BIOGAIN explores biodiversity-positive energy planning at ECCB 2026
BIOGAIN researchers hosted an ECCB 2026 roundtable on bringing biodiversity indicators and data-sharing into renewable energy planning at an earlier stage.
Enabling biodiversity-positive transformation of energy planning towards climate neutrality
About BIOGAIN
BIOGAIN investigates how Europe can plan renewable energy in a crowded landscape while working towards a biodiversity net gain. We bring together AI-assisted monitoring and novel biodiversity datasets — from acoustics and satellites to UAVs and environmental DNA — to fill the data gaps planners face today. Through serious games, choice experiments, and collaborative decision analyses across five universities and three case-study regions, we test how better data can tip planning toward nature-positive outcomes.

Five European universities meet in Vienna to start work on BIOGAIN, a Biodiversa+ project exploring how AI-supported biodiversity data can move renewable energy planning from mitigation to biodiversity net-gain.
