The session was very lively and interactive. The panel members shared their inputs on Research opportunities in Wind Energy for 5-10 minutes time and Q&A session was opened after for the participants to interact with the speakers. There were many questions, which was very useful for the researcher and academicians to get in to the wind sector which will lead to the orderly growth of wind industry. All the region participants were satisfied with the knowledge transferred though the events and expressed happiness through their feedback.
