What’s the Poul la Cour Award?<\/h3>\r\n

Named after wind power pioneer Poul la Cour, the Poul la Cour Award is a cooperative effort between WindEurope and the Poul la Cour Foundation<\/a>. Last awarded in 2021, the Poul la Cour Award is now to be a biennial award recognising the people who have made a unique contribution to wind power<\/strong> in Europe. See 2021 winner here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

This year, the Poul la Cour Award 2023 will be presented at the WindEurope Annual Event 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark (25 -27 April).<\/p>\r\n

Criteria for receiving the award<\/h3>\r\n

The prize is awarded to a person who, through his\/her work, has made a lasting improvement in developing and utilising wind power \u2013 inclusive of Power2X which is used in connection with wind power. It may be a technical innovation, a contribution to improving\/understanding the economics of wind power or contributing to improving wind power’s integration into society – both in terms of public acceptance of wind turbines as part of the landscape and technical integration into European energy systems.<\/p>\r\n

Candidates can cover a wide range of scientific disciplines. There is no requirement for a particular age group, level of education, academic achievement, or number of years engaged in the wind power sector. The most important criterion is that the person has made a unique and lasting contribution to the development and utilisation of wind power in Europe.<\/strong> Your nominee must be living and working within the EU27\/EEA.<\/p>\r\n
