eRural resilience - Interreg BSR project’s Post

What is a rural area, and what is it not? Mats Stjernberg will give you the gist of a recently launched report that is exploring ways of categorising ruralities in Europe, based on their characteristics and features. Join #GRANULAR on 23 February to understand more about: 👉 rural diversity and functionalities 👉 current state-of-the-art rural typologies 👉 ruralities' roles and synergies with urban areas GRANULAR - Giving rural actors novel data and re-useable tools to lead public action in rural areas

🌍 Аs a researcher on the #HorizonEurope BEAMING PROJECT, Siniša Borota, Program Manager of the Program Green and Digital Transformation, provides insights into how the Institut za razvoj i inovacije – IRI plans to align BEAMING's results with the priorities of the European Research Area and assess Open Science practices at higher education institutions and research institutes. 🗨️ "Our role is to assess the current Open Science practices in higher education institutions and research institutes in the European Union and widening countries, to understand their strengths and areas for improvement, and to provide actionable recommendations for more effective adoption." 🔗 Read the full interview below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDUDABTp

"Defining an Action Plan for Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture": A training workshop in Brussels - 26th September 2024 For our final Conference, EFUA are organising an intensive half-day training workshop for city officials on 26 September 2024 in Brussels. The event, will help to foster cities’ initiatives in the field, through contributing to the design of effective planning processes and instruments. The EFUA team will share expertise, the H2020 Project results and set up a collaborative, hands-on exercise based upon the participants’ home cities. The expected outcome is to create a draft baseline for an Urban Agriculture Action Plan. The workshop is organized by Politecnico di Torino within the framework of the scientific context of the final conference of the EFUA H2020 project: www.efua.eu Coordination: Prof. C. Cassatella (Politecnico di Torino) Tutors: Cassatella C.,  Cotella G., Gottero E. (Politecnico di Torino), Jansma J. E.

🌍 Thrilled to Announce My Master’s thesis defense 🌿 I am excited to share that I have successfully defended my Master’s thesis in Sustainable Management and Climate-Resilient Agroecosystems. My research focused on the characterization and assessment of agrosilvopastoral practices in a rural community in Northern Tunisia, aiming to highlight the environmental and socio-economic importance of Sulla for restoring degraded land. The study site, heavily impacted by overgrazing and climate change, had suffered from soil degradation and loss of plant biodiversity. With the intervention of General_Directorate _of_Forests and ICARDA; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas , native species that are well-adapted to local condition of the site such as Sulla was reseeded showcasing their ability to restore soil fertility and enhance ecosystem resilience. As part of the project, I conducted a socio-economic survey with farmers to determinethe role of Sulla for their livestock feed by forage production, assessed biodiversity through the transect technique, and monitored the evolution of vegetation cover using VegMeasure Software. Special thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Rania MECHERGUI Mechergui, for her guidance and mentorship throughout this journey. I am deeply grateful to the National Institute of Rural Engineering,Waters and Forests INRGREF, ICARDA; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, General_Directorate _of_Forests, and CRDA Zaghouan for their invaluable support during my thesis project. This work has deepened my understanding of the importance of sustainable practices in supporting both the environment and rural communities. 🌱 #Sustainability #Agroecology #ClimateResilience #Biodiversity #SocioEconomicDevelopment #SoilRestoration #SocialInclusion

Introduction to the EnTrust MSCA Project Doctoral Candidates: I am Saeed Niksaz, currently a PhD student at Linnaeus University and a Doctoral Candidate (DC8) in the EnTrust Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Project Doctoral Network, which focuses on training the next generation of data executives. My research is "Developing a Socio-Ecological Value Scorecard for Farming" under the supervision of Dr. Fisnik Dalipi. I am also co-supervised by Professor Anita Mirijamdotter and Dr. Sadaf Salavati. The objective of my research is to create a tool that assesses both the social and environmental impacts of farming. This tool aims to help farms improve data sharing and enhance the value of their data through technological innovations. The scorecard will include measures for improving quality, reducing business costs, minimizing waste, and lowering CO2 emissions. #EnTrustMSCA, #AgriData, #New_Generation_of_Data_Executives, #EnTrustdn, #ResearchImpactEU, #H2021, #Linnaeus_University
