Second WindEmpowerment Global Conference 2014 in Athens, Greece
WISIONS is supporting the Second WindEmpowerment Global Conference, which will be taking place from 3rd to 7th November 2014 at the NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) in Greece.
The aim of the conference is to bring together people and organisations from around the world who work with small wind turbines in the field of rural electrification.
During the conference a variety of presentations will be made, examining the issues of knowledge transfer, finance, market assessment, technical advances and further relevant aspects. The lectures will be complemented by roundtable discussions, work group meetings and workshops with experts from the WindEmpowerment network. In addition, there will be two field trips to the Rafina and the Marathonas small wind turbine sites.
If you would like to attend the conference, you can still register by sending an email to WEAthens2014@gmail.com. Further information is available on the WEAthens2014 website.
