WWEA, TERI Extend Paper Submission Deadline for WWEC2021 amid Covid-19 Pandemic

On the back of the Covid-19 pandemic, the deadline for the online submission of paper abstract till March 31, 2021, for the WWEC2021 has been extended by the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

The 19th World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition (WWEC2021) will be hosted jointly by WWEA and TERI, scheduled on 24-26 November 2021 in New Delhi, India.

This year WWEC2021 theme is “Powering the World with Wind and Sun”, and the event has been supported by the International Solar Alliance (ISA), the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) and the Indian Wind Power Association (IWPA).

Further, all the abstracts must be written in English, with concise and clearly stated results, including objectives or key components of the paper – as well as the topic to which it belongs. Also, they will not exceed 500 words and will contain a list of key words.

Also, the participants will have to choose one of the presentation types i.e. Oral presentation or Poster presentation.
