Global University Programme

In our experience, the independent research being conducted at universities inspires and contributes significantly to the creation of innovative wind power solutions. We believe in the value of contributing to this knowledge development so we jointly can take on the challenge of setting the agenda for the next generation wind turbine solutions.
We want to attract and collaborate with the best wind power students and researchers at universities around the world. Thus, outstanding students can apply for scholarships to write their Master’s thesis or PhD with Vestas, while well-established researchers can apply for sponsorship of a five-year position as a professor.
