The Vienna Workshop, organized by Alchemia Nova Research & Innovation (ANRI) and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, brought together project partners to collaborate on key aspects of the NATURE-DEMO initiative. The agenda featured interactive workshops, case study presentations, and discussions on risk assessment methodologies, Nature-based Solutions (NbS), and data-driven evaluation methods.
Key Highlights:
- Partners engaged in group discussions and hands-on exercises to refine NbS selection and assess measurable benefits.
- Presentations from various demo sites provided insights into real-world NbS applications.
- Experts from BOKU University and The Environmental Hydraulics Institute of Cantabria (FIHAC) led a session on structured methodoologies for evaluating environmental risks.
- Discussions focused on project progress, future collaborations, and publication plans.
During the workshop, short video interviews were recorded with DigInnoCent s.r.o., Liberec, Czech Republic, represented by coordinator Mohamed Eldessouki, alongside demonstrators from:
- Demo 1a - Lattenbach, Austria
- Demo 1b - Gschliefgraben, Austria
- Demo 2 - Brașov, Romania
- Demo 3 - Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Demo 4 - Zvolen, Slovakia
- Demo 5 - Struga, North Macedonia
These interviews will contribute to communicate the importance of NbS on a broader scale.
The Vienna Meeting successfully strengthened collaboration, set clear directions for the next project phases, and reinforced our commitment to sustainable solutions!
