WindEnergy@HSR
Wind energy is the fastest growing renewable energy source in the world and has correspondingly reached a high level of significance in the energy branch. We are the first University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland with a research programme specifically for wind energy - and we are engaged in exciting and demanding topics relevant to a digital, renewable future.
The Swiss Wind Energy R&D Network
Following the successful organisation of The First Swiss Wind Energy R&D Forum on May 15, 2019, we are in the process of founding The Swiss Wind Energy R&D Network. The network will coordinate new wind energy projects and initiatives in innovation, teaching and learning, ultimately aiming to foster excellence in Swiss wind energy R&D and to deliver Swiss quality in products and services for the international wind energy market.
