Call for Abstracts
Submission deadline – 24 January 2025
Are you eager to present your work and connect with your peers in Istanbul at the WindEurope Technology Workshop in 2025? We are calling for abstracts on Resource Assessment & Analysis of Operating Wind Farms to shape the programme of this edition.
Timeline
The deadline to submit your abstract is Friday, 24 January 2025 (portal closes at 23:55 CET). The outcome of the call for abstracts will be communicated in early March 2025.
General requirements – for all topics
- Innovative content: abstracts should contain new work, not yet published.
- No commercial content please: overtly commercial abstracts will be rejected.
- Contribution to industry knowledge: abstracts should strive to present data or results that can contribute to bringing the industry forward.
- The correct topic should be selected to ensure correct scoring. The content of the abstract must be topic related. It is the responsibility of the submitter to ensure that abstracts are submitted under the correct topic. The programme committee is aware that some of the topics might overlap with one and another, it will be taken into account when reviewing and during the build-up of the programme. In the meantime, please select the category that would be closer to your abstract.
- 500 words maximum per abstract

Abstract selection process
All abstracts will be anonymously peer-reviewed by a minimum of three experts of the field, providing for each abstract assigned to them:
- A numerical grade (0-5)
- A recommended presentation method
- A comment on the abstract
After the review is completed, the Programme Committee members receive the overview of all scored abstracts. Based on the scores and the reviewers’ comments, the programme committee will draft session proposals and select which abstracts are eligible for an oral presentation in a session and which are eligible to produce a poster. These proposals are the base to determine the programme for the event.
For abstracts selected for either an oral presentation, WindEurope is happy to offer the listed speaker the option to register with either a complimentary 1-day conference pass, or a discounted 2-day event pass.
Copyrights
By submitting an abstract to the WindEurope Technology Workshop 2025, and if your abstract is selected for a speaking slot or a poster, you implicitly give your permission to WindEurope asbl/vzw to reproduce your presentation file and/or poster file in the conference proceedings of the event. However, this does not forfeit your right to publish your presentation file and/or poster file in any other medium, nor does WindEurope retain any exclusive rights over it.
