6th AAWE Workshop & Call for Abstracts

The 6th AAWE Workshop is May 12-14 2021, hosted online by Clemson University, and focused on providing graduate students and early career engineers with an opportunity to present their work in progress and discuss it with the wind engineering community.

6th AAWE Workshop & Registration

The Glenn Department of Civil Engineering at Clemson University is hosting the the 6th AAWE Workshop with a focus on student and early career presentations. The workshop will include several keynote addresses and panel discussions on non-academic wind engineering careers and future directions for wind engineering research.

The program is chaired by Nigel Kaye (Clemson University) with the assistance of a Scientific Committee who will assist in reviewing abstracts and selecting speakers and panelists.

The workshop is free to all members of AAWE, join or renew your membership if it has expired. Follow the Workshop Twitter Feed for updates.
