Our mission is to provide PhD students with an environment conducive to socialization, technical exchange, and peer networking within wind energy research in an informal and collaborative setting.
This year marks a significant milestone as the PhD Committee assumes a more active role within the European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE). At the most recent EAWE PhD seminar in Visby, Sweden, committee membership expanded to over 30 members from universities across Europe and the U.S., reflecting a broad spectrum of experience in three key dimensions: institutional affiliation, ethnic background, and research focus. While wind energy serves as the unifying field, the breadth of perspectives and expertise fosters a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach toward advancing the Wind Energy field.
The PhD Committee plays a crucial role in this effort by offering a welcoming space where students from varied backgrounds can collaborate and grow—both individually and as a collective. This commitment to collaboration and mutual development lies at the heart of EAWE’s vision for advancing wind energy research.
> Define the Committee’s organizational framework by articulating our mission and establishing measurable objectives
> Create and implement the Online Exchange Forum—an EAWE-hosted digital platform designed to support PhD researchers through resource sharing, technical discussions, and peer-to-peer assistance in wind energy research.
> Organize bi-annual expert panel discussions featuring wind energy professionals from academia and industry to share insights on transitioning from being a PhD student to career roles in their respective fields.
> Represent PhD students at Europe’s leading wind energy conferences WESC and TORQUE conferences.
> Buddy program to connect PhDs within Wind Energy.
