The Advisory Board is composed of external stakeholders (i.e. non-Platform members) who help TPWind to enhance its network and effectiveness by providing advice and contacts. They represent an essential link between the Platform and other relevant sectors and stakeholders.
They also act as a quick access point to the expertise and know-how developed by other sectors, which is essential to reduce fragmentation of R&D activities.
The Advisory Board is not a decision-making body of the Platform, but has a consultative role.
It is managed by the Secretariat under the supervision of the Steering Committee. Its members were selected by the Steering Committee and invited in December 2010.
