🎥 What is wind farm optimisation and why does it matter? Today we see how #WIMBY’s tools use wind data, terrain & local input to optimise wind farm layouts, empowering informed community decisions! 🌬️🌍 🔊 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=xQ_mdX… #WindEnergy #CommunityEngagement

📣 On May 2, WIMBY joins #EGU25 with a session on Spatial & Temporal Modelling of Renewable Energy Systems! 🌍⚡️ From climate data & land use to system resilience & local energy communities: don’t miss it! 📍Vienna or online: #Orals" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/… #WIMBYproject #Renewables

🎥 Today we share insights from workshops in Styria, Austria, where we engaged with locals on #WindEnergy. Listening to communities boosts support for renewable projects. 🔊 Video in German, subtitles available: youtube.com/watch?v=IjMbR-… #WIMBYproject #CommunityEngagement

From fears about noise to concerns about bird mortality, misinformation around #WindPower can often stand in the way of progress.That’s where WIMBY steps in with interactive tools that show exactly how noise propagates and share real data on species impact youtube.com/watch?v=XANrL0…

🌍💨 Spanish-speaking community, this is for you! Our sister project WENDY Project EU is hosting a webinar in Spanish on Friday, March 7th, focusing on hashtag#SocialAcceptance of hashtag#WindEnergy and innovative tools developed within the project. Don’t miss out! 🔗👇

The #WIMBY project wrapped up an action-packed week in Portugal, hosted by our partner @APRENpt. From interactive workshops with the community to our GA, we took another step forward in making wind #energydeployment more inclusive and #sustainable. wimby.eu/wimby-in-portu…

🔍 In October, the #WIMBY team met with the AB to share progress and refine the project’s direction. As we enter the final phase, we’re refining our tools, completing workshops, and advancing models for better wind energy integration. 👉 To learn more: wimby.eu/reflecting-on-…

We advocate for greater inclusion of #women in #energyresearch, policy, and implementation, because the transition to #renewables must be shaped by and for everyone. Closing the #gendergap in science is about unlocking the full potential of knowledge, creativity and progress.

In the #renewableenergy sector, inclusive participation is key to driving innovation and ensuring a just and sustainable transition. At #WIMBY, we believe that diverse perspectives lead to better, fairer, and more impactful solutions.

🌍🔬 Today, on the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we recognise the importance of bridging the gender gap in #STEM. #Women have been at the forefront of scientific breakthroughs, yet they still face barriers to equal opportunities and recognition.

🔍Recently, @VUBrussel presented the integration of LCA into the interactive #WIMBY map at the 8th FNRS LCA Contact Group Meeting in Liège. In front of 50 researchers, we showcased our methodological approach, first results, and a live demonstration of the #WIMBYmap.

Thank you to everyone who participated, shared their perspectives, and engaged in meaningful discussions. 📢What’s next? In the coming weeks, we’ll be publishing a report summarising key takeaways from these workshops, along with more photos capturing the experience. Stay tuned!

🌬️Today marks the final day of #WIMBY's workshops in Portugal, and as always, it has been stimulating to meet with local communities and stakeholders, exchange ideas, and explore together the future of wind energy. #WindEnergy #Renewables #CommunityEngagement #Portugal #WindPower

And we’re not done yet! In the coming days, we’ll continue with community workshops, engaging directly with local stakeholders. A busy, but productive week ahead! #WindPower #WindEnergy #CommunityEngagement #WIMBY

Then was all about making the most of our time together with hands-on workshops to dive into key topics: - Exploitation & IPR - Energy system model interfaces - Biodiversity impacts - Data visualisation | WIMBY interactive map - Hard and soft constraints in wind power deployment

🌍 This week, the #WIMBY consortium is in Lisbon, hosted by @APRENpt, not just for the workshops in our Portuguese pilot site, but also for our in-person General Assembly, a great chance to align on the project’s final year.

🚀 #WIMBY workshops kick off in #Portugal Starting today, we’re in Viana do Castelo & Torres Vedras (Portugal) to advance #WindEnergy & foster collaboration. Featuring 3D VR tools to plan turbines, balance #renewables and community needs. Learn more: wimby.eu/wimby-workshop…
