DONG Energy Solar Challenge at Event Groen

DONG Energy Solar Challenge at Event Groen

From 23 until 26 February the DONG Energy Solar Challenge takes part in ‘Event Groen’ (Event Green) with a couple of solar boats. Especially for participants, sponsors and generally interested the DSC organizes, on 23 February, a Solar meeting at Event Groen. Focus will be on participants for the years 2012 and 2014.

Willem Maat took part in two solar races. First as contestant with a solar boat from the ROC Friese Poort from Sneek and two years later as team member of the Windesheim university in Zwolle. At the 23 February meeting he will be telling about his experiences. Project manager Jeroen Veenema of the Kenniscentrum Jachtbouw will talk about team performances during the DSC and head Technical Comity Joris Melkert explains all about the technical and innovative side of the solar boat races.

Event Groen is a sustainable event in Leeuwarden. Sustainability in the broadest sense of the word. Because with nine different thematic area’s it is more than just sustainable energy. There’s a sustainable experience in every area, from sustainable food, to sustainable energy and durable recreation. The DONG Energy Solar Challenge and its solar boats are located in the ‘mobility area’ for four whole days.
