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
We also coordinate The Swiss Wind Energy R&D Network. We provide a platform to initiate and coordinate new collaborative wind energy projects in the areas of R&D, learning and teaching, ultimately aiming to foster excellence in Swiss wind energy R&D and to promote the export of Swiss know-how in products and services to the international wind energy market.
