Smart Specialisation in the Context of Blue Economy – Analysis of Desalination Sector
-
One of the emerging blue economy sectors with considerable “greening” potential for a stable water supply in the ever-growing areas with increasing water imbalances is the desalination sector. This report aims at analysing the sector from the innovation, the EU policy and regional perspectives - in the latter with examples of implementation of desalination technologies in the three types of regions with specific water supply issues across Europe.

EarlY WArning System for Mosquito borne diseases (EYWA)
-
EarlY WArning System for Mosquito borne diseases (EYWA) is a prototype system addressing the critical public health need for prevention and protection against the Mosquito-Borne Diseases (MBDs) and lies under the umbrella of EuroGEO Action Group "Earth Observation for Epidemics of Vector-borne Diseases" which is led by the National Observatory of Athens / BEYOND Centre of Earth Observation Research and Satellite Remote Sensing.
The main objectives of EYWA lie with the need to offer a scalable, reliable, sustainable and cost-effective Early Warning System (EWS) relying on big Earth Observation (EO) data in conjunction with environmental, climatic and meteorological essential parameters, socioeconomic and population data, ecosystem and morphological related parameters, as well as epidemiological and entomological data to forecast and monitor MBDs

Adapting large-scale environmental projects to climate change while supporting climate objectives
-
Large-scale environmental projects often lack sufficient focus on the future impacts of climate change, and the results of successful projects may not be sustained if climate change continues. Austria has seen a considerably higher mean temperature increase (2°C since around 1850) than the global average (0

Climate Change Adaptation Techonolgies For Water - A practitioner’s guide to adaptation technologies for increased water sector resilience
-
It is already evident that climate change is affecting hydrological fluxes at all scales. Strengthening the ability to adapt to these changes in a way that mitigates hazards and risks to humans and the environment is vital for sustainable development. We already have the capability, however, to prepare for and avoid some of these hazards, however, those looking for appropriate solutions inevitably face the difficult task of identifying and evaluating a wide range of options. This guide aims to help address this challenge by providing the missing identification and evaluation assistance that those looking for adaptation solutions initially face.

Cultural Adaptations
-
Cultural Adaptations is an action-research project seeking to find creative, innovative and place-based methods to adapt to climate change.
Throughout history, societies have adapted to the local conditions of their physical environments, but the pace of climate change will create new challenges and opportunities for cultural organisations
