NOWITECH - Research Network

NOWITECH has so far financed 25 PhD students and 5 post-doctoral researchers. In addition, 10 PhD students and 2 post docs on offshore wind energy are on-going at NTNU with finance from other sources, but carried out in alignment with NOWITECH.

Find the complete list of PhD and PostDocs in the Annual Report 2015, on page 44-47.

NOWITECH facilitates through the Scientific Committee collaboration in their education and studies of the PhD and post doc students.
