Agrivoltaics: Definitions, Policy Frameworks, and Optimal Siting

The webinar will bring together researchers and experts from across Europe to discuss the definitions and key characteristics of agrivoltaic systems, current policy and regulatory frameworks in Europe and beyond, and approaches for identifying optimal locations and suitable areas for agrivoltaic deployment.

The presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion, providing an opportunity to reflect on current challenges and future directions for agrivoltaics.
