Stage 1: Contributions to the state of play.

Here, we will set the foundations for the development and coordination of the different tasks in TERRYER. As result, researchers will be provided with verified empirical information in order to confirm the scenarios and to enrich the theoretical support to the socio-territorial analysis of the energy transition. The activities to be performed include:

• Tuning of the Methodology through the bibliographical revision.
• Documental data gathering on study cases.
• Development of analytical framework and conceptual reflection with the project study cases as references.
• Support the elaboration and coordination of maximum impact articles.
• Purpose about coediting books joint with other research groups in Spain and Portugal.
• Collaboration in the organization of a seminar to build a Network of Excellence.

Stage 2: Territories and physical-environmental processes.

• Delimitation of sub-basins related to the fields of study and selection of cartographical sources and the addition of geographical information.
• Cartographical analysis with GIS of the changes in the uses of land, before and after the implementation of power plants (Corine Land Cover and SIOSE in Spain and its counterparts in Portugal).
• Cartographical analysis of soil erosion related to power plants through the use of the USLE equation and the SWAT model.
• Analysis of physic-environmental variables associated to the renewable power plants.
• Drafting and presentation of a Code of Good Practices.
• Communication to the Iberian Colloquium of Geography.
• Implementation of scientific articles.

Stage 3: Multifunctional Renewable Power Plants.

We will identify and evaluate proceedings as well as activities related to the installing and using of renewable energies plants, including the own perception among the local populations. The actions to be developed will consist on:

• Identification of the main actors involved on the start-up of the renewable energies plants as study cases.
• Fieldwork: visual recognition, matchmaking and photographing.
• Lab work: field recognition.
• Elaboration and treatment of surveys and data analysis to measure the functions of renewable power plants.

Stage 4: Social innovation and Governance.

Social aspects related to the implementation of renewable energies will be strengthen and emphasised in this stage. To this end, the participation of the local populations will be encouraged by discussion groups and the dissemination of good practices. The tasks required include:

• Examination of successful consumer associations cases, specifically those with incidence in the procedures of generation and supply of energies and in the associates’ motivations. Interviews with the founding partners will be held and results will be exploited comparatively.
• Setting discussion groups with associations, consumption cooperatives, promoters and enterprises.
• Identification on governance and social responsibility good practices among local associations and administrations.
• Maximum impact publications related to social innovation and consumption cooperatives.
• Presentation of methodological guides with educational nature.

Stage 5: Training and Transfer.

A network will be consolidated with the aim of reinforcing the importance and necessity of renewable energies landscapes territorial analysis. These actions will mainly consist on:

The links with enterprises and the training of professional doctors.

• Diffusion activities of the Project will be held through this website, as well as through social networks and triptychs.
• Two Doctorate Courses will be proposed along a supervision of doctoral these at the University of Seville.
• Results transfer.
• Teaching of a closing seminar to spread scientific results.
