Acceptability analysis of wind power
In 2021, solar and wind power for the first time provided more than 10% of the world’s electricity [1]. This makes wind a major and strategic part of the mix to achieve the energy transition and a green economy. Despite broad public support for renewables in general, challenges in social acceptance for wind continue to occur regionally and locally. The opposition usually focuses on aspects such as wildlife safety, biodiversi-ty protection, noise, visibility and landscape impacts, and loss in property values [2, 3]. For the effective implementation of wind farms, it is crucial to understand and address these varying facets of social accept-ability. This study aims to assess the perspectives of residents living near wind farms across different Euro-pean regions, employing Multicriteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) [4]. The objective is to devise region-specific strategies to enhance the acceptability of wind energy projects. Additionally, this research will ex-plore the relationship between socio-demographic and geographical characteristics of the residents and their acceptance of wind power, aiming to uncover underlying factors influencing the social acceptability of wind energy.

Quality check and validation of life-cycle inventories for emerging technologies
The premise Python library is a comprehensive tool designed for the integration and analysis of emerging tech-nologies (e.g., battery electric vehicles, synthetic fuels) using “futurized” life-cycle inventories (LCIs). The library is now used by hundreds of researchers. As part of our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and usability, we are seeking a Master's student with a passion for sustainability, environmental science, or a related field, to assist in the enhancement of our documentation, the refinement of life-cycle inventory descriptions, and the rig-orous quality assurance of our datasets. This internship presents an opportunity to contribute to a vital resource used by researchers and professionals worldwide to make informed decisions on sustainability
