As the agricultural sector faces increasing challenges due to climate change, land scarcity, and energy demands, agrivoltaics emerges as a sustainable solution that enables simultaneous food and energy production. However, a significant knowledge gap persists among vocational education and training professionals, farmers, and technicians regarding the design, implementation, and management of agrivoltaic systems.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To address this gap, the project seeks to develop an integrated framework that combines innovative learning methodologies with applied research and digital tools. By introducing interactive, multilingual training resources and immersive technologies, AgriVOLTages aims to empower the next generation of agricultural professionals with the skills and competencies required for Europe\u2019s green transition and renewable energy integration.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Project Programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"justify\">The project is implemented over a 24-month period (October 2025 \u2013 September 2027) under the <strong>Erasmus+ KA220-VET programme.<\/strong> The programme is structured around a well-defined timeline involving collaborative design, testing, and dissemination activities led by international partners. Each phase ensures that project outputs align with the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In this project, partners will co-develop digital learning platforms, VR-based training simulations, and a hybrid agrivoltaic network connecting farmers, researchers, and VET institutions. The programme will culminate in national training events, multiplier sessions, and an EU-wide conference to foster sector-wide adoption and cross-border cooperation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Aim and Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"justify\">The main aim of AgriVOLTages is <strong>to strengthen vocational training for sustainable agriculture through the adoption of agrivoltaic systems and renewable energy integration.<\/strong> This will be achieved by enhancing digital and green skills, promoting innovation in agricultural education, and encouraging collaboration between academia, industry, and rural communities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Specifically, the project seeks to (1) create an <strong>agrivoltaic knowledge base,<\/strong> (2) design <strong>interactive simulations and VR learning tools,<\/strong> (3) establish a <strong>hybrid learning network<\/strong>, (4) promote <strong>inclusive and accessible training<\/strong>, and (5) disseminate results to ensure long-term sectoral <strong>impact<\/strong> across Europe.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Target Groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"justify\">The project\u2019s main target groups include <strong>farmers, agricultural engineers, VET educators, students, and rural entrepreneurs<\/strong> seeking to modernize agricultural practices with renewable energy solutions. These groups will directly benefit from the hybrid learning system and multilingual open-access resources.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Indirectly, AgriVOLTages also addresses policymakers, local authorities, and sustainability organizations aiming to promote climate-smart agriculture and support the green transition. By integrating digital tools and inclusive learning practices, the project ensures equitable participation for women, NEET youth, and marginalized rural communities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Work Packages\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"justify\">To achieve its objectives, the project is structured around <strong>five key Work Packages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>\u2013 Project Management<\/strong>: ensures quality, coordination, and efficient communication across partners.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>\u2013 Agrivoltaic Knowledge Base Development <\/strong>produces 12 specialized training modules on system design, maintenance, and optimization.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>\u2013 Interactive Scenarios and VR Test Environments <\/strong>develops immersive simulations for hands-on learning in agrivoltaic design.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>\u2013 Hybrid Agrivoltaic Learning Network <\/strong>builds an online multilingual platform for collaboration, peer learning, and open-source knowledge sharing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>\u2013 Dissemination and Promotion <\/strong>focuses on stakeholder engagement through workshops, conferences, and outreach campaigns.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Together, these WPs create a coherent and impactful pathway toward sustainable capacity building in the agrivoltaic sector.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Project Partners<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Coordinatore di Progetto<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mans.edu.pl\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibe.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mans-logo-300x136.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"124\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Altri partners<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/international.au.dk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8263 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibe.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aarhus_logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsl.bg\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibe.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSL_logo-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"105\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uludag.edu.tr\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibe.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/nursa_logo-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sdsnetwork.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibe.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sdsn_logo-300x88.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"justify\"><strong>Referenti IBE del progetto<br \/>\n<\/strong>dr.
