So discover, agrivoltaics: beyond technology
Agrivoltaics promises to simultaneously address two critical needs: food production and energy production. While much of the field has focused on the « hard » sciences to solve technical challenges to solve technical challenges, he vital contributions of the humanities and social sciences are frequently overlooked. Agrivoltaics is not a one-size-fits all solution. Agrivoltaics is not a universal solution. Instead, agrivoltaic design must adapt to the location-specific and diverse needs of various stakeholders.
The agrivoltaics thematic school has three main objectives. First, we will revisit the concept of agrivoltaics to rediscover both intended and overlooked synergies. Second, we will emphasise the need to make non-uniform choices of agrivoltaic installations adapted to different territorial, social and cultural configurations. In this regard, the international training programme will ensure a diverse perspective beyond the French context. Finally, we highlight how interdisciplinarity—specifically the social sciences—shapes the technological choices required to meet complex challenges. Participants will apply these methods firsthand through collaborative, workshop-based scenario building.
Registration is open until 5 April 2026 with this link :https://agrivolt.sciencesconf.org/
