The NATURE-DEMO project was present at the 3rd Conference of the European Association on Quality Control of Bridges and Structures (EUROSTRUCT 2025) in Dublin, Ireland. Our presence highlighted the project’s key contributions to developing sustainable, nature-based solutions for built infrastructure.
During the conference, Maria de Farago from Telespazio UK presented the following papers:
- InSAR interferometry for structural health characterization prior and after Nature-based Solutions implementation – Maria de Farago, Erlinda Biescas, Erik Kuschel, Sérgio Fernandes, Alfred Strauss, Rosemarie Stangl, Johannes Hübl
- Decision making framework for nature-based solutions to protect critical infrastructure against natural hazards – Sérgio Fernandes, Erik Kuschel, Michael Obriejetan, Rosemarie Stangl, Johannes Hübl, Alfred Strauss
- Bridging Ecology and Infrastructure: Evaluating the Integrated Benefits of Nature-Based Solutions – Mohammadzadeh S, T Scholz, Symmank L
- NbS to Enhance Bridge Resilience: Addressing Climate Change Impacts and Mitigation Strategies – Mosbeh R. Kaloop, Mohamed Eldessouki
NATURE-DEMO’s participation in EUROSTRUCT 2025 reinforced the project's commitment to promoting more sustainable and resilient infrastructure. We are excited to continue sharing our progress and contributing to a greener future.

NATURE-DEMO Newsletter no. 8
Our May 2026 newsletter is packed with updates on our efforts to advance nature-based solutions (NbS) for critical infrastructure. As the NATURE-DEMO project reaches its two-year milestone, we reflect on a period of intense collaboration and scientific innovation. With the successful completion of the first three Work Packages (WPs) on April 30th, the project has transitioned from a phase of digital and conceptual framework development into the real-world deployment phase.
