IEAWIND

A summary of international collaboration on wind energy R&D tasks

This event consisted of three sessions that gave an overview on the international research collaboration tasks ongoing at the International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreement on Wind Energy. Each task involves collaboartion from 8-15 countries working on different topics on wind energy.
