AgriVOLT Nexus strengthens the capacity of Higher Education to integrate agrivoltaics into agricultural sciences through systems thinking, digital decision support and experiential learning. The project equips educators with competence-based design skills and enables students to develop interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial and sustainability competences. Through Living Labs in the Netherlands, Greece, Bulgaria and Poland and a Gamified Digital Twin, AgriVOLT Nexus fosters collaboration between academia and industry.
