Activities

The Society holds a two day workshop approximately every 18 months. The aim of these workshops is to provide an open forum for discussion of research and industrial activities in the wind engineering, wind energy, and industrial aerodynamics fields. Members and invited guest speakers are encouraged to present related work they have been involved in since the last workshop. AWES workshops are intentionally maintained as informal meetings allowing members to present “to-date” research findings without the constraints of formal conferences. This arrangement allows the most rapid dissemination of the work of our members, to each other and to the wider engineering community. Information on our next workshop can be found under Events.

Associated with these workshops the Society organises a one-day seminar for practicing engineers and research students broadly covering wind engineering related topics, including discussion on aspects of the Australia / New Zealand wind loading standard. The Society also produces newsletters, awards prizes and research grants, and periodically holds public lectures on wind related topics.

Information on activities are distributed to members via the website and mailouts.
