The second workshop of WILL4WIND project titled '' Meteorology and Wind Energy Management’’was held on 29 October 2014 at the Hotel Zora, Primošten.

The workshop was held as part of the EU - IPA project Weather Intelligence for Wind Energy - WILL4WIND.

The workshop was organized by: Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ), Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb (FER) , Croatian Transmission System Operator Ltd. (HOPS), Energy Institute Hrvoje Požar (EIHP) and RP Global Projekti Ltd.

The workshop included presentations given by representatives of organizing institutions and other invited experts from the field:
