This conference is in response to NSF DCL 23-108 on Conferences on Clean Energy Topics. Wind energy is among the leading technologies to meet the global clean energy goals. As the market for onshore wind energy systems is maturing, development of offshore wind energy farms is emerging to be a new frontier for commercial deployment. This conference grant, Great Lakes Offshore Wind (GLOW) Energy-Research Assessment will benefit society through the scientific dissemination of knowledge towards renewable, sustainable, and clean energy in the United States Great Lakes region. The interdisciplinary research, from engineering to social science, will include methods for increased public scientific literacy and engagement, and the development of a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce surrounding wind energy technologies. The outcomes of the conference will include new pathways for research and education that will improve collaboration among a diverse range of academic institutions, industry, and state agencies, including full participation of individuals underrepresented in STEM, including women, persons with disabilities, and tribal communities. Societal impacts also include improved STEM education and educator development, and enhanced infrastructure for research and education in relevant and interdisciplinary topics of sustainability and clean energy. The GLOW workshop activities are aimed to advance knowledge and understanding in fields of electrical, marine, aerodynamic, structural, legal, regulatory, social, and environmental systems with a common goal to identify challenges that stand in the way of realizing offshore wind energy stems on the Great Lakes and formulate convergent research questions to overcome the challenges. All the research initiatives in the area of offshore wind energy have been focused on the west and east coastal region nationally, and in the North Sea region internationally. The Great Lakes region is a unique ecosystem with a vast potential for untapped wind energy resources. Many of the states that surround the great lakes are net energy importers. Thus, successful formulation and sustained research in the area will transform the energy economics of the region. The workshop will consist of virtual pre-conference thematic listening sessions followed by live sessions with a mix of presentations and active work sessions. Post-conference evaluation, review and refining of the whitepaper will serve as a touchstone to assess the success of the workshop.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本次会议是响应NSF DCL 23-108关于清洁能源主题的会议。风能是实现全球清洁能源目标的领先技术之一。随着陆上风能系统市场的成熟，海上风电场的开发正在成为商业部署的新前沿。本次会议赠款，五大湖海上风力（GLOW）能源研究评估将通过科学传播知识，在美国五大湖地区的可再生，可持续和清洁能源造福社会。从工程到社会科学的跨学科研究将包括提高公众科学素养和参与度的方法，以及围绕风能技术发展多元化和具有全球竞争力的STEM劳动力。会议的成果将包括研究和教育的新途径，这将改善各种学术机构，行业和国家机构之间的合作，包括在STEM中代表性不足的个人的充分参与，包括妇女，残疾人和部落社区。社会影响还包括改善STEM教育和教育者发展，以及加强可持续性和清洁能源相关和跨学科主题的研究和教育基础设施。GLOW研讨会活动旨在促进电气，海洋，空气动力学，结构，法律的，监管，社会和环境系统领域的知识和理解，共同目标是确定阻碍五大湖实现海上风能的挑战，并制定收敛的研究问题，以克服挑战。海上风能领域的所有研究举措都集中在全国的西部和东部沿海地区，以及国际上的北海地区。五大湖地区是一个独特的生态系统，具有巨大的风能资源潜力。五大湖周边的许多州都是能源净进口国。因此，该领域的成功制定和持续研究将改变该区域的能源经济。研讨会将包括虚拟会前专题聆听会，随后是现场会议，其中既有发言，也有积极的工作会议。会后评估，审查和完善白皮书将作为试金石，以评估研讨会的成功。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
