On July 4, 2025, the Port and Airport Research Institute (PARI) and the International Press-in Association (IPA) co-hosted an academic and research seminar entitled “Challenges and Considerations in Offshore Wind Power Facility Development.”

This seminar brought together researchers and practitioners from Japan and abroad to discuss the latest research, practical issues, and prospects for applying press-in piling technologies in offshore wind development. A second part of the program included a site tour of PARI’s research facilities, where participants observed experimental facilities and ongoing research activities, fostering active dialogue.

A total of 591 participants from 12 countries attended the seminar both in person and online, serving as a valuable platform for international knowledge exchange and professional collaboration.
