Our aim is to promote cooperation in the advancement and application of knowledge in all aspects of wind engineering In the late eighties it became apparent that there was a need to formalise these activities and a number of likeminded research workers, academics and colleagues from industry formed the Wind Engineering Society Act as a representative body in matters relating to the welfare of wind engineering in the UK and such other countries that request representation through membership of the Society The WES organises regular technical meetings in the UK, publishes a quarterly newsletter and acts as a representative body for wind engineering in the UK The objectives of the Society are to promote cooperation in the advancement and application of knowledge in all aspects of wind engineering
