Abstract Submissions Now Open: NAWEA/WindTech 2025
Conference

The 2025 NAWEA/WindTech Conference, will be co hosted by The University of Texas at Dallas and Sandia National Laboratories in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 15 – 17, 2025 (with a Graduate Student Symposium, educational events, and other side meetings on Oct. 13 – 14, 2025). Abstract submission is now open, and we encourage novel contributions from wind energy students, faculty members, researchers, industry, and governmental representatives from around the world to apply.

Those interested in presenting their research at the conference will need to submit an up-to three-page abstract, including a figure for podium or poster presentation using the Word or LaTeX template by May 17, 2025, 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Please identify your preference as either presentation or poster in the available tracks. Limit two abstracts per first author. IMPORTANT: the NAWEA/WindTech 2025 Conference does NOT require a full paper!  The Scientific Committee will review submitted abstracts and notify authors of acceptance by July 15, 2025. Abstracts can be submitted in any of the following track topics:

  • Airborne Wind
  • Atmospheric Science
  • Blade Design, Materials & Manufacturing
  • Controls
  • Cybersecurity Resilience
  • Digitalization, AI, Machine Learning
  • Distributed Wind
  •  Education and Workforce Development
  • Environment
  • Experiments and Instrumentation
  • Extreme Weather
  • Grid Integration
  • Hybrids and Power to X
  • Infrastructure, Supply Chain and Policy
  • Ocean Sciences
  • Offshore Wind Technologies
  • Reliability, Operations & Maintenance

Submit Your Abstract

For questions related to abstracts submission, please contact Genevieve Starke (gstarke@nrel.gov) and Todd Griffith (tgriffith@utdallas.edu).

The 2025 conference theme is focused on enabling affordability, security, reliability and  energy resilience through research and technology development in wind energy.

Authors accepted for an oral presentation are invited to submit a full paper for review and possible publication in Wind Energy Science (WES). NAWEA/WindTech 2025 papers will have their publication charges reduced by 20%. Submissions are due by October 30, 2025.

Why WES?

WES is an open-access international scientific journal publishing high quality fundamental and pioneering research, reviews and commentaries in wind energy. The Editorial Board is composed by leading scientists in their fields, supported by a large pool of expert reviewers, together ensuring the highest scientific standards.

Divided into six thematic areas, the journal covers all main fields of wind energy: wind and the atmosphere; fluid mechanics; dynamics and control; wind technologies; materials and operation; electrical conversion, integration and impacts. Soon after submission, papers under review are posted on the journal website. This means that papers are visible and accessible immediately after submission and throughout the entire peer-review process.

WES has a unique interactive public peer review process. In addition to the expert referees nominated by the Editorial Board, readers too can post comments to a manuscript submitted to the journal. By taking an active role in the review of new research, readers can help improve scientific quality and foster discussion and transparency.
