GEOSS and Wind Energy Workshop

The Wind Energy Working Group of the Energy Community of Practices organised a workshop at the European Wind Energy Conference (EWEC) in Milano, Italy to create awareness and interest on GEOSS within the wind energy community. This workshop was attended by 50 people. 7 presentations showing different aspects of the links between wind energy and GEOSS were presented. The presentations were followed up by a round-table betweens presenters and attendees on the benefits of GEOSS for wind energy. The exchanges were fruitful and the attendees were convinced by potentialities of a Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
