Wind Energy Masterclass - Free for OWI-Lab Academy registrations

Are you a PhD researcher at a Belgian knowledge institute working on any type of offshore wind research? And would you like to get a 'crash course' in thé offshore wind essentials, all in one day? Then this masterclass is for you!

This programme, organised by Sirris, equips emerging engineers with essential offshore wind knowledge and supports offshore professionals seeking a clear technical understanding of offshore projects.

During this '1-day ramp-up course', participants receive a helicopter view of offshore wind energy, including topics such as wind resources and rotor blade design, key electromechanical components, offshore foundations and structural systems, geotechnics and soil structure. The day is wrapped up with an overview of tech developments and market trends in the rapidly evolving market of offshore wind.

This masterclass will help you:

• A clear understanding of how offshore wind turbines function, from wind resources and aerodynamics to foundations, rotor blades, electromechanical systems, geotechnics and structural behaviour.

• Insight into the components, interfaces and design choices that determine performance, reliability and risk throughout the project lifecycle, and why these aspects often appear in specifications and contracts.

• An up-to-date view of relevant innovations and market developments, helping participants look beyond the basics and anticipate future challenges in offshore wind projects.

And the best part? Any PhD registering via the OWI-Lab Academy can participate for free! In the comment field of your registration, please put 'OWI-Lab Academy registration'. Proof of your researcher status might be asked before your registration is made final.
