TORQUE 2010 The Science of Making Torque from Wind
June 28-30, 2010; Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Announcement
The European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE) is pleased to announce its Wind Energy Conference for 2010. This is the 3rd conference
of this kind organized by EAWE, since the 1st in Deft, Netherlands organized by TUDelft and the 2nd in Lyngby, Denmark organized
by DTU.
TORQUE 2010 aims at providing a comprehensive survey of the state of art in the field of Wind Energy and provide the opportunity
to scientists and engineers from industry, research establishments and universities to present their new results, to exchange ideas
and experience, and discuss directions of future research towards the long term objective of making Wind Energy the 1st choice for
future energy plants.
TORQUE 2010 will cover all aspects related to making torque from wind, starting from basic research topics and going up to examples
of applications on engineering problems. Also of particular interest is experimental work supporting and complementing the progress
of theory and simulations at all levels. Therefore it is addressed to all members of the scientific wind energy community from the
academic and industrial sector.

EAWE summer School from 17-19 May 2010 in Pamplona,
Spain hosted by CENER
We cordially invite you to participate at the EAWE Summer School
from 17-19 May 2010 in Pamplona, Spain, hosted by CENER. The
EAWE has organized this Summer School for all PhD researchers on
wind energy related topics in their first years. Most PhD researchers
specialize in a particular area, without having time and opportunity
to take care of the interdisciplinary aspects of their topic. To facilitate
this, the Summer School offers introductory courses on almost
all aspects of wind energy, with the objective to provide the researchers
a general background on wind energy. This Summer School is organized
together with the Marie Curie ITN project Wind Resource Assessment
Audit and Standardization (WAUDIT). The WAUDIT part of the school
specializes on aspects of meteorology and wind resource
assessment. The EAWE part is open for all PhD researchers, the
WAUDIT part is for the PhD’s in this project. If you are a PhD researcher
on this topic but outside WAUDIT, and you are interested to
attend this part too, you can contact the WAUDIT coordinator, Javier
Sanz Rodrigo, jsrodrigo@cener.com.

of England.
Durham is a World Heritage site and has a number of notable beautiful
landmarks, including a Cathedral (completed AD 1092) and a Norman Castle
constructed by William the Conqueror, which is now the centre of the
University. The College and School are within short walking distance of
the centre of the city. Durham has good access from Europe via Newcastle
and Durham Tees Valley Airports, which are within 20 km of the city.
The Seminar will provide an opportunity for PhD Students from all over
Europe to exchange information and experiences on wind energy, to meet
new people and make new connections.
The format and the financial arrangements for the Seminar will be as for
previous Seminars, which will be free to attendees, but they will be
asked to pay for their accommodation, which will be provided at
competitive rates in the College of the University. At the end of the
Seminar an excursion will be made to the New & Renewable Energy Centre
(NaREC) at Blyth, Northumberland, 40 km away, to view their wind turbine
blade, electrical and wave testing facilities.

Udine, Italy, 14th - 18th September, 2009
EAWE-member Prof. Peter Schaumann, head of the Institute for Steel Construction, Leibniz Universität Hannover, announces the course "Environmental Wind Engineering and Wind Energy Structures" of the International Centre For Mechanical Sciences CISM. This course will take place from 14th to 18th September 2009 at CISM in Udine, Italy.
This advanced professional training course addresses the positive and negative effects of wind on buildings and the urban environment and the design of wind energy structures. The design of wind energy structures requires special reliability assessment. Experimental and computational approaches will be presented and case studies will be analyzed in order to make the participants familiar with the uncertainties involved and the design methodologies currently available. This course will be of interest to doctoral students, junior and senior researchers, practicing engineers, architects and other design professionals, who work on relevant scientific research or design topics in research centers, universities, industry and government agencies. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft supports financially those German post-graduate students and early-stage-researchers for participation in this training course.
