CARDIMED EU

🌍✨ Wellbeing Cities in Focus at the Hearth Summit Athens ✨🌍 The #HearthSummitAthens brought together thought leaders from across Europe to discuss the future of urban sustainability, with a special emphasis on creating cities that prioritize well-being. We’re proud to share that our coordinator Tadej Stepišnik presented a CARDIMED poster showcasing the project's work on nature-based solutions in urban demonstration cases across Zaragoza, Marseille, Ferla, and Nicosia. 🌿🏙️ Tadej highlighted how these solutions benefit residents and play a crucial role in building more resilient, sustainable cities. It was inspiring to see how nature-based solutions were a key theme throughout the summit! 🔗 Read more about the Hearth Summit and the CARDIMED project on our website and explore how we’re contributing to the creation of wellbeing cities for the future 👉 https://cutt.ly/VeLuFVBm #HearthSummit #WellbeingCities #NatureBasedSolutions #SustainableCities #CARDIMED #UrbanSustainability #ClimateResilience #CommunityBuilding #SustainableLiving NetworkNature EU Mission Implementation Platform for Adaptation to Climate Change (MIP4Adapt)

🚀 We successfully continued the #CARDIMEDworkshops! 🚀 The latest workshop for Demo 2, organized by #HALCOR in collaboration with CORE Group, and National Technical University of Athens, took place at the HALCOR facilities in Boeotia, Greece. 🌍💧 This session focused on exploring digital solutions for industrial symbiosis and smart water management, with valuable insights from participants shaping the future of sustainable manufacturing. 🔍 Read more about the workshop’s outcomes and its impact on our website! https://cutt.ly/VeLuFVBm #IndustrialSymbiosis #Sustainability #DigitalSolutions #WaterManagement #Innovation

Its digital tools encourage citizen participation and collaboration, fostering a shared understanding of the connections between water, energy, food, and ecosystems. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dAVsE9_6 These exchanges not only showcase innovative approaches but also highlight the importance of creating synergies. Together, we can integrate diverse stakeholders and approaches to tackle environmental and community challenges effectively.🌍 #MissionOcean #EUMissions #HorizonEU #DaWetRest

[SUR NOS CAMPUS] 🌿 Une opération de fauche tardive et sélective en faveur de la biodiversité sur le campus de Saint-Jérôme 🌸   Aujourd'hui, une opération de fauche tardive s’est déroulée sur le campus de Saint-Jérôme, dans une démarche visant à promouvoir la biodiversité végétale et à soutenir les insectes pollinisateurs. Ce mode d’entretien, privilégié sur l’ensemble des campus d’Aix-Marseille Université, offre aux pollinisateurs des ressources vitales issues des fleurs de fin de saison telles que la luzerne, le mélilot, la roquette et même quelques ronces.   En complément, une fauche sélective a été mise en œuvre pour préserver une partie de la flore locale spontanée. Cette approche s’inscrit dans le cadre du démonstrateur de désimperméabilisation du projet Horizon Europe CARDIMED EU, porté par LCE, auquel amU contribue activement via quatre équipes de recherche. Ce vaste projet comporte notamment l’implantation d’une micro-forêt urbaine sur le campus, une solution fondée sur la nature visant à compenser les effets du changement global, lutter contre les îlots de chaleur et favoriser l’infiltration des eaux de pluie dans les nappes phréatiques.   Déjà fin 2023, une première série d’arbres adultes a été plantée, et certains spécimens – peupliers, acacias, arbres de Judée et platanes – poussent spontanément. La fauche sélective permet non seulement de préserver ces jeunes arbres, mais aussi de minimiser l’impact sur les dispositifs de recherche en cours, tels que les inventaires floristiques, faunistiques et microbiologiques.   Cette coordination délicate entre exigences esthétiques, sécuritaires et écologiques a été rendue possible grâce à la collaboration étroite :      •  des services centraux de la DEPIL, représentée par P. Cinzia-Castaldo (référent des espaces verts amU)      •  du laboratoire d’écologie IMBE (Véronique Masotti, co-coordinatrice équipe EcoSoM),      •  des personnels du projet CARDIMED (M. Bertossi pour le SEMIDE).   Les travaux ont été réalisés par INVA, entreprise de réinsertion partenaire de longue date de l’Université, attentive aux directives spécifiques de ce projet.   Cette opération incarne une démarche exemplaire d’entretien responsable et durable, confirmant l’engagement d’amU et de la DDRS en faveur de la transition écologique et de la protection de la biodiversité. #Biodiversité #TransitionEcologique #Pollinisateurs #ChangementClimatique #ÉcologieUrbaine #Recherche #DéveloppementDurable #AixMarseilleUniversité #CampusVerte #FloreLocale #MicroForêt #SolutionsBaséesSurLaNature

Two weeks ago I was able to attend the "Agency of Knowledge – Whose Spaces, Whose Knowledges? Conversations about landscape, architecture, and urbanism" Symposium in Copenhagen, and had a brilliant day listening to a range of speakers from the arts, academia, the public sector, and citizens. Throughout, the clear theme of democratizing knowledge linked a range of disciplines, highlighting the need to deeply listen to different voices (especially those often unheard or excluded) and ensure representation not just in the words we speak but the places, cities and buildings we plan for, design, build and live in. Some crucial messages that I'm keen to explore further within my PhD and within the CARDIMED EU project! Thanks to BLOXHUB for organizing such an inspiring event!

¡Únete a nosotros para dar forma al futuro de las prácticas y herramientas resilientes al clima a través del proyecto CARDIMED EU! En esta actividad, organizada en formato de taller, trabajaremos en co-diseño de las soluciones digitales que se están desarrollando en el proyecto.
