INESC TEC researcher joins the European platform TPWind
Ricardo Bessa
The aim with this platform is to promote and define new R&D lines related to national and European policies, as well as new technology for the wind power sector. This is also an opportunity to promote an informal collaborations between the Member-States, including those countries which are not as developed in terms of wind power. The TPWind includes partners from industrial organisations, governments, civil society organisations, R&D and financial institutions in the wind power sector.
The main goal is to identify the areas with largest potential for innovation, define new R&D tasks at a European level and identify priority lines. The platform will develop coherent recommendations, outlining the specific tasks, approaches, participants and infrastructure required, in the context of R&D in industry, and of the European Union within the Horizon 2020 framework programme. This European platform will also evaluate the global public and private funding available to pursue these tasks.
