BISON (H2020)

bison-projects_logo

The BISON project focuses on infrastructure development and preservation of biodiversity, respectively, in order to achieve social and economic well-being. Resulting from this, two issues should be considered:

  • Spatial relationships between infrastructure location and protected areas. The majority of the infrastructure development will likely occur within or around preserved areas and ecosystems with a high level of biodiversity. This may undermine past, current and future conservation investments if spatial planning is not carefully applied. Negative consequences could include the shift of species range due to climate change and the movement of key biodiversity areas (under legal protection or not), towards areas that are also considered to meet current infrastructure demands. Predicting these shifts and (re)designing infrastructure to enhance ecosystems’ resilience, in the context of climate change, can be enhanced by applied research to address these key challenges.
  • Innovations in project design can provide a safer and more efficient infrastructure network and reduce the negative impacts on biodiversity, particularly away from protected areas. In addition, upgrading or enhancing the efficiency of existing infrastructure (rather than developing new infrastructure) should be explored as a critical solution to mitigate further land-use change and ecosystem fragmentation16. The innovation potential in this sector is aligned with the European ambition of being a leader in creating green jobs.

V4RIT-SUARR

Logo V4RIT-SUARR

Three partners from Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia – IETU, IURS, SPECTRA with UA partner – NGU LEDA NET want to support reconstruction of Ukrainian regions destroyed by Russian invasion. Project partners have planned activities aimed at the most effective transfer of knowledge on various aspects of transformation (social, economic and environmental). Issues related to the development of regions in the future, post-industrial land repurposing (including post-mining assets), especially in the context of the environment and the quality of the life of the inhabitants, will be important. The facilities of the mining industry and other sectors can be an excellent potential for building post-industrial tourism, as it was done in the V4 countries (examples in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia). The project is intended to help cities and regions of Ukraine to plan and implement regional just redevelopment and transition, with aware people of Ukraine involved.

Three partners from Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia – IETU, IURS, SPECTRA with UA partner – NGU LEDA NET want to support reconstruction of Ukrainian regions destroyed by Russian invasion.

The project will organize study tour for stakeholders from Ukraine in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia and virtual schools for academia/students to transfer the knowledge and experience of V4 regions in transition, which will be crucial in the rebuilding of Ukraine.

Project management for EU urban transformation in the context of climate change and energy transition (PM4U)

pm4u_logo_2

“Project management for EU urban transformation in the context of climate change and energy transition" aims to address the challenges of effectively managing initiatives related to the transformation of urban areas in the European Union in the context of climate change and energy transition., by developing a Master's and PhD level module on project management for the EU urban transformation. The module is intended to provide students with knowledge and skills needed to effectively plan and implement such initiatives, and will focus on the application of project management principles and practices to real-world situations in the context of EU urban transformation.
