Therefore, GL Wind is involved in research supported by measurements leading to the establishment of design rules. This is done in close co-operation with national and international agencies and is partly funded by the Federal and State Ministries in Germany and the European Union.

Research Projects

GL Wind has co-operated in a number of national and international joint research projects. The following list contains those projects for which currently work is being carried out.

German Projects

• Research Platforms in North and Baltic Sea (FINO)
• Research Project No. P633
• Research Project “IMO-Wind”
• Research Project “GROW” (GROW)
  

European Projects

• Recommendations for Design of Offshore Wind Turbines (RECOFF) 
• Reliable Optimal Use of Materials for Wind Turbine Rotor Blades (OPTIMAT BLADES)
• Reduction of Ship Collision Risks for Offshore Wind Farms (SAFESHIP) 
• DOWNVInD
  Distant Offshore Windfarms with No Visual Impact in Deepwater
