Our team had the pleasure of participating in the 13th International Conference on Environmental Engineering and Management (ICEEM 13), held in Iași, Romania, from September 17–20, 2025, at the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iași.
We presented the paper titled, “Sensor-based assessment of green infrastructure strategies for air pollution control in urban areas.” The paper was presented by Andronic Luminița, with co-authors Mihai-Daniel Niță from Transilvania University of Brasov, and Renate Cornici-Dan and Tiberiu Chiricheș from Propark Foundation for Protected Areas.
The presentation was delivered within the framework of the NATURE-DEMO project, focusing on the potential of green infrastructure and sensor-based monitoring systems to mitigate urban air pollution. The session provided valuable feedback and fostered insightful discussions with the international sustainability and environmental engineering community.
We extend our sincere thanks to the conference Co-Presidents Carmen Teodosiu, Francesco Fatone, and Brindusa M. Sluser, and to the entire team who made this inspiring event possible. We are also grateful to all participants for sharing their knowledge and best practices.
