About us

DIGIWIND IN A NUTSHELL

DigiWind is a pioneering EU-co-funded project, within the Digital Europe Programme (DEP), that aims to support Europe’s digital and green transformation. Through interdisciplinary Specialised Education Programmes (SEPs), DigiWind aims to future-proof the careers of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professionals in renewable energy. The project will provide advanced digital skills in areas such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), CyberSec, and other emerging technologies, aligning with the objectives of the DEP.

DigiWind drives excellence through dynamic cooperation and strategic partnerships, revolutionising education by significantly expanding geographic reach, gender inclusivity, and overall diversity for learners and educators. This is achieved through a robust modular system featuring three distinct learning journeys: Master of Science (M.Sc.) degrees, self-paced online Masters programs, and Lifelong Learning Modules.

Masters of Science degrees

Combine wind and energy systems engineering with acquisition of advanced skills in key capacity areas, including core programming skills and a digital mindset.

Self-paced
Masters degrees

Master the application of digital technologies while solving complex engineering and societal challenges combining wind and energy systems engineering with acquisition of advanced skills.

Lifelong Learning Modules

Speed and flexibility are built into the DigiWind advanced skills in key capacity areas including the micro-credentialed Lifelong Learning Modules.

PERSPECTIVES

“Candidates should have a high level of competence in Al, as it 
is necessary for effciency. For example, predictive maintenance limiting physical visits to the wind turbines will create value. 
Data can be used to decide which turbines and foundations need inspection and when.”
Lars Lonstrup Nicolaisen

“Engineers should have the digital skills to build a minimum viable product and later, software developers can take over.”

“The digital mindset is not just about technical skills, although you have to have some technical skills. It’s also a way of thinking—a way of thinking about data, devices, and technologies as well as how we operate in an organization”
Tsedal Neeley

"Digitalization of the sector will create value and it requires employees with strong digital competences. For example, we will develop digital twins of entire wind farms."

"Today, digital skills are typically self-taught and not obtained from the university. There are no standard digital skills among engineers leaving university nor from those engineers recruited from other jobs."

“Cyber security is top priority in the wind energy industry, and it is necessary that our engineers understand what the challenge is. Information security is of course required for all.”

“The potential of Digital Twins in the Wind industry is enormous. From using VR to demonstrate installation or dismantling of wind turbine components... Digital Twins are here to stay, and its adoption by wind energy players will be accelerating while moving to a digitalised energy sector."
