Abstract
The inter- and transdisciplinary oriented project BioPV explores the potentials of open space PV in the development zones of Austrian biosphere reserves by addressing conflicts and synergies of an integrated sustainable development. In order to make a significant research contribution in both theory and practice, the project combines technical-economic modeling, ecological analyses and habitat surveys, quantitative and qualitative methods of social acceptance, and participatory planning. The project aims to increase renewable energy capacity in Austria based on the concepts and goals of sustainability and resilience. With its strong emphasis on developing a sustainable relationship between people and the environment, BioPV will make an important contribution to achieving the goals of the United Nations SDG 15 "Life on Land", the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, and the Austrian goal of climate neutrality in 2040.
