HarvRESt relies on the lessons from previous EU and national projects addressing bioeconomy strategies and implementation of novel renewable energy sources.

Below you can find information on some of these relevant projects. 

Wendy

The main objective of the Wendy project is to trigger a change in the social perception of onshore and offshore wind energy projects. To unravel the triggers for social acceptance of wind farms, a multi-spatial planning and impact assessment tool will be developed and validated through a comprehensive social, environmental and technical analysis.

Climate Farm Demo

Climate Farm Demo is a unique pan-European network of Pilot Demo Farmers (PDFs) covering 28 countries and all pedo-climatic areas. Its overall aim is to accelerate the adoption of Climate Smart Farming (CSF) practices and solutions by farmers and all actors of the Climate Smart Agriculture Knowledge & Innovation Systems (AKIS) with a view to adapting agricultural production systems to climate change and to achieving a carbon neutral agricultural sector by 2050, thereby meeting the targets of the EU Climate strategy.

SYNERGY

SYNERGY will attempt to unleash the data-driven innovation and collaboration potential across currently diversified and fragmented electricity actors, acting as a multiplier of the “combined” data value that can be accrued, shared and traded, and re-conceiving real-time data sharing against traditionally bilateral contracting applied in the electricity sector, to enable holistic optimization of the operation of electricity networks and the energy performance of their constituent components (RES plants, buildings, districts).
