Floating Islands for a Sustainable Future

FAMOS aims to develop a sustainable, reliable and socially acceptable conceptual design of modular floating islands for the creation of multifunctional sea areas in deep water and fully exposed conditions. During the Project, floating islands will be designed, protected by large breakwaters, and linked together to form an autonomous archipelago in terms of energy and food needs. Electricity generation will be climate-neutral and sustainable because it will be obtained exclusively from renewable sources, such as wind and photovoltaic power plants hosted on dedicated islands that are integrated with each other. The project will involve future users in the design, who through a visualization with virtual reality will have the opportunity to walk on the islands envisioned by the researchers to provide impressions and suggestions.
