WindEnergy@OST
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.
EU Green Deal call 2020
We are looking to contribute to consortia for the topic "Innovative land-based and offshore renewable energy technologies and their integration into the energy system" of the EU Green Deal Call 2020 on the following topics:
1. Autonomous pressure and acoustic measurement system for wind turbine blades.
2. Offshore renewable energy collaboration and data platform.
3. Development and test of bio-materials for wind turbine blades.
Please download our one-pagers for each of these contributions below!
