World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) is an international non-profit association embracing the wind sector worldwide, with more than 600 members in around 100 countries. WWEA works for the promotion and worldwide deployment of wind energy technology.
 
● WWEA provides a platform for the communication of all wind energy actors worldwide.
● WWEA advises and influences national governments and international organizations.
● WWEA enhances international technology transfer.
 
WWEA Working Principles:
1. Wind energy shall serve as one cornerstone and a driving force for the immediate application of a world energy system driven by renewable energies to completely substitute fossil and nuclear sources.
 
2. Global dissemination of grid-connected and stand-alone wind energy solutions should rely on experience gained from the most successful implementation strategies, based on favourable legal, political and social framework conditions as initiated by national associations. Local and rural communities and people should be involved and should benefit directly.
 
3. WWEA shall stimulate and support the foundation of national and regional wind energy associations and encourage national governments to set ambitious targets and political frameworks for priority strategies in favour of a fast and sustainable development of all renewable energies.
 
4. WWEA organizes together with continental, national and regional wind energy associations World Wind Energy Conferences and further international events for mobilizing a wide range of the different wind energy applications.
 
5. WWEA plays an active role in the World Council for Renewable Energies and cooperates with further international renewable energy organizations in order to work for a full substitution of all polluting and hazardous waste causing energies.
Internship Tasks:
Working on a project which is in the common interest of WWEA and the interns, such as:  
● An in-depth market research of the barriers of the wind power market in Pakistan;
● Chinese strategy for climate neutrality and the role of renewables; 
● The status and prospects of the Chinese offshore wind industry;
● Training and education in wind power sector.
The specific content of the internship depends on the needs at that time.
 
Requirements：
● Bachelor’s degree (completed/ongoing)
● General interest in renewable energy and in particular in wind power
● Have a basic knowledge in the area related to political, economic or technological dimensions
● Fluency in spoken and written English
● Strong interpersonal and English communicative skills
