Workshop #2 has been completed in the Practice Cases! In this Workshop, stakeholders explored (historical) narratives of land use, working to understand land use change over the last decades. This deep dive highlighted the intricate connections between environmental factors, governance decisions, and societal shifts driving land use changes, providing key knowledge needed to inform adaptive and sustainable land use strategies 🌿 Learn more the Workshop and how it was implemented in Provincia di Lucca, Parc Ela, and South Moravia (led by JINAG) here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e5bKhuhG #HorizonEurope #LandUsePlanning #TransdisciplinaryResearch CzechGlobe ISOCARP Institute | Centre for Urban Excellence IVM Institute for Environmental Studies Biobased Creations #plan4all KnowlEdge Srl Centre for Systems Solutions (CRS) Leuphana University of Lüneburg JINAG Région Ile de France Parc Ela Surrey County Council Euregio Meuse-Rhine Provincia di Lucca Regional Development Agency Green Karst, Ltd.

Baltic Studies Centre would like to highlight an exciting opportunity from our partners in the PREMIERE project ("Preparing multi-actor projects in a co-creative way"): Empowering New Horizons: The PREMIERE Seed-Funding Initiative for Horizon Europe The PREMIERE project is proud to share that the Seed-Funding Initiative will be submitting applications in less than a month. Submission will be open from December 1st 2024 to January 31st 2025, with a maximum funding amount of €6,000 available per applicant. Seed-Funding Initiative is supporting practice organizations during Horizon Europe (HEU) proposal development phase targeting 2025-2026 calls. It can give the newcomers a well-needed financial boost to join a consortium and participate actively in the preparation of the proposal. If you are a practice organization (e.g. EIP-AGRI Operational Group, LEADER local action group, farmer’s organization, NGO etc.) operating in an EU member state, and you are a first-timer in a Horizon Europe project, here is your chance to get involved! The funds can cover costs directly used for the aim of participation in a consortium and proposal development, e.g. personnel costs, communication costs, training and capacity building, participation in consortium meetings (travel and accommodation expenses up to 50% of total funding) and outsourcing specialized services. Further more, each funding recipient will get support from our PREMIERE mentors throughout the proposal writing phase. The PREMIERE project will also help you find a potential coordinator and offer additional support from our project’s abundant basket of products, such as brokerage events for finding partners, online academy and an online game to work on your skills as a partner in a multi-actor project. Take your chance Now! Visit https://lnkd.in/d-KPZzui for guidelines and application steps.

Hér står jeg med essensen af et flerårigt forskningsprojekt om digitaliseringen af politiet! Konkret i form af et "idékatalog", der ser nærmere på spørgsmål som bl.a. ansigtsgenkendelse, dataindsamling og overvågning - samt på de multinationale firmaer, der leverer it-platforme og teknologier på tværs af stater og lovkomplekser. Sammen med gode PROSA-kolleger som Ole Tange og Nicolai Scharling har jeg været redaktør på kataloget, og som den officielle kommunikationspartner for CUPP-projektet (Critical Understanding of Predictive Policing) har vi i PROSA - Forbundet af It-professionelle haft til opgave at formidle dialog mellem forskere, it-udviklere, myndigheder og civilsamfund. Vi er godt tilfredse med resultatet og ikke mindst idékataloget, der netop samler op på de vigtigste indsigter.

On the 24th and 25th of September, IN-HABIT partners from Nitra, Córdoba, and Lucca convened in Riga for the second General Assembly this year. Hosted by the Riga team in Kalnciema Quarter, the event brought together key stakeholders to discuss progress on deliverables and plan strategic activities for the upcoming year to meet remaining project objectives. Over the course of two days, attendees engaged in discussions, presentations, and workshops to develop solutions to current challenges and foster ongoing efforts to promote health and well-being in urban environments. Highlights include: - A workshop on Financial Innovation and Economic Viability, led by Peter Ramsden (The Social Research Centre), who presented novel funding approaches and facilitated group exercises to generate ideas on how to ensure long-term financial sustainability of initiatives established through the project. - A workshop on Community Psychology Research Methods conducted by the University of Córdoba (Universidad de Córdoba), which provided valuable insights into evaluating research and community engagement approaches. - A session on Exploitation Roadmaps for Key Exploitable Results, focused on developing strategies to effectively utilize key results and maximize their impact. - Discussions about the IN-HABIT app and gamification strategies. We extend our gratitude to all participants for their valuable contributions, as well as a special thanks to Kalnciema Quarter, Āgenskalns Market, and Lokāls Veldze for their hospitality. #INHABIT #Riga #UrbanHealth #InclusiveWellBeing #AcademicCollaboration
