We&rsquo;re all making plans for next year, and there&rsquo;s one thing that should definitely be on your agenda: WindEurope&rsquo;s Annual Event 2027, which will take place in Copenhagen from 20-22 April. Eager to present your work, meet your peers and help advance the wind energy sector?<\/p>\r\n            <p>We are calling for abstracts on technologies, concepts, research, ideas, and solutions that will help boost Europe&rsquo;s energy security and speed up the transition to a renewables-based, electrified energy system.<\/p>\r\n            <p><strong>The deadline to submit an abstract is 4 September 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- <p>Many thanks to the xxx+ submitters who took part!<\/p> -->\r\n            <hr>\r\n            <h3>What is the scope?<\/h3>\r\n            <p>WindEurope Annual Event 2027 is your annual wind energy conference and exhibition, so we will of course cover all aspects of <strong>onshore and offshore<\/strong> wind technology, from <strong>designing turbines<\/strong> and <strong>planning wind farms<\/strong> to <strong>operations<\/strong>, all the way to <strong>decommissioning and recycling<\/strong>. We will also keep the focus on how wind can support and drive the <strong>electrification of the wider economy<\/strong>. Of particular interest will be contributions on <strong>how we can accelerate the scale-up<\/strong>, <strong>automate both manufacturing and operations<\/strong> and also how we can better understand <strong>fatigue and faults in larger turbines<\/strong>, so we can prevent them.<\/p>\r\n            <h3>What kind of contributions are we looking for?<\/h3>\r\n            <p>We are looking for&nbsp;<strong>concrete examples<\/strong>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<strong>already<\/strong>\u2013<strong>implemented operational solutions<\/strong>, experience, and feedback from the field, including&nbsp;<strong>real-world data<\/strong>, as well as&nbsp;<strong>innovative research, concepts and ideas that can bring the sector forward.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n            <p>Submitted abstracts should be related to the technical themes of the conference \u2013 as listed below. Scientific contributions should focus on applied research with a higher TRL (4 or above). <strong>Commercial submissions will be rejected <a href=\"#comm_content\">(1)<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\r\n            <p>Additionally, WindEurope believes that women can break the glass-ceiling in the wind energy industry. We therefore would like to encourage as many women as possible to submit their work for presentation through our call for abstracts.<\/p>\r\n            <p>We\u2019re keen to hear from a wide range of voices \u2013 if you are working on interesting wind-related projects and issues, in academia, the wind industry, or other sectors interacting with wind, this is your chance to share them with the wider wind community!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Scientific content<\/h3>\r\n<p>Science and research content at our events is organised in the cooperation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/eawe.eu\" target=\"_blank\">European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE)<\/a>, a world-leading wind energy academic &#038; research community. The Academy brings delegates leading edge wind energy research results, keeping Europe at the forefront of wind energy innovation. The offers a forum for in-depth presentations and discussions on progress and results of wind-energy related scientific research.<\/p>\r\n<p>Abstract submitters will have the possibility to apply for the publication of a scientific paper which will be peer-reviewed by the EAWE and published in a dedicated volume of the open-access <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/journal\/1742-6596\" target=\"_blank\">IOP Journal of Physics: Conference Series<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n            <h3>Important dates<\/h3>\r\n            <ul>\r\n                <li>Deadline for abstracts: <strong>4 September 2026<\/strong><\/li>\r\n                <li>Review of abstracts: mid-September &#8211; mid-October 2026<\/li>\r\n                <li>Notification of selection: by early December 2026<\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"col-md\" id=\"submit\">\r\n            <div class=\"cfa-box\">\r\n                <h3>Click on the button below to get more information and submit your abstract<\/h3>\r\n                <p style=\"margin-bottom:2em\"><a href=\".\/guidelines-for-abstract-submission\/\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To the submission platform<\/a><br>\r\n                    <!-- a href=\".\/science-and-research-track\/\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Science &amp; Research Track*<\/a --><\/p>\r\n                <!-- p><em>*Selecting this track offers you the possibility to have your work published in the IOP Journal of Physics (pending scientific committee approval)<\/em>.<\/p -->\r\n            <\/div>  \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <hr>\r\n    <h2 id=\"topics\">Click on the tabs below to see the different lists of topics<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<div><p>Please note that the list of subtopics is <strong>indicative and non-exhaustive<\/strong>.
