Further information for the WES Research Day (afternoon session)
Attendance is free of charge, and non-members of the Society are welcome to attend. We particularly encourage posters and oral presentations by MSc students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and ECRs working on topics related to wind engineering. There will be prizes awarded for the best oral presentations by PhD students, and the top prize winners will also be offered the opportunity to present at a WES evening event in London.
