The NJ Wind Institute Fellowship Program is designed to encourage and support student research in topics that further the development of offshore wind and build student and faculty advisor expertise in offshore wind research and innovation in the state of New Jersey.
University Initiatives Program
With a $125,000 grant from the NJEDA, The University Initiatives to Advance Offshore Wind (UI) program is designed to support projects that build long-term industry-valued expertise in offshore wind. There are three projects as a part of the UI program:
- Educational Initiatives for a Resilient Offshore Wind Economy in NJ
- The Offshore Wind Symposium
- Community Events and Shared Learning.
The UI Program is overseen by the Offshore Wind Collaborative, a group of faculty and researchers who work together to address the needs of the industry while building the future workforce in offshore wind.
