New Grant from the Velux Foundation: Biodiversity efforts in offshore wind energy: Combining ecosystem-based and business-driven approaches across scales
Cross-sectoral research-practice collaboration: HUMpraxis

Associate Professor Lise Justesen and Postdoc Jonathan Feddersen, Department of Organization (IOA/CBS) have received a grant of DKK 5.6 million

EcoCorp investigates how biodiversity can be integrated into offshore wind energy across scales by combining an ecosystem-based and business-driven approach. The project's premise is that the challenge lies in applying current tools, not inventing new ones. Three work packages analyze current practices and develop solutions through collaboration with key stakeholders. The project develops a process framework that guides a more ecosystem-based application of existing planning tools. The goal is to ensure that biodiversity considerations are embedded in planning and practice, thereby reducing the negative effects of offshore wind development on marine ecosystems. EcoCorp is led by Lise Justesen and Jonathan Feddersen, CBS and Stine Gro Jensen, WWF Denmark in collaboration with DTU Aqua and DTU Wind.
Big Congratulations!
