The POWWOW project (Prediction of Waves, Wakes and Offshore Wind, a EU Coordination Action) aimed to develop synergy in the fields of wind and wave predictions from short to resource timescales by integrating modelling approaches currently used by the communities separately. The project aimed to help these research communities by establishing virtual laboratories, offering specialised workshops, and setting up expert groups with large outreach in the mentioned fields. In this paper, the main results of POWWOW are summarised.
