Wind energy thematic network

Objective

This a proposal to establish a Wind Energy Thematic Network coordinated by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA, with the overall aim of ensuring that EU funded Wind Energy R&D meets the needs of the European wind industry to maintain and increase its' competitiveness in EU and external markets, and to develop to meet European Commission and national targets for renewable energy use.

The proposed network provides the opportunity for the wind energy sector to contribute fully to the European Research Area, by allowing better coordination of EC and Member State wind energy R&D, promoting a common industry view on R&D needs, coordination of industry inputs to R&D and policy discussions, bringing together information required to track and make decisions on R&D issues and providing rapid access to this information for the Commission.
