The main theme around which the CWW2025 program will be structured is: “Coexistence in a Changing World: Sharing Existing Knowledge, Challenges and Emerging Solutions”
CWW2025 will include a range of plenary sessions, panel sessions, individual talks, scientific workshops and posters on the topics outlined below.
We are aiming for a conference with physical attendance and live presentations. However, we also recognize that many potential contributors may not be able to attend in-person and are planning a hybrid in-person/virtual event with virtual oral presentations (to be recorded). All in-person and virtual conference attendees will have access to recorded presentations.
All abstracts submitted will be reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the conference made up of 18 international experts.
The program for CWW 2025 will be structured around 12 key topics:
- Landscape-level approaches to address wind energy/biodiversity challenges, particularly those affecting multiple land users and stakeholders
- Regulatory and planning aspects of wind energy projects (including research efforts to inform regulatory or voluntary conservation decisions)
- Applying the Mitigation Hierarchy: case studies and good practice examples of avoidance, minimization and mitigation, including off setting and restoration
- Wind energy and biodiversity in practice
- Species-specific responses of onshore and offshore wind energy projects
- Population and cumulative effects, including climate change
- Ecosystem and habitat effects of on and offshore wind energy projects
- Lessons learned in marine and terrestrial environments for wind energy development
- The Mediterranean Basin and wind development : trends, key issues and case studies
- Emerging markets and wind development: trends, key issues & case studies
- Innovation to advance wind energy and biodiversity science : novel conceptual, methodological, and technological approaches
- Future challenges, emerging solutions and technologies
Abstract submission is open until 11:59pm CET on January 31, 2025.
