Conferences

Attendees at the 9th International Colloquium on Bluff Body Aerodynamics and Applications 29 July - 2 August 2024, University of Birmingham, UK
IAWE conferences operate on a four-year rotating cycle. In the first year, we host the International Conference on Wind Engineering (ICWE). The following year features the International Colloquium on Bluff-Body Aerodynamics and its Applications (BBAA). Year three brings Regional Conferences on Wind Engineering (ACWE, APCWE, EACWE), while year four showcases the International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE). The cycle then begins a new with ICWE.
