WindForS 2019 Spring Meeting
26 February 2019 - 28 February 2019
Meeting theme
“WindForS bewegt”: WindForS members are at the forefront of many different technologies and applications. This meeting will allow you to get to know each other and see what work is being done in WindForS projects and elsewhere.
Why Take Part?
Find out what WindForS members are up to, find solutions to the challenges you face, share ideas for new research, and enjoy the winter sun in Garmisch-Partenkirchen!
An unconference
This meeting is an “unconference”, driven by you. This means that you get to decide what you want to talk about and what you want to achieve. To help make this happen we’ll have a bit of structure, but the choice of topics for the breakout sessions is with you.
So, whatever you want to discuss can be discussed. Let’s say you have a challenge in your project or Ph.D. that you’d like to talk about: raise your hand and find people with similar problems or ideas, and use the time to work on what’s important to you. There will be lots of opportunities to propose ideas.
Outline
The meeting will take place over three days. The first two days (26.2 and 27.2) will be structured around themes that are important for wind energy and other scientific and engineering disciplines:
- Design and Optimization. How do we design and optimize wind plants and other complex systems, and how are we working towards improving ideas, methods, or technologies?
- Integration. How do we connect what we are developing with other technologies, groups, or applications?
- Acceptance and stakeholder engagement. How do we help communities of all types become comfortable with new ideas?
- Teaching and training. How do we transfer our experience to students, and professionals?
Presentations and Posters
Contributions are welcome from all WindForS members on any relevant topic including research, teaching, and stakeholder engagement. It doesn’t have to be wind energy related. Feel free to bring along an old poster, too; there’s no need for something new!
Please contact Andy Clifton (clifton@windfors.de) if you’d like to discuss an idea for a presentation or poster.
