Creating mutually beneficial collaborations

Solving together

We can help get your hardest problems solved by bringing together experts from all over the world.

WeDoWind is a framework for bringing asset owners together with researchers and model developers in a "win-win" situation, whereby asset owners get easy access to state-of-the-art data analytics and model developers get access to relevant asset data to train and validate their models. The framework also creates a "win-win" situation for recruiters and job-seekers, whereby recruiters get access to the best people and job-seekers build the right contacts to get jobs. The method is based on industry-provided challenges, which are coordinated through digital spaces. Multiple digital spaces form branch-specific ecosystems of collaborators. It can be applied in any sector.
For existing ecosystems, we do this by:
1Designing
  • Define the goals

  • Create the challenges

  • Define „tags"

  • Define the space rules

  • Connect the data

  • Create supplementary material such as lectures or training

  • Define the participants

2Identifying
  • Create a public website with registration form

  • Coordinate public webinars

  • Interact with participants and ensure correct access rights

  • Engage with participants actively via notifications, emails and questionnaires

  • Support with IT problems

3Moderating
  • Define and run regular webinars with participants

  • Apply state-of-the-art workshop methodologies to maximise collaboration

  • Document and share the results

  • Create digital discussion channels related to the webinars

4Curating
  • Create summaries of results

  • Check and tidy the space

  • Ensure the rules are being respected

  • Connect participants with each other

5Disseminating
  • Communicate the results on social media at regular intervals

  • Coordinate and submit journal or conference papers

  • Prepare blog articles

  • Collection and communication of feedback from participants

  • Make connections to other spaces

Why is WeDoWind unique?

The idea of “challenges” is not new, but it has not yet been applied to build up a global ecosystem of centralised knowledge in a specific sector.
  • An independent One-Stop-Shop for easily accessing state-of-the-art sector-specific data and data science.
  • A real incentive for both data owners and data science developers to actually share and collaborate.
  • Moderated challenges and facilitated workshops in order to get the most out of all participants.
  • Unrestricted access to people from all backgrounds all over the world.
  • A connection of the Challenges to teaching resources to enhance learning.
  • A central location for data and metadata standards in the sector.
  • The framework can be applied to create ecosystems in any sector.
