About wimby
WIMBY is an European funded project which ended in December 2025, supporting the adoption and acceptance of wind-power in the European Union. It has developed innovative tools to facilitate citizen and stakeholders interaction, knowledge sharing, and collaborative evaluation of impacts, conflicts, synergies and social innovation potential.
The main objective of this research was to mitigate the ‘Not In My Backyard’ (NIMBY) effect by providing practical information for simple and comprehensible assessments. This was aimed at creating common ground for participatory decision-making processes among all stakeholders and citizens.
