WEI Research Events

In line with our commitment to fostering industry-academic collaboration, Wind Energy Ireland (WEI) is proud to host several research-focused events throughout the year. We invite researchers and third-level students to actively participate in our industry conferences, offering a unique platform to present their work and engage with key industry stakeholders. These events provide valuable opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking, and showcasing innovative research that can shape the future of wind energy.  

WEI Research Events feature three unique gatherings:
