Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award Committee

The EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award Committee is responsible for selecting the recipient of the EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award, which is presented annually to an outstanding PhD graduate in the field of wind energy. The award recognizes exceptional doctoral dissertations that demonstrate a clear impact on the advancement of wind energy technologies and contribute to the future development of the industry.

Background and vision

Recognizing excellence

The EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award was created to celebrate the achievements of young researchers who have made significant contributions to wind energy through their doctoral research. Since its establishment, the award has served to highlight the importance of innovative research by emerging scientists, fostering the development of future leaders in wind energy technology and research.

The award is given once a year, providing an opportunity to recognize and honor the achievements of young researchers who have demonstrated excellence in their PhD research and whose work has the potential to shape the future of wind energy. By supporting and celebrating the next generation of wind energy scientists, this award encourages continued progress in this critical field.

Objective

The EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award Committee aims to select the most deserving recipient based on the following criteria:

  • Innovative and Impactful Research: The committee looks for doctoral dissertations that present novel ideas, methods, or solutions to key challenges in the wind energy field. The research should demonstrate clear potential for advancing wind power technologies and their practical implementation.
  • Relevance to the Advancement of Wind Energy: The award recognizes work that directly contributes to improving wind energy systems, whether through innovations in aerodynamics, control systems, materials, grid integration, or other key areas.
  • Long-term Impact on Wind Power Technologies: The research should show clear potential to influence the future development and implementation of wind energy solutions on a global scale.

Award Presentation and Special Opportunities

The EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award is presented once a year at the Gala Dinner during either the WESC (Wind Energy Science Conference) or Torque conference, which brings together leading experts and professionals from the global wind energy community. The award ceremony provides an opportunity for the winner to be celebrated for their exceptional contributions to wind energy research.

In addition to receiving the award, the winner is invited by EAWE to the next EAWE PhD Seminar, where they are given the opportunity to present their research to the wider wind energy academic and professional community. This prestigious invitation offers young researchers an invaluable platform to share their work and engage with peers and mentors, further fostering their career in the wind energy field.

Composition of the Committee

The EAWE Excellent Young Wind Doctor Award Committee is composed of leading experts in wind energy, who bring extensive knowledge and experience to the selection process. These committee members are dedicated to ensuring the recognition of outstanding young scientists whose doctoral research has the potential to transform the future of wind energy.
