Great to see such strong and diverse representation of AWES science going to Torque 2020.
Excellent too, the papers are all available on IOP Science.

The conference is online this year which gives it more chance to be accessible.
Of note, the presentations will be from videos sent in.
Will the AWES presentations be shared openly anywhere other than at the conference?

I do not know whether the video material and posters will be made available after the conference in open access. I would think so, however. But in any case good if you ask this to the organizers.

I asked if there was a ticket available to only the last day… That’s when the single AWES session is… Nope. Sorry.
I’ll ask again about the post publication.
Like a kite, It sucks being supported on vacuumed vapour.

As I wrote, I can not see a reason why the conference organizers would not share the output of the conference afterwards.

Worth looking at this IOP page again

Seems to have been a few more publications added since this last post…
Notably
An engineering model for the induction of crosswind kite power systems
Mac Gaunaa, Alexander Meyer Forsting, Filippo Trevisi
DTU, Department of Wind Energy, Frederiksborgvej 399, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark
