development of MRE (see details in annex 1). On both side of the channel,
there are dedicated and relevant trainings that are mainly based on STEM education. These
trainings mostly cover similar topics (rather than complementary) in each country and
appeared to be appropriate to support a strong skills base for MRE. One can raise the
question of a shared training or student exchanges programme, as this initiative could be a
major opportunity to strengthen dedicated trainings and prepare to visit different countries
whilst studying. Another important aspect of the strong skills base is the continuing
education and the apprenticeship that was not properly captured during the inventory work.
These kinds of training are often not related and advertised to prepare to MRE. Therefore
their potential in building a strong skills base is somewhat under evaluated.
The second session of the workshop brought a view and some perspectives about how to
develop a strategy to promote and showcase the training facilities across the regions. In this
context, the primary audience to target is constituted of professionals (developers,
operators) and students at large. The workshop discussion also highlighted the fact that the
industry key players as well as decision makers and local/regional authorities should be
involved. A dedicated website has been unequivocally chosen to be the main promotional
tool and the best way to reach the targeted audience. The website content needs to be
defined even if the discussion already brought some ideas. Other tools such as newsletter,
event participation or outreach activities were also mentioned during the workshop. Finally,
regional clusters, that bring together industry, academics and authorities, appear to be the
most appropriate organisation to implement the promotional development strategy.

Perspective
Regarding the workshop’s discussion and the development of tools to promote training
schemes for the development of MRE in our regions, here is briefly the main content that
will feed a future dedicated document:
- audience target: MRE profesionals (corporation, body, union), high schools,
universities and consular chambers
- messages: job (green, innovative, technologic, maritime, ‘exciting’, international)
and related training
- tool: website that includes available trainings, a job portfolio, career path, event
agenda, links (about the training schemes and their provider)
- Tool implementation: website designer, search engine optimisation, body in
charge…

EU vision of Emerging Skills
Marine Energy in Far Peripheral
and Island Communities
Development of a
strong skills base to
support the
emerging MRE
industry
•
The past 25 years has seen major economic transformations in Europe and
in the United States. The economies of Europe and the USA have to a large
extent gone through similar changes.
•
Whereas the EU and the USA previously relied on the dominance of agriculture,
fishery and manufacturing, the economies in both the USA and in Europe have
become much more service intensive, enabled not least by the penetration of ICT
and environmental issues.
•
In January, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown revealed plans to create at least
100,000 UK jobs as part of a public works scheme to ease unemployment during
the recession. A crucial part of this plan is investment in alternative energy
sources and green technology, creating 'green jobs' in wind and wave
power. US President Barack Obama has also planned a multi-billion-dollar Green
New Deal, but, relative to the size of Britain's economy, Brown’s New Deal is
actually even bigger.

could take the tally to nearly 70,000 by 2020.”

European Union-wide action to increase the use of renewable energy, the UK has
committed to sourcing 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020 – an
increase in the share of renewables by almost a factor of seven from about 2.25% in
2008, in scarcely more than a decade.

• The industry holds huge long-term potential,
and the UK needs to capitalise on its lead in
technology R&D to bring forward significant
socioeconomic benefits. According to the Carbon

Skills Quickly / Risks of failure
•
Action Plan
Should the sector develop as rapidly as we
anticipate, recruitment problems and skills shortages
could become even more manifest if urgent action is
not taken now to address the supply of skills to the
sector. It is essential that the skills system deliver the
right skills at the right time. Failure to act in this area
now could permanently damage the prospects for UK
renewable energy employment growth for years to
come.
The Importance of these MREs Skills
1. Policy makers and the providers of learning need continued
robust labour market intelligence, stating how workforce
requirements will develop over time, on which to base their
plans. This has to come direct from employers and drawn
together into an industry-wide picture of what skills will be
required, by when.
2. Employers and the providers of learning need to collaborate
more in order to ensure that the outputs of learning (i.e.
skills) are in line with employers’ needs.
3. Government needs to ensure that the UK’s skills system is
flexible enough accommodate the needs of a very rapidly
changing industry, this including a funding regime that is
flexible enough to meet the needs of all employers.
4. All parties need to collaborate to identify and promote the
career opportunities and pathways that are available within
the industry to young people and mature entrants alike.
•
•
•
If insufficient skills are available from within the UK labour
market, the sector, if it is to meet its installed capacity
targets, may have to resort to Europe to supply essential
goods and services (for example, the “offshoring” of design
and manufacturing jobs to European competitors).
Similarly, European contractors could be brought in to install,
operate and maintain UK facilities.
This will be expensive for the sector and ultimately for
consumers. This outcome would see the UK fail to secure the
domestic socioeconomic benefits that the sector has to offer
