Projects

Project co-operation is good way to bring the real life in to your studies. It gives you a chance to learn more about the challenges the industry is facing and it is always exiting to create knowledge and solutions that you know is going to be used.

So we are searching for creative, innovative and hard working students that are looking for a chance to improve their knowledge and experience by working together with some of the leading wind power companies in the world.

It is always a good idea to check the rules and guidelines for project co-operation at your place of education. These often vary from institution to institution.

Learn more about the different educations here.
