Since 2014, EERA JP Wind has been organising yearly events in Amsterdam. The 2022 edition of the EERA JP Wind was organized as a physical event, from September 19th to the 21st. It consisted of 3 days of Conference, with workshops, presentations and discussions on strategic wind energy research. The aim of the forum is to provide the European R&I community in wind energy opportunities to create synergy advantages for European research organizations and industry in support of the green energy transition and the SET-Plan goals.
