The WENDY project (2022–2025) focused on understanding and supporting the social acceptance of wind energy across Europe. Through collaborative research and practical tools, WENDY examined the social, environmental, and technical factors influencing wind farm development.

These resources are available to help journalists, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders gain insight into the project and its results.

What is the WENDY project?
