What is the Poul la Cour Award?
The award is given to a person who, through their current or recent work, has contributed to a lasting improvement in the development and exploitation of wind power and Power-to-X, which is used in connection with wind power. This may be a technical innovation, a contribution to improving or understanding the economics of wind power, or a contribution to improving the integration of wind power into society – both in terms of the public acceptance of wind turbines in the landscape and the technical integration into the energy systems of European countries.
Candidates can cover a wide range of scientific disciplines. There are no requirements for a specific education or academic level, age, or number of years in the wind power sector. The most important criterion is that the person has made a unique and continuous contribution to the increased development and exploitation of wind power in Europe. Your candidate must live and work in the EU27, EEA or UK.
