Professors, who will be sponsored by Vestas for five years, are expected to conduct independent, high-quality university research within the field of wind power.
Your university must commit to making the wind power professor position permanent when the initial five years of Vestas funding runs out. This requirement is set by Vestas to ensure the necessary gradual build up of vigorous wind power research activity at universities worldwide.
Professors work primarily at their home universities, but visit Vestas Technology R&D units in Denmark (headquarters), the UK (primarily blades), Singapore, India, Germany (drive train only), or as of 2009, the USA.
Developing your collaboration with Vestas Technology R&D involves being the project leader for Vestas projects at your university, initiating new Vestas university projects and supervising Vestas PhD and master's degree students.
Basic conditions
- You must be a well-established, internationally oriented researcher qualified to become a Professor.
- Professors sponsored by Vestas must go through their university’s normal evaluation process for Professors.
