PhairywinD

The offshore wind beneath the wings of young researchers turning the blades of the Belgian offshore wind sector.

 

The main object of PhairywinD is to establish a close community of 9 PhD researchers from different Belgian knowledge institutes in order to tackle the current and future challenges of the Belgian offshore wind energy sector.
These nine researchers all study their own dedicated subjects ranging from legal issues to design optimisation and wind-wave prediction for vessel operations to highspectral imaging for nondestructive testing and improved meteorology, and much more.
What sets this multi-disciplinary and intersectoral training and research project apart is its connectivity: connecting nine Belgian knowledge institutions on the topic of offshore wind on the one hand, and linking key industrial players with Belgian research partners on the other hand.
This way, once the new Belgian offshore wind zones are underway, Belgian academic support, knowledge and input will be guaranteed.
