EOLIAN is organising its first webinar!
The event will provide an introduction to the project and its mission to develop a new generation of wind turbine blades offering longer lifetime, better maintainability and reliability, together with higher sustainability and recyclability.
The event takes place on Thursday 11th December at 10:00-11:30 CET.
Who should attend?
This webinar is aimed at research, industry and policy professionals interested in advancing sustainability and circularity in wind energy. Participants will learn about new vitrimer composite materials for manufacturing recyclable and repairable blades, technologies to enable structural health monitoring and de-icing, and the potential technical, economic and environmental benefits these EOLIAN innovations will bring to the wind energy industry.
Guest speakers will offer insights from related EU-funded projects.
