Events

For the past four years we have organized the IRP Wind Conference. This was part of the IRP Wind project, which finished on 30^th of April 2018. The EERA JP Wind Management Board and Steering Committee has decided to continue the conference under the flag of EERA and therefore we would like to invite you for the JP Wind Conference. This conference will take place on the 17^th (afternoon) and 18^th (whole day) of September 2018 in Amsterdam. Participation is open for registered/paying participants.
