The D4RUNOFF project’s goal is to create a novel framework for preventing and managing diffuse pollution from urban water runoff. This will be achieved by designing hybrid nature-based solutions (NbS) and a data-driven AI-platform to support policy and decision making.

The case studies have been identified for the implementation and validation of this approach in varying environments. The replicability of these results will then be assessed at five replication sites. The Las Llamas Park in Santander has been chosen as one of three case study sites as part of the D4RUNOFF project.

Nature-Based Solutions in schools: a green way to adapt buildings to climate change in Solana de los Barros, Extremadura (Spain)

The overall objective of the implemented NbS is to contribute to increasing the resilience of buildings used for education in the Extremadura region to the increasingly frequent periods of heat and water scarcity caused by climate change in southern European countries, improving the well-being of students and staff working in this type of buildings.

To achieve this general objective, this case study pursues a number of specific objectives:

  1. Improving the knowledge of NbS at building level.
  2. Analysing the cost-benefit of NbS as climate adaptation tools.
  3. ...

Comple-X.NET: Curated Nature Interdisciplinary Research Tour

What is rural landscape curation? How can nature be curated by sustainable science and technologies? From July 17 to 31, 2023,  we launched Curated Nature: Rural, Nature, Art and Technology - Interdisciplinary Research Tour, supported by Pro Helvetia. Swiss artists from the critical interdisciplinary group TETI visited rural villages and industrial sites in China, seeking innovative fieldwork based on artistic, anthropological, and scientific research.

During the project, Comple-X.NET ( founded by Xie Wen) in China aims to build an artistic and interdisciplinary bridge globally. We...
