On Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th of June, the ESRs, the beneficiaries and the partners of the Zephyr project gathered online. Sophia Buckingham made a project overview, each ESR presented an outline of their own work and how it related to the various Zephyr research areas. This was followed by the discussion on the training, secondments and related financial aspects and the benchmark analysis on the following areas: Large onshore Wind Turbine by S. Oerlemans, Complex terrain wind farm by S. Buckingham and Urban canopy by A. Ianakiev.
The first 2-days online training on "Fundamentals of fluid mechanics, acoustics and structural dynamics" was organized by TU Delft during the week of 1 July 2020.
In all, 16 of our early stage researchers were able to join the first online training, with all of the beneficiaries and a number of the project partners represented.
The course included a number of talks on the key education and training components of the Network, as well as technical talks presented by the academic leaders of the projects. The complete programme of the course is available on the Zephyr website.
