["IPA-ADRION00373","Shaping new paths towards FUrniture circuLARity","The IPA ADRION area, due to the large variety of forests-based activities present, has been developing a strong tradition of furniture and furniture-related production. Nevertheless, the regions show differences in approaches and development and this lead also to different usage of local wood, post-production waste and post-consumer waste. SMEs, despite the different sizes and capabilities, are facing similar challenges to take on a greener and more sustainable approach within their production to meet EU strategies and guidelines and consumers too are asked to pay more and more attention to circularity and sustainability while purchasing products. The FULAR projects would like to tackle this challenge with the adoption of a transversal series of actions aiming at boosting circularity and uptaking of new solutions within the sector. The consortium, involving partners and associated partners from IPA and ERDF countries covering the quadruple helix, is set to find concrete ways to foster sustainability at a cost-effective level. Universities and research institutes, together with sectoral cluster organisations, development agencies, institutes of entrepreneurship development, competence centres from Greece, Italy, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia as part of the FULAR consortium will jointly work to implement tools that can be directly used targeting SMEs, academic networks, policy makers, consumers together with other relevant stakeholders. The transnational approach aims at fostering collaborations between the variety of actors and networks involved thus developing joint solutions that are relevant for the whole Programme area and that could be also transferred beyond the project’s regions. The planned actions foresee the involvement of the partners in the whole project implementation following a detailed result-oriented work plan. Starting from a specific study focused on how SMEs and consumers consider the importance of the implementation of circular approaches, together with an in-depth analysis of the best practices within the region involved, FULAR project will collect information regarding the overall perception concerning green transition and circularity in the IPA Adrion area. Moreover, thanks to the individuation of some of the best material solutions for sustainable furniture production (considering wood from local sources as raw material, secondary raw materials coming from post-production phase, and, finally, post-consumers materials), as well as, the identification of the most innovative and cost-effective technologies, FULAR will have reached a general framework for the application of the knowledge gathered into furniture production processes. To do so, a circular design contest and three material engineering international workshops will be organised to find innovative design projects for the application of circular models to furniture sector. The winning projects will be then prototyped and tested to demonstrate the feasibility of the application of the innovative circular solutions.\nSpecial attention will be dedicated to capitalisation of results with the adoption of a Beyond FULAR: dissemination and transferability plan.\nThe projects results are targeted to a variety of actors, such as SMEs, Experts, Local-Regional-National Public Authorities, Academic Institutions, Professional Schools, Business Support Organisation, Sectoral Agencies and other relevant stakeholders.\nIn conclusion, the FULAR project aims at fostering sustainability and circularity in the furniture sector of the IPA ADRION programme area ensuring positive effects on various horizontal principles such as DNSH and providing concrete joint solutions to tackle the circularity challenges of the sector supporting a greener economy development in the Adriatic Ionian region. The variety of actors involved in the consortium, together with the research and on field piloting actions planned, the concrete results FULAR aims at delivering together with the networks it aims to reach are all elements that will enhance new paths towards furniture circularity.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.6.

["IPA-ADRION00294","JOINt approAch to Blue circuLar Economy - for Adriatic and Ionian Region","The JOINABLE project represents a collective effort of nine partners from six countries (Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, and Greece), aimed at enhancing the development of a circular blue economy that is based on plastic waste collected from aquatic environments. A fact that remains largely unknown to the public is that waste found in aquatic environments does not enter the conventional waste management system. In other words, no one is officially responsible for its removal, and the cleanup efforts are reliant on the goodwill of volunteers. This scenario is the same across the EU as well as in the IPA countries. In the EU, waste is increasingly viewed as a resource, with efforts being made to find ways for its reuse to minimize the amounts sent to landfills, ideally aiming for zero waste. The situation in IPA countries is somewhat different, with ongoing efforts to find efficient ways to manage waste systems. \nAn innovative and novel aspect of the project lies in its pioneering approach to development of the blue circular economy. It seeks to establish a framework for the advancement of the blue circular economy within cities and municipalities where prospects for substantial new investments are limited. A robust network is being cultivated, engaging citizens as dedicated volunteers who undergo specialized training in the collection and meticulous sorting of waste from aquatic environments. Subsequently, this segregated waste is channelled to diverse small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that employ cutting-edge scientific methodologies to convert it into refined granules, which are subsequently transformed into a myriad of highly versatile products. The proactive involvement and endorsement of municipalities and cities in empowering these volunteers and SMEs ensure the vigour and sustainability of this burgeoning network.\nThis project aims to examine the current situation regarding plastic waste, including the regulatory frameworks, in each participating country. It will involve educating trainers on the use of digital tools and spectrometers, developing a methodology for cleaning and monitoring plastic waste, and creating a system that transforms plastic waste into new products. Additionally, the project will share knowledge with local and regional authorities and feed databases like EMODnet. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a comprehensive strategy for managing plastic waste in the ADRION region by fostering the development of the blue circular economy. This strategy will address the specific challenges and opportunities within the region, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste while promoting sustainable economic growth through innovative recycling and waste management practices.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.6.

["IPA-ADRION00457","GPP2ADRION: Fostering the adoption and implementation of GPP procedures to promote a transition towards a circular economy","GPP2ADRION aims to promote the adoption of Green Public Procurement (GPP) in the EUSAIR regions to overcome the barriers that hamper the transition towards circular economy. The European Commission (EC), in its guidance “Public procurement for a circular economy” (2017), states that the adoption of GPP, a process whereby public authorities seek to procure goods, services and works with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle, is needed to achieve EU environmental and circular economy (CE) targets. With a focus on EUSAIR regions, the EC according to the outcomes of “EUSAIR bringing the Green Deal to the region”, stated that to leverage the adoption of GPP, capacity building programs are needed specifically for non-EU-Countries. Therefore, the project will develop macro-regional solutions that will provide a common knowledge base within EUSAIR countries and boost the demand and offer of CE products and services. These can be achieved only through a transnational approach that will align different countries on the same GPP level of knowledge. The project will start from the definition of an effective capacity building package for the qualifications of GPP Ambassadors (regional experts on the topic), the creation of GPP regional Contact Points (to support Public Bodies and Policy Makers, including SMES in implementing GPP procedures) and a Transnational Network that will be established from PPs that will act as the overall guidance to further boost the application of GPP for CE on a common EUSAIR ground. On the annual EUSAIR Forum the Transnational Network will be launched and opened to Public Bodies and Policy Makers of the ADRION countries. This will set the ground for the adoption of a transnational plan for the diffusion of GPP in Public Bodies and Policy Makers. Public bodies and Policy Makers will directly benefit from project outcomes and will create a higher demand for circular economy products and services. Also, SMEs will benefit by implementing GPP criteria to innovate their offer of product and services.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.6.

["IPA-ADRION00389","Creating Resilient Areas to Develop Lifecycles and Ecosystem Services","The project CRADLES (Creating Resilient Areas to Develop Lifecycles and Ecosystem Services) is a collaborative project under the EU IPA ADRION programme that focuses on a holistic approach to restoration and conservation of nursery areas in the Adriatic-Ionian region. These areas are critical for the survival of numerous aquatic species (both vertebrates and invertebrates) and the overall health of the ecosystem, but are threatened by various environmental and anthropogenic impacts. The project aims to address these challenges through a comprehensive, transnational approach involving partners from seven countries in the region.\n\nThe common challenge addressed by the project is the restoration of nursery areas in the Adriatic-Ionian region that have been severely degraded by a combination of natural and anthropogenic pressures such as pollution, habitat degradation, and climate change. These pressures are common to all countries in the region, making it a shared challenge that requires a coordinated, multi-country response.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to improve the conservation of nature, biodiversity and nursery areas in the coastal and freshwater wetlands of the Adriatic and Ionian region. This will be achieved through integrated management and restoration of nursery area, on a scientific basis considering also the traditional management principles that have allowed these areas to be maintained as valuable biodiversity hotspots for centuries. The expected change is an improvement in ecological processes in these areas that will benefit both the species that depend on them and the human communities that rely on the ecosystem services they provide. The \"side effects\" of nursery restoration also include the potential improvement in carbon sequestration associated with the various management strategies adopted.\n\nThe main outputs of the project are a comprehensive restoration and conservation strategy for nursery areas, a series of pilot studies testing the effectiveness of proposed restoration actions, and a series of capacity building and knowledge transfer initiatives. Beneficiaries of these outputs include local communities, environmental non-governmental organisations, government agencies, academic institutions, and businesses in the Adriatic-Ionian region.\n\nA transnational approach is needed because the challenges facing nursery areas do not confine at national borders. The pressures facing these areas and the species that depend on them are common to all countries in the Adriatic-Ionian region. By working together, project partners can share knowledge, resources, and best practices and develop coordinated strategies that are more effective than isolated national efforts. In addition, a transnational approach is needed to cover the ideal gradient of nursery areas from freshwater to transitional and marine waters throughout the Adriatic-Ionian region.\n\nWhat is new and original about the project is its comprehensive, transnational approach to the restoration and conservation of nursery areas. While there have been previous efforts to address this issue, they have often been fragmented and limited in scope. This project brings together partners from seven countries, each with its own expertise and resources, to develop a coordinated, region-wide strategy.

["IPA-ADRION00447","Applied Solutions for Monitoring Coastal Habitats and Quantifying Blue Carbon Storage: An Integrated Approach for Sustainable Ecosystem Management","The BLUEQ project aims to address the critical conservation and management needs of blue carbon ecosystems, particularly the Posidonia oceanica meadows, situated in the Adriatic-Ionian Seas. From biodiversity and fisheries support to shoreline protection and water quality improvement, this species offers ecosystem services that are essential for the well-being of both marine and human communities and has been identified as a priority habitat type for conservation under the Habitats Directive (Dir 92/43/CEE). Posidonia is also a secret weapon in the battle against climate change. This remarkable marine seagrass absorbs more carbon dioxide than an equivalent area of the Amazon rainforest and stores it in underlying organic deposits, known as “matte”, for thousands of years. \nDespite their significance, they deal with threats including unregulated human activities, pollution, and natural disasters. These parameters are fully aligned with the territorial needs and challenges of the Adriatic-Ionian region, which struggles with soil, air, and overall loss of biodiversity. In response to these challenges, BLUEQ seeks to develop tailored solutions and a comprehensive Blue Carbon Strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian region. This strategy aims to raise awareness about the importance of blue carbon ecosystems in mitigating climate change and to secure transnational involvement in their long-term preservation. \nThe recent idea to use the carbon budget of these habitats towards national climate-change plans under the Paris Agreement is promising but hindered by missing data required for carbon offset methodologies. Significant uncertainties exist regarding the geographic distribution of Posidonia meadows and carbon stocks. The BLUEQ project comes to fill these gaps in scientific knowledge through the project’s Joint Pilot Action that will be implemented in 4 key study areas of the Adriatic-Ionian region representing different levels of anthropogenic pressure, environmental/ecological characteristics, and management approaches; the Karaburun Sazan National Marine Park (Albania) in the south and the Area of Special Characteristics of the Zut-Sit island group (Croatia) further north in the Adriatic Sea, and the east-west extremes of the Ionian Sea (Natura 2000 West and Southwest Crete; Plemmirio MPA in Sicily). The selected Pilot Action study sites are highly ecologically important, hosting several priority habitats and species. The BLUEQ Joint Pilot Action (Output\n\n1.1) includes detailed and accurate habitat mapping of the Posidonia oceanica meadows extent, in the case studies, using state-of-the-art remote sensing techniques, including satellite and UASs acquired high-resolution imagery. In-situ habitat mapping and carbon stock measurements will supplement the above images, creating a comprehensive dataset of high-resolution information, not currently available. The use of the acquired dataset in a GIS-based tool that converts the spatial extent of seagrass meadows to stored carbon units while at the same time providing several layers of information on habitat characteristics and services, such as biodiversity and ecological status, constitutes the BLUEQ Joint Developed Solution (Output \n\n1.2). The BLUEQ Joint Developed Solution will be tailored to the needs of decision-makers and will develop the roadmap towards a Blue Carbon Strategy in the Adriatic-Ionian region. \nThe development of the BLUEQ Joint Strategy (Output \n\n2.1) marks a comprehensive plan informed by the scientific outcomes of the project. It emphasizes utilizing the BLUEQ Solution as a decision-making tool within the framework of Maritime Spatial Planning, promoting best practices and innovative solutions, and envisioning the utilization of blue and green infrastructures throughout the Adriatic-Ionian region. The adoption of transnational, holistic approaches, in the BLUEQ Cooperation framework (Output \n\n3.1) enhances the formal cooperation among stakeholders including BLUEQ-associated partners under a long-term perspective (after the project lifetime) and empowers them through a building capacity program to effectively use the BLUEQ Joint Strategy and Solution. \nThe BLUEQ outputs are significantly aligned with the indicative actions of the specific objective \n\n2.3 aimed at conserving and enhancing the natural habitats of the Adriatic-Ionian region. Through the protection and restoration of Posidonia Oceanica meadows and the promotion of blue and green infrastructure, BLUEQ contributes to policy frameworks designed to safeguard sea habitats, including those under protected areas. Furthermore, the development and implementation of the BLUEQ Joint Strategy falls within the framework of Maritime Spatial Planning, aiming to safeguard biodiversity while addressing the territorial challenges in the IPA ADRION area.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.7.

Specifically, the first activity promoted by LP (as foreseen by the project plan) has been the organization of Local Round Table events by LP, PP3, PP4, PP6, PP7, PP9, and PP10, with the cooperation of the other PPs and APs. During these events, the current legislative framework, monitoring practices and methodological approaches, gaps, knowledge, opportunities, and needs for each specific Country in the EUSAIR Region have been discussed among different target groups to define a starting point summarizing all available information about the monitoring and conservation measures of sentinel species with a focus on the human pressure context. All target groups, as well as the knowledge collected during these events, have been detailed in Deliverable 1.2.1, delivered in this first Project Report (PR).\n\nRegarding Activity 1.1, a questionnaire was submitted to the partners to understand the available information at each local level, useful for the process of elaboration and analysis aimed at identifying areas of risk with respect to different anthropogenic pressures present in the Adriatic-Ionian basin. Moreover, an Excel format for the data collection of sightings, strandings, nesting, and other useful information has been provided, and several data has already been collected thanks to the PPs collaboration. In the framework of WP3, Activity 3.1, aimed at the development of the transnational network of organizations and stakeholders for the promotion of sustainable marine ecosystem management, has been started with the achievement of Output 3.1 (RCO87_2.3: Organisations cooperating across borders). This Output represents the collaborative framework that brings together the organisations that will collaborate transnationally under the Project. It consists of a document graphically summarizing project goals, network members, and countries. \n\nIn parallel to the Activities described, in Period 1, several meetings were organized by partnership and attended to achieve project goals and activities:\n-          SAMESEA Kick Off Meeting 18th September 2024, Venice, Italy (organized);\n-          Online training “Interact’s support to Interreg IPA Adrion project partners” 3rd October 2024 (attended);\n-          In-presence IPA ADRION 1st call projects Implementation Seminar 22th October 2024, Bled, Slovenia (attended);\n-          In-presence IPA ADRION Stakeholder Consultation on the future of Interreg 23rd October 2024, Bled, Slovenia (attended);\n-          Online Steering Committee meeting, 5th December 2024 (Management of the Steering Committee documents and meetings);\n-          2nd Transnational Project Meeting 27th February 2025, Pirano, Slovenia (organized);\n- Online coordination meeting among PPs to discuss updates of Activity 1.1., 13th March 2025;\n- Online Steering Committee meeting to approve work plan for Period 2 (WP1, WP2, and deliverables), and Deliverable 1.2.1.\nWithin the first and second reporting periods, several activities of the project were scheduled and implemented. Specifically, 3 activities started in the first period (A.1.1, A.1.2, and A.3.1) and the other two started and/or scheduled in the second period (A.2.1 and A.2.2). A very intense and continuous coordination activity characterized both reporting periods, as demonstrated by several meetings in person and online.\n\nIn the second reporting period, Activity 1.2 was completed, the A.1.1 is almost entirely completed except for the implementation of the R-Shiny digital platform, which requires final review by all partners before being submitted. Organizational and planning activities for Activity 1.3 were launched, and Activity 3.1, for which Output 3.1 (RCO87_2.3: Organizations cooperating across borders) had been delivered in the first reporting period, continued.\n\nActivity 1.1, coordinated by the LP, entailed the collection and sharing of georeferenced data of sightings of sentinel species and pressures (GPS position of sightings, effort, behavior, strandings, and nesting) through a shapefile and an Excel datasheet. This ‘source’ data serves as the basis for developing vulnerability and susceptibility maps in the Adriatic-Ionian Region, which are an integral part of Deliverable 1.1.1. At the same time, a synoptic document including a summary of information about national regulatory frameworks for the conservation and management of sentinel species, as well as monitoring protocols currently in use for each Country of the SAMSEA partnership, has been provided. This part is fully included in D.1.1.1.\n\nActivity 1.2, in Period 1, involved the creation of working groups to gather information on the needs, requirements, approaches, and methodologies used by the various local stakeholders involved in sentinel species monitoring and conservation (D.1.2.1 - Local Round Tables). In this second period, the activity aimed to describe the coordination model adopted by the SAMESEA partnership throughout all its phases. The primary objective is the ability to develop a model capable of addressing specific conservation challenges, adapting them to the needs of the macro-region. Therefore, LP shared with the partnership the creation of a questionnaire to identify the main anthropogenic pressures in the ADRION region and led the process of developing Guidelines for Transnational Monitoring of sentinel species (OUTPUT 1.1, RCO116_2.3: Jointly developed solutions), consolidating the monitoring practices to be tested in Activity 1.3 (WP3). This output is a significant milestone in harmonizing monitoring approaches to support conservation goals. All the information acquired in this activity has been included in Deliverable 1.2.2.\n\nRegarding Activity 1.3, planning and alignment meetings were held with all partners to define the implementation and coordination timelines for local events in Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, and Montenegro. Once the partners' availability was confirmed, a shared calendar of events was created. Information was exchanged on the monitoring protocols to be implemented and on the assessment of interactions between human activities and sentinel species. Furthermore, the need to involve all stakeholders interested in monitoring activities was highlighted to maximize collaboration and knowledge sharing.\n\nAlways in relation to the Second reporting Period, within WP2, Joint Development of the Transnational Strategy for Long-Term Coexistence, Activity 2.1 has been launched under the coordination of the Blue World Institute (PP2). This activity aims to collect and analyze existing knowledge from representatives of socioeconomic interests and sectors related to health, tourism, maritime transport and trade, fisheries, and offshore activities.

The challenges that PROMONT project is aiming at are:\n-to protect the unique ecosystems of the mountains;\n-to support the involvement and empowerment of local communities in the design of respectful\nregenerative actions;\n-to support the local economy;\n-to strengthen an international network of mountain stakeholders through capitalization actions.\n\nPROMONT project will:\n\n\n1. Test solutions to protect and restore flora and fauna in mountainous areas, also envisaging the use of green infrastructure.\n\n\n2. Identify and transfer good practices and innovative solutions addressing the preservation of native flora and fauna in terrestrial mountainous environments.\n\nPROMONT wants to foster a positive change of mindset about the human presence and its relation with mountain biodiversity: biodiversity and local communties will benefit from the success of the actions implemented by PROMONT, in the short and in the long term.\n\nPROMONT project will produce the following outputs:\n\n\n1. One common strategy and one common action plan jointly developed\n\n\n2. Six pilot actions developed jointly and implemented\n\n\n3. Twelve organisations cooperating across borders\n\nThe project will focus on selected local biodiversity of the six pilot areas, as a result of WP1:Preparing a common framework for regeneration of biodiversity in Adrion mountains. PROMONT will record/monitor the existing population of the selected species of flora and fauna and will create common action plans and strategy for the protection/regeneration of the population based on a common methodology and on common innovative tools to be adapted by all areas. The final step of the project will be to implement a capitalisation process in order to maximize replicability effects and to widespread the results of the methodology/action plans/strategy in order to achieve the wider possible capitalization of the results from other bodies/areas of common characteristics. \n\nA transnational approach is required since the threats to biodiversity in mountainous areas is common to all the areas of the ADRION and beyond. It is an international problem that must be solved by joining forces at international level. Rural mountainous areas are characterised by small public authorities governing large portions of territories, with scarcity of human and financial resources and with few opportunities to improve their capacities. The local administrations are lacking knowledge, tools and resources to face problems in their local territories: they are all facing common problems, such as citizens and visitors' bad behaviours, and thus need common tools to solve them. Thus PROMONT is giving to a selected group of local administrations/organisations which represents well the situation in several types of mountainous territories, an opportunity to share best practices, to improve know-how through the experiences and to test some tools created ad-hoc for their mountainous territory and their communities. This is an added value that they could never get acting alone. The transnational approach is also needed in order to maximize the scientific accuracy of the methodology to be used and of the tools to be used, taking into consideration data gathered from different areas with common characteristics.\n\nDuring the project, a number of innovative technological tools will be designed and developed. The scanning of the areas with ICT equipment (as drone-based special cameras) in order to clarify the dangers faced for the selected flora and fauna species, the involvement of all local stakeholders in all phases of the project, including decision making, the comparative analysis of the recorded data and the primary analysis in order to define the common characteristics to confront, are the main original approach elements. The activation of citizens and stakeholders will be accomplished with the series of local workshops and informative sessions that will inform them about the current state of biodiversity in the study areas. Moreover, the creation of GIS maps (open sources) in the study areas will provide information about (i) habitats (ii) human activities in the study areas. Finally, the proposed maps will also include digital databases of ecological and non-ecological parameters of the study areas and in the PLATEAU platform.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.7.

["IPA-ADRION00368","Local Authorities on the path to a sustainable Urban Mobility in the Adriatic/Ionian region","The project brings six municipalities of the Adriatic Ionian area to work together for the promotion of the cycling as a way of active transportation. \nThe six Municipalities decided to collaborate in order to answer together a very specific question; how can local authorities contribute to the promotion of cycling as an active way of transportation in the Adriatic Ionian area? \n\nThe answers comes taking into account the main factor that the local authorities are related to transportation: with the urban places for the actions of cycling that are provided to the public by the Municipalities. The local authorities aknowledge that the cycling activity is of major importance, as it is extremely beneficial for the transportation system of a city. Cycling can reduce the use of cars, can relief the local transport system and at the same time, it is an experience of exploring and feeling the environment, that can be even easier in our times thanks to electromobility. Taking into account the benefits of the natural environment thanks to the use of bicycle (reduction of CO2 emissions and other important benefits), the role of cycling is very important for the local authorities. This is the reason that the six Municipalities agreed to work on this topic. \n\nThe overal objective of the project is the support of cycling as a way of active transportation in six areas in the Adriotic Ionian region with the establishment of a concrete network of municipal authorities and the joint development and implementation of six pilot actions.\nThe project aims to benefit the general public/citizens of all ages of the six cities along with specific groups like the visitors, the working population and people with disabilities. Additionally, the EUSAIR strategy is a core element of the project, as it taken into account in order to explore its policy further. \n\nThe main outputs of the project are \n(a) consitution of a network of six municipalities that work jointly for a common goal, establishing a partnership that will last after the project's lifetime\nand \n(b) the joint development and implementation of six pilot actions (one per municipality) in order to test six ideas in six different cities of the Adriatic and Ionian region. \n\nThe project will have a transnational approach from the very beginning, as the partners will form two groups and will work together for their pilot actions and the creation of expanded network that will be provide feedback and new approaches through Living Labs. \nThis process is new for the Municipalities and will offer new expertise to its staff and its policy makers.\n\nIndicative Action: \n(a) Set in place joint actions aimed at promoting the active involvement of citizens, tourism actors and economic operators in the development of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs) both in cities and in functional urban areas;\n(b) Support the shift towards sustainable and accessible urban public transport and active modes (e.g.: cycling, walking) through the implementation of joint pilot actions, by also taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the electro-mobility revolution.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.8.

Led by the Municipality of Pella, the project successfully completed key start-up activities and achieved notable progress across work packages.\n\n\nCoordination, Governance & Financial Management\nThe Municipality of Pella, as Lead Partner, ensured a smooth project initiation by establishing project governance structures and tools. The project teams and Steering Committee were constituted, and the kick-off meeting was successfully organized in Giannitsa on 4 December 2024, setting the tone for collaboration. An internal digital workspace (Google Drive) was created to facilitate transparent documentation and cooperation.\nPella also managed financial workflows, including the setup of accounting systems and the transfer of advance payments to the 2 of the 3 IPA partners. Training and guidance were offered to ensure partners met visibility and reporting obligations. A dedicated project manager was contracted to coordinate implementation across the consortium.\n\nStrategic and Technical Update\nA major early achievement was the completion of Deliverable 1.2.1, defining strategies for each partner’s Living Lab—real-life testing spaces for mobility solutions. This strategic framework guides the municipalities in tailoring mobility improvements to local needs. Procurement plans were drafted by all partners, and several tendering processes were launched for pilot actions, infrastructure, services, and dissemination.\nIn Negotino, progress included registration with national authorities, hiring of project staff, and launch of several tenders, including the development of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the Procurement of a van for transporting disadvantaged citizens. \nIn Tešanj, the Development Agency of the Municipality (PP3) made significant strides in local engagement and dissemination. The project was prominently presented at the 18th Economy Fair in Tešanj, and public consultations were organized to discuss the SUMP. Tešanj also finalized tenders for organizing a local LAMO conference and other outreach services.\nIn Venice, the municipality focused on setting up administrative systems, coordinating departments, and preparing for its technical interventions. An internal working group was established and procurement procedures for Living Lab implementation and bike check activities were initiated. Venice actively participated in all transnational meetings, contributing to knowledge exchange and alignment of strategies.\nDuring this reporting period, the Municipality of Tirana had a close collaboration with the project partners participating in the online meetings, in the kick off meeting in Giannitsa, appointed representatives in the Steering Committee. It initiated internal legal procedures that were not completed during the reporting period, causing a delay in transfering the pre-financing and the delivery of the output for the action plan of the Living Lab in Tirana.\nIn Idrija, the Municipality focused on the action plan for Living Lab (developed) in a series of internal meetings where the project team defined the target groups, outlined the vision. The resulting action plan laid the groundwork for the future implementation of the Living Lab concept. It also delivered s a study aimed at identifying the optimal placement of charging stations for mountain e-bikes. In collaboration with the manager of the Upper Idrijca Landscape Park, the Idrija Tourism Board, the study examined various potential sites and ultimately proposed the most suitable locations.\n\n\nKey Achievements to Date\n-\tFormation of Steering Committee and project teams\n-\tKick-off Meeting in Giannitsa\n-\tCompletion of Deliverable 1.2.1 (Living Lab Strategies) \n-\tLaunch of multiple procurement procedures for SUMPs and Living Labs\n-\tExecution of public consultations in Tešanj and Negotino\n-\tSuccessful visibility initiatives. \n-\tEffective financial coordination and partner support from the Lead Partner\n\nAdded Value of Cooperation\nLAMO’s success so far lies in the shared vision and coordinated efforts of its partners. The collaborative framework allows each city or municipality to tailor mobility solutions while benefiting from common tools, expertise, and visibility mechanisms. This ensures that all interventions—from bike lanes in Negotino to community engagement in Tešanj and digital innovations in Venice—are aligned with broader regional goals and are more impactful than isolated efforts.\nMoreover, the project reinforces EU objectives on sustainability, inclusiveness, and digital transformation by bringing together partners with diverse experiences to co-develop replicable models for greener urban mobility.\n\nProject Progress Summary, Main Achievements, and Added Value of Cooperation\n\nThe LAMO project has made solid and coordinated progress toward promoting sustainable mobility and improving cycling conditions across the six participating municipalities. During the first two reporting periods, partners focused on preparing, designing, and initiating pilot actions, while also engaging local communities through communication and consultation activities.\n\nKey achievements include:\n\n1. Joint Development of Pilot Actions\n\nThe Lead Partner, Municipality of Pella, facilitated a unified approach by organizing a dedicated session on pilot actions and preparing a common presentation template (“pitch file”) for all partners. This ensured that each municipality could present, refine, and co-develop their pilot concepts with the support of the entire partnership. Pella also designed routes for its own e-mountain bike pilot and launched tender procedures for the required equipment.\n\n2. Strong Preparatory Work and Procurement Progress\n\nMost municipalities completed or initiated procurement procedures for their cycling-related equipment and services:\n\nNegotino contracted electric tricycles and a special transport van for disadvantaged citizens, while preparing additional cycling equipment tenders.\n\nTešanj (PP3) finalized procurement for bicycles, e-bikes, charging points, docking stations, and a bike-sharing management system. It also successfully delivered an Open Data parking application, enabling real-time mobility data collection.\n\nVenice launched its Bike Check initiative, establishing repair points and preparing public promotional events aligned with European Mobility Week.\n\nIdrija completed a detailed study for e-bike charging station placement and procured e-bikes and chargers for installation across the municipality and its protected landscape park.\n\nTirana reassessed its original pilot due to urban constraints and, after approval, redesigned its cycling intervention to focus on safer, greener recreational zones.\n\n\n3. Communication Achievements\n\nPartners implemented a range of communication activities including meetings, TV reports, social media campaigns, and press events. These efforts have already improved public awareness of cycling opportunities, the project’s goals, and the benefits of sustainable mobility.\n\n\n4. Added Value of Transnational Cooperation\n\nThe cooperation among partners has created clear added value:\n\nMunicipalities are co-designing their pilot actions, learning from each other’s approaches and challenges.\n\nThe Living Lab methodology (WP1) has encouraged participation from citizens, local organizations, and decision-makers, supporting shared problem-solving and future scalability.\n\nPartners exchanged knowledge on procurement, technical solutions, cycle safety measures, and community engagement strategies—ensuring higher quality and more consistent results across the regions.\n\n\nOverall Progress\n\nWhile most physical installations/cycling services/pilot actions will be implemented in the upcoming periods, the groundwork completed so far—technical studies, procurement, digital tools, behavioral campaigns, and joint planning—positions all municipalities strongly for the operational phase. The project is progressing in line with its objectives and is already creating greater awareness, collaboration, and readiness for a shift toward cycling as a sustainable mode of transport.","Idrija, Tirana , Venice, Tešanj, Negotino , Giannitsa","SI, AL, IT, BA, MK, GR",{"$nulls":5},6]
["IPA-ADRION00021","Green Corridors for Carbon-Neutral Cruise and Ferry Shipping in the ADRION Region","The GREENROUTES project addresses territorial challenges of the ADRION region in relation to the decarbonization of the maritime transport sector. Poorly developed port infrastructure for the storage and handling of different types of marine alternative fuels is one of the major obstacles in the process of sector’s decarbonisation process. Zero carbon (e.g. hydrogen, ammonia, electricity), low carbon (e.g. LNG, LPG, methanol) and carbon-neutral (e.g. biofuels as HVO) marine alternative fuels have huge potential for decarbonisation of the sector through retrofitting of existing ships or building new ones using those fuels. Thus, the GREENROUTES project focuses on the transition of the maritime transport in the ADRION region from using fossil fuels to utilising alternative fuels provided by ports with suitable infrastructure.\nThe overall objective of the GREENROUTES project is to contribute to a carbon-neutral and better-connected ADRION region by promoting decarbonization measures in the maritime transport sector. To achieve this, the project aims to facilitate the transition towards a carbon-neutral maritime transport sector in the ADRION region by providing a roadmap for establishing a green maritime corridor between two or more passenger ports within the ADRION region. These corridors will be built upon the adoption of marine alternative fuels for ship propulsion and the development of appropriate port infrastructure for its bunkering and handling. Advantageous starting points for maritime green corridors in the ADRION region could be cruise and ferry lines as a Short Sea Shipping mode and ports servicing these segments of maritime transport. Ferry lines and, to some extent, cruise lines can ensure a baseline demand for different marine alternative fuels. \nThe main outputs of GREENROUTES project include Strategy for the establishment of ADRION Maritime Green Corridors for cruise and ferry ships; Online platform for assessment of the total carbon emitted and carbon footprint per passenger of the cruise and ferry ships travelling within ADRION region, based on conducted pilot actions; Establishment of a network through the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation on the promotion of the building of green maritime routes by project partners in the ADRION region. \nInterreg IPA ADRION projects focusing on Priority Axis 3 have primarily aimed to achieve carbon-neutral ports and, to some point, to establish electricity connections for ships while berthed (cold ironing). Although this approach enables a reduction of carbon and pollutant emissions from ships during their berthing periods, it is limited to a number of ships depending on port capacities. The GREENROUTES project takes a step further by offering a region-specific roadmap for sustainable and carbon-neutral maritime transport in the ADRION region. This approach aims to tackle the issue comprehensively, not only by minimizing emissions within the ports but also throughout the entirety of the ships' routes between two or more ports. Therefore, the GREENROUTES project aims to promote the establishment of ADRION Maritime Green Corridors for cruise and ferry ships as a starting point toward reaching the overall goal – carbon neutral and better connected ADRION region. A transnational approach is needed to ensure collaboration and coordination among countries in the ADRION region to achieve these objectives and develop a comprehensive strategy. \nWhat is original and new about the GREENROUTES project is its specific focus on the ADRION region and its aim to drive the transition towards carbon-neutral maritime passenger transport in this region. The project's emphasis on developing Cruise & Ferry Maritime Green Corridors through strategic planning focusing on zero and carbon-neutral marine fuels, new marine propulsion technologies, and port infrastructure for support of novel technologies is innovative. In addition to strategy, an Online platform will provide a user-friendly interface for ship operators and stakeholders for calculating total CO2 (and other gaseous pollutants) emissions per route between two or more ports (including hoteling and manoeuvring modes at the port and cruising outside of the port area) and for calculating the ship’s carbon footprint per passenger transported along the same route. It will help cruise and ferry operators to monitor their progress in achieving carbon-neutral transport of passengers in the ADRION region.","2024-09-01","2027-02-28","(VI-B_IPA-A_3) Supporting a carbon neutral and better-connected Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO3.2.

These outputs include detailed assessments of maritime passenger transport within ADRION region, global and national regulatory frameworks, alternative marine fuels and propulsion technologies, and existing port bunkering infrastructure across the ADRION region. In addition, an online kick-off meeting was held at the very start of the project implementation, followed by an in-person Project Steering Committee meeting and a regional conference in Kotor, Montenegro. The conference served to validate findings from the first implementation period, promote knowledge exchange, and strengthen transnational collaboration among stakeholders.\nThe online kick-off meeting of the GREENROUTES project was successfully held at the very beginning of the implementation phase, bringing together all project partners. The meeting served as a platform to formally launch the project, align all project partners on the project objectives, structure, and timelines, and establish clear roles and responsibilities. Despite being held virtually, the meeting enabled efficient coordination, facilitated open discussion, and ensured a strong and collaborative start to the project.\nA detailed Report D1.1.2 on ADRION region cruise and ferry passenger transport (cruise and ro/pax ferry) provides an in-depth analysis of the existing landscape, offering a thorough overview of passenger transport, current cruise and ferry fleets, and the status of passenger port infrastructure. This report establishes a crucial baseline for identifying opportunities for the adoption of alternative fuels and necessary infrastructure upgrades.\nFurthermore, Report D1.1.3 on regulatory frameworks and initiatives for the decarbonization of the maritime transport offers a comprehensive analysis of the global, regional, and national regulatory landscape. By examining global initiatives such as the EUSAIR Strategy, the EU Green Deal, and the IMO Strategy, as well as national regulations, the project provides a clear understanding of the policy drivers and potential pathways for green corridor development in the ADRION context.\nThe project has also delivered a thorough Report D1.1.4 on marine alternative fuels and propulsion technologies for cruise and ferry ships. This in-depth analysis evaluates the potential and viability of various zero-carbon (hydrogen, ammonia), low-carbon (LNG, LPG, methanol), and carbon-neutral (biofuels) fuels, alongside alternative propulsion technologies like retrofitted marine diesel engines, wind propulsion assist and fuel cells.\nComplementing the above, Report D1.1.5 addresses the marine alternative fuels supply chain and bunkering infrastructure across regional ports. It provides a critical assessment of current facilities, prospects for their retrofitting, handling protocols, and associated risks. This analysis offers practical recommendations for future investment and infrastructure development in support of alternative fuel deployment.\nCulminating the initial phase, the consortium successfully organised a steering committee meeting and the conference in Kotor, Montenegro. The conference served as the platform for the preparation of Report D1.1.6 – Guidelines for Developing a Pre-Feasibility Study and Pilot Actions. These guidelines provide a structured framework for identifying and assessing viable pilot routes for green maritime passenger corridors in the ADRION region. The event brought together stakeholders and partners to discuss and validate the findings, promote regional dialogue, and enhance transnational cooperation. \nTogether, these deliverables represent a coherent and well-coordinated transnational effort that significantly advances the region’s strategic vision for low-emission maritime mobility. The value of the GREENROUTES project lies in its ability to integrate cross-sectoral knowledge, align with policy objectives, and create the necessary analytical tools and stakeholder consensus to support informed decision-making for sustainable maritime transport across the ADRION region.\n","Messina, DURRËS, Sarajevo, Zografou, Athens , Zagreb, Split, Bari, Podgorica, Kotor","IT, AL, BA, GR, HR, ME",{"$nulls":5},10]

The project's outputs will include the establishment of multi-actor working groups, joint development of solutions and pilot activities, and knowledge sharing at the transnational level with a focus on women whether they are public administrators or citizens. The project will benefit stakeholders such as public administrations (local, regional and national), citizens, and businesses in the participating countries, as well as policymakers and IT/digital experts.\nThe transnational approach is necessary to leverage the diverse expertise and resources of the partners, share experiences and best practices, and address local specificities. By collaborating across borders, PADRION will foster learning, identify successful approaches, and promote skills development for digital transformation. The project brings together stakeholders from different regions to create a collaborative environment that accelerates the digital transition and reduces inequality levels in the Adriatic-Ionian region.\nWhat sets PADRION apart is its focus on local digital agendas and its emphasis on tailored solutions for specific territories. By developing customized approaches that address local needs, the project ensures inclusivity and balanced development. PADRION also recognizes the importance of skills development, both for citizens and public administration employees, to bridge the digital divide and promote equal opportunities. PADRION comprehensive approach, transnational collaboration, and focus on local specificities make it innovative and relevant in the context of the Adriatic-Ionian region.\nIn piloting, local public and private organizations and citizens residing in the piloting communities will benefit from the use of innovative interventions, and after validation, the solutions will be ready for scale-up in other areas. Guidelines for implementing the PADRION model and for long term sustainability and scale-up will help policymakers at local, regional, and national levels. The adoption or scaling up of the solutions will be documented and presented as evidence through 1 joint action plan and the related Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).A permanent working group will be established to exchange information and experiences even after the project's completion.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_1) Supporting a smarter Adriatic Ionian region","RSO1.1.

The LP has ensured the effective governance and coordination of the project. To support early engagement and strategic alignment, PADRION partners participated in the Annual Thematic Communities Seminar held on October 3, 2024—an event organized by the Emilia-Romagna region and Lepida in the framework of the Regional Digital Agenda. Conceived as a preparatory moment to “warm up the engines” of the PADRION community, the event was made fully accessible online to all partners thanks to the simultaneous interpretation service arranged by Lepida. Two main governance bodies—the Steering Board (SB) and the Operating Board (OB)—were officially established during the in-person Kick-Off Meeting (KOM) in Bologna (December 3–4, 2024). The KOM represented a milestone in reinforcing strategic alignment, introducing the PADRION methodology, and consolidating work initiated during the Virtual KOM (September 18, 2024). During the in-person KOM in Bologna, Lepida coordinated 2 structured workshops:     1. Workshop Session 1: Partners analysed local, regional, and national digital strategies, highlighting gaps, best practices, and challenges;  2. Workshop Session 2: Partners collaboratively designed a possible PADRION model, focusing on concrete needs and solutions. The workshops resulted in a consolidated PADRION methodology, emphasizing stakeholder collaboration and digital policy frameworks.\nThe first three OB meetings, including the one held on February 26, 2025, supported partners in monitoring progress, defining deadlines, and reviewing deliverables. Under WP1 led by Lepida, all partners contributed to Activity A1.1 through mapping and analysing local, regional, and national digital strategies, identifying good practices, tools, and methods.

At the same days RWG organized the Info Day in Patras (18/12/2024), as a parallel session during the Kick-off meeting. Info Day initiates the formation of the Regional Blue Economy Network (RBEN) with the involvement of regional stakeholders and actors such as sectoral agencies, local and regional authorities, academic institutions and SMEs related to the blue economy. \n\nCoordination & Management is also supported during the 1st semester by 7 on-line coordination meetings (19.09.2024, 09.10.2024, 30.10.2024, 27.11.2024, 15.01.2025, 12.02.2025, 27.02.2025) that took place with the supervision of the LP-RWG, the technical guidance of PP2-UoP and the active contribution of all partners. \n\nWork Package 1: Analysis of the Blue Economy Ecosystem: all partners contributed to the implementation through methodological support, structured data collection and methodological alignment across activities:\nA1.1 – Analysis of the Blue Economy Ecosystem: PP2-UoP developed a methodological framework and data collection template and contributed to the draft analysis report for the LP-RWG. PP1-UoP also worked on a template for the establishment of the Transnational Cooperation Network. Partners provided regional report information. \nA1.2 – Labor Market Analysis: All partners contributed to the development of D1.2.1 – Methodology for Labor Market Analysis, designing standardized templates for data collection and reporting and supporting the identification of labor market trends and workforce needs under the coordination of UoP.\nA1.3 – Strategic Dissemination: Due to the delay in the appointment of the external expert by LP, the Communication Strategy (D1.3.1) has not been finalized. However, all partners contributed to preparatory regional activities (contacts with regional stakeholders ensuring strong communication and dissemination through multiple channels) to support future dissemination efforts, including content preparation for Adrion Website updates and the Social Media Campaign. During the next period, the Communication Strategy will be finalized, and the project website will start being powered. Despite delays in A1.3, progress in WP1 remains on track, providing a strong analytical and technical foundation for the project’s next phases.\n\nWork Package 2: Blue Economy Labor Market Analysis Solution and Pilot Project Implementation: all partners coordinated by PP2-UoP contributed to the initiation of the activities related to the development of user requirements and specifications for the online labor market analysis tool (A2.1), ensuring that the system captures relevant job market insights:\n-Developed the GROWTH4BLUE Data Collection & Reporting Guidelines, defining key parameters for portal selection, data extraction, visualization, and reporting frameworks.\n-Designed and distributed an online questionnaire to collect input from partners on job market trends. \nDuring this reporting period, the GROWTH4BLUE project demonstrated strong progress in building the analytical, operational and cooperation foundations necessary for strengthening the competitiveness and sustainability of the Blue Economy in the Adriatic–Ionian region. The project generated key studies, launched the development of innovative digital tools, initiated the creation of regional and transnational cooperation networks, and greatly enhanced stakeholder awareness of new economic opportunities related to maritime and coastal development.\n\nA major achievement was the full completion of Work Package 1, where partners delivered the first common knowledge base of the Blue Economy in the area. Deliverables D1.1.1 and D1.2.1 provided a detailed analysis of sectors, innovation trends, labour market characteristics, skills needs, challenges and future opportunities. The studies were based on contributions from all partner regions using shared methodologies, enabling direct comparison between territories for the first time. These reports offer valuable insights for decision makers, training providers and businesses, while forming the evidence base that informs all subsequent activities and policy development. WP1 also established a strong project identity and communication framework, including a dedicated website, content for the ADRION platform, newsletters and social media campaigns, ensuring wide visibility from the start.\n\nIn Work Package 2, partners moved from analysis to practical solutions by starting the development of a digital system that can process, visualise and report online job postings related to Blue Economy professions. After gathering user requirements and specifications, work began on the two main components: the data-crawling software and the online reporting dashboard. Once completed, this tool will provide real-time insights into labour market dynamics, helping policymakers monitor workforce needs, supporting employers in identifying emerging trends, and offering jobseekers and training institutions valuable information on required skills. Alongside this, partners intensified awareness-raising activities through information days, promotional materials and online dissemination, preparing stakeholders for the upcoming pilot testing phase.\n\nWork Package 3 focused on building long-term governance structures for strategic cooperation. Partners mapped regional stakeholders, drafted and validated a common Memorandum of Understanding and launched the first Regional Blue Economy Networks (RBENs). Meetings have already taken place in several partner regions, including the Region of Western Greece, Macedonian Chambers of Commerce and TNO, bringing together public authorities, SMEs, research bodies, educational institutions, business support organisations and sector associations. These meetings introduced RBEN objectives, discussed priorities such as skills development, innovation and sustainable growth, and encouraged collaboration and joint initiative planning. In parallel, preparations advanced for the official launch of the Transnational Blue Economy Network (TBEN), which will serve as a macro-regional cooperation and policy coordination platform aligned with wider EUSAIR and European strategic goals.\n\nThe added value of transnational cooperation is already clear. Partners are adopting shared tools and approaches, generating comparable data, and benefiting from each other’s experience in building innovation capacity, supporting SMEs and strengthening maritime economic ecosystems. Joint practices are helping less advanced regions learn from more experienced territories, while the shared knowledge base ensures accountable and evidence-based planning. Communication and dissemination efforts are reinforcing this impact by ensuring that knowledge and tools produced in one region are accessible to all.\n\nOverall, GROWTH4BLUE has successfully completed its analytical stage, initiated practical solution development and taken significant steps toward establishing permanent cooperation structures. With strong networks, shared methodologies and active stakeholder engagement already in place, the project is well positioned to proceed with the development of strategies, action plans, pilot activities and large-scale adoption of results in the upcoming phases of implementation.","Skopje, Podgorica, Koper, Belgrade, Valenzano, Patras","MK, ME, SI, RS, IT, GR",{"$nulls":5},7]
["IPA-ADRION00228","Thematic Innovation capacity toward green development","The overall objective of THEMATIC2 GREEN is that of promoting innovation capacity for green development based on cultural and natural resources, tackling emerging environmental and social challenges.\nThe main outputs will be produced by parallel actions in 3 main directions, all needed and interdependent to ensure a significant impact at territorial level: \n- Enhancing entrepreneurial capacity to secure environmental sustainability of local systems\n-Promoting capacity of public and private bodies to identify threats and local impacts of climate change, and the adaptation strategies that can preserve economic development and social sustainability of the green transition. \n-Promoting development of renewable energies production, distribution and consumption. \nIn these 3 Themes the project will produce pilot actions and joint solutions, a joint strategy for renewable energy communities development, a permanent cooperation network. \nProject targets and final beneficiaries are the territories in the ADRION macro region, in coastal and mountainous areas, with some common structural features:\nRich of natural resources and diverse cultural heritage\nA small population largely dispersed in rural villages \nEconomic systems with a relevant share of agriculture and tourism, based on micro companies.\nA significant vulnerability to climate change impacts, increasing sea level, coastal erosion, extreme meteorological events. \nThe partnership of THEMATIC2GREEN includes Higher education bodies, business support agencies, local administrations, development agencies, from all over the ADRION regions, generating synergies and complementarities that will be capitalized in a permanent cooperation network that will look far beyond the project time horizon. \nTHEMATIC2GREEN innovative approach will be based on a quadruple helix model, moving in parallel on three main directions for the green transition: environmental quality promotion and certification of economic activities, efficient renewable energy production and consumption, adaptation to climate change impact of vulnerable economic activities. \nThe outputs will include pilot actions in each of these directions, joint solutions, and a Joint Strategy \n\nIn the next years, SMEs, public institutions, NGO, in coastal areas, in mountain territories, in historical towns of lagging behind regions, will face some common gigantic challenges. \n- Preventing or reducing natural resources and historical heritage degradation while ensuring sustainable development and the creation of jobs and income opportunities in marginal territories. The challenge for these communities is that of improving environmental sustainability in parallel to social sustainability.\n- Reducing the use of energy based on fossil fuels, at the same time increasing efficiency and environmental sustainability of renewable energy production and distribution. This theme is specially complex in the marginal areas rich of natural and cultural heritage and a low population density. In these territories the production of energy from renewable resources is specially challenging because of the costs of production and distribution, and the environmental impact are relevant also for renewable sources. e.g., the environmental impact on landscape of wind mills and solar-energy, the impact on air quality and agricultural land of energy power centrals based on biomass, the impact on landscape of distribution grids. \n- Adapting to climate change and mitigating its impacts on economic and social activities in these areas. Cultural services, cultural and, naturalistic tourism, agricultural non food productions, other services to consumers, will be forced to adapt to the climate changes processes already observable, or expected in the short and medium period. SMEs, public and private services providers, and the same consumers, will need to adjust production processes and product innovation to mitigate the impact of climate change. \nMany opportunities are emerging in this scenario, starting from the inclusion of the communities of these areas, in the European strategy for a green future. (EU Green deal), and the Macroregional strategy for sustainable development EUSAIR.

["IPA-ADRION00166","Promoting ESG principles and healthy nutritional habits to increase competitiveness, market diversification and effective communication for consumers in Adriatic-Ionian aquaculture and fishery sectors","Aquaculture and capture fisheries are the source of healthy and nutritional products for human consumption, rich in proteins, essential omega-3 fatty acids and bioavailable micronutrients, as well as employment and economic benefits for all stakeholders involved. The Adriatic-Ionian region contributes around \n\n3.4% of Europe’s total fish and shellfish production with around 600 thousand tonnes produced in 2022, of which \n\n52.8% was attributed by aquaculture sector. This sets a strong foundation for the blue economy development in the region, however planning for sustainable future involves many environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges to be solved if the aquatic food sector is to live up to its potential. In the Adriatic-Ionian aquatic sectors there is a general lack of tools and methodologies to properly evaluate and communicate health, environment and social good practices and impacts to consumers and leverage them as a business strategy. As aquatic resources in the region are shared across the Adriatic and Ionian seas, cooperation among states is an essential and unavoidable requirement to develop efficient management strategies, considering the geo-political specificities and legal and administrative framework of each country. FISHIMPACT will promote actions supporting the development and modernization of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the fish industry through the introduction of quality and sustainable requirements. \n\nFISHIMPACT project will collect state of art information on the available labels and certification systems on the national, EU and IPA markets concerning environmental, social and health performances of aquaculture products, develop a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) regarding ESG standards, sustainability as well as health and nutritional values of the products, and incorporate all these in a self-evaluation online multi-lingual tool. This tool will be validated with a cohort of end-users and stakeholders. Training schemes for the industry about PEF/LCA, circular economy, environmental labels and other relevant issues for the sector will be provided.

Following the kickoff, PPs held several online meetings, including dedicated sessions for WP1, 2, and 3, addressing future tasks and responsibilities, ensuring a cohesive and coordinated approach to project implementation. \nUnder A1.1, PPs jointly investigated the state of the art concerning labels, certifications, and claims related to environmental, social, health, and nutritional aspects in the fishery and aquaculture sectors. Each PP was responsible for compiling comprehensive lists of labels and certifications used by companies in their respective countries to assess and communicate performance in these areas. The activity leader ENEA coordinated the process, and ensured a harmonized methodology in mapping relevant schemes and claims present in national markets. Additionally, during the kick-off ENEA led a brainstorming session using the Slido tool, during which country-based partner groups addressed several key questions to support the definition of Deliverable 1.1.3 (Adriatic-Ionian stakeholders map) and to contribute to preliminary WP3 activities. Discussions focused on identifying potential stakeholders in the fishery and aquaculture sectors, their relevance to the project themes, and their current level of engagement; mapping national value chain segments; and recognizing other projects with similar objectives to explore possible synergies. These collaborative efforts laid the foundation for a detailed overview of existing labels, certifications, and claims, and provided an initial mapping of key stakeholders and value chain components relevant to the fishery and aquaculture sectors in the Adriatic-Ionian region.\nAs part of Activity 1.2, CIBU developed a guiding document to support the collection of data and feedback from all PPs, to identify key health and nutritional indicators for integration into sustainable, evidence-based food labeling schemes. This work involved: (1) reviewing existing research on the health benefits of seafood consumption; (2) compiling a list of key finfish and shellfish species present in the region; (3) proposing a preliminary set of nutritional and health-related indicators (omega-3 fatty acid content, protein quality, essential vitamins, and minerals); (4) comparing the nutritional profiles of wild-caught versus farmed seafood; and (5) initiating the development of Health-Related and Nutritional Guidelines on Fish and Shellfish Consumption. These guidelines address the health benefits of seafood, nutritional differences between wild and farmed fish, socio-demographic consumption patterns, and provide recommendations for safe and sustainable consumption. Furthermore, CIBU, with feedback from all PPs, developed a consumer questionnaire aimed at collecting data on consumer perceptions and behaviors regarding health and nutritional aspects of seafood consumption.\nAs part of Activity 1.3 led by UNIST, the project focused on the development of a Future Training Syllabus aimed at equipping current and future professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive sustainability in the fishery and aquaculture sectors. This training initiative is designed to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into sector-specific education. Structured into four key modules, the course will foster a comprehensive understanding of ESG strategies and their practical implementation, aligning with the EU’s goals for a sustainable blue economy.\nUnder 3.1, as part of the project’s capacity-building and outreach components, strategic planning was initiated for the development of webinars and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This planning phase aimed to ensure that these educational tools are aligned with the project's broader goals and effectively target relevant stakeholders. \nIn parallel, NOA initiated Activity 3.2 by developing Sustainable Practices Platform. A successful 1st Sustainable Practices Platform meeting was held, marking the platform's role in identifying relevant projects that can organize joint thematic meetings, foster synergies, and facilitate networking with other ADRION 2021-2027 projects.

["IPA-ADRION00298","Sustainable and Seamless Waterways Bridging Adriatic-Ionian region","WATERBRIDGING boosts the sustainability and the seamless integration of the maritime and inland waterways (IWW) connecting the Adriatic-Ionian (AI) region, to enhance the Motorways of the Sea (MOS) as efficient and smart alternative to land transport. The project insists on the indicative action “Enhance the development of the Motorways of the Seas (MoS) concept as an alternative to overstretched land transport (…)”. WATERBRIDING strengthens the role of the AI waterways as a bridge for the connections within the territories of the macro-region and beyond, by upgrading the environmental and digital performance of maritime and IWW nodes involved. The project faces common challenges such as disruption of the logistics transport chain and the still limited application of environmental approaches that hinder the creation of a seamless and competitive waterborne transport system as pursued by the EUSAIR flagship. In fact, the integration of digital services based on real-time data collection is a pre-condition to reduce the fragmentation of the logistics chains, while the exploitation of alternative fuels and OPS technologies for the greening of the waterway transport is a common challenge to contribute to the decarbonization of transport. To overcome the challenges, the partnership develops traffic flows studies, preparatory studies and Pilot Actions on two pillars: digital services for seamless integrated A-I MoS and IWW and sustainable practices for decarbonization of A-I MOS and IWW. The Outputs consist in the co-design of 12 Pilot actions on deployment of alternative fuels and OPS and on application of digital services to improve the integration of IT systems, and to 14 codeveloped solutions as leverage for concrete investments of the pilot actions.

This involved establishing the project's core management structure, initiating key technical tasks, and setting up foundational communication strategies.\nEstablishing the Joint Methodological Framework (Deliverable D1.1.1): A significant achievement was the completion of Activity 1.1, which resulted in the Joint Methodological Framework. This framework, drafted by CERTH and developed through active collaboration and feedback from numerous partners including ADSPMAC, IPA S.A, KIP, LUS, UKIM FME, STP NS, and POB, sets the common approach and guidelines for analysing maritime and inland waterway traffic, identifying digital service gaps, and assessing potential for alternative fuels and Onshore Power Supply (OPS) across the Adriatic-Ionian region. This deliverable is foundational for much of the project's technical analysis in Work Package 1.\nInitiating Key Technical Analyses (Work Package 1): Building on the methodological framework, initial steps were taken in critical areas. Partners, led by CERTH, began preparatory activities for traffic flow studies, digital service gap analyses, and assessing the potential for alternative fuels and OPS. Partners like ADSPMAC contributed specific analysis for central Adriatic ports under the competences of ADSPMAC and LUS initiated data collection for the Port of Split. These efforts are vital for understanding the current situation and identifying opportunities for improvement.\nDeveloping the Communication Strategy (Deliverable D3.4.1): ADSPMAC, as the Lead Partner, developed the project's communication strategy. This deliverable outlines how the project will share information, engage stakeholders, and disseminate its results. This establishes a clear plan for ensuring the project's findings reach the right audiences.\nSuccessful Kick-off and Consortium Setup: The project formally began with an online Kick-off meeting on November 4, 2024, involving all partners. This meeting clarified roles and responsibilities within the work packages and reviewed the project's scope and objectives. This early alignment was crucial for a smooth start.\nLaying the Groundwork for Pilot Actions and Future Strategy: Preparatory activities were undertaken for Work Package 2 (Joint Pilot Actions) and Work Package 3 (Communication and Capitalization). This ensures partners are ready for the more technical and strategic work ahead, including testing digital services and sustainable practices, and planning the transnational action plan and network.\n\nThe added value of the cooperation is evident in the collaborative development of the joint methodological framework. Partners from different countries and with diverse expertise came together to create a shared foundation for analysis that applies across the Adriatic-Ionian region. The lead partner, ADSPMAC, effectively coordinated initial activities and communication among the consortium members, ensuring a common understanding and unified start despite the diverse group. Preparing for the first in-person meeting in Novi Sad also highlights the ongoing cooperative effort to plan and coordinate future phases. Although this was primarily an administrative and preparatory period, the collective engagement in setting up the project's structure and defining the analytical approach through joint efforts has created a strong base for achieving the project's goals of enhancing sustainability and seamless integration in regional maritime transport.\nThe project is currently advancing from the analytical phase to the crucial stage of implementing and testing solutions, ensuring the Adriatic-Ionian Motorways of the Sea (MOS) and Inland Waterways (IWW) network progresses toward both sustainability and seamless integration.\nThe foundational analytical framework established in Work Package 1 provided the essential cross-border intelligence required for subsequent technical testing. CERTH, as the Work Package 1 leader, coordinated the development and submission of the Joint Methodological Framework (D.1.1.1), which provided standardization for all partner analyses. Although Work Package 1 is not yet concluded, as the transnational reports and joint benchmarking reports are still due, the required local context analyses (D.1.2.1, D.1.3.1, D.1.4.1) have been finalized by the partners, successfully mapping the initial state of the network across 9 seaports, dry ports, and river ports.\nThis collective work identified key impediments to efficiency and decarbonization:\n- Digital Integration: Analysis determined that the primary barriers preventing seamless digital interoperability between port and road traffic systems were often organizational and regulatory, rather than a mere absence of technology.\n- Decarbonization Potential: Technical analyses provided port-specific readiness assessments regarding the adoption of alternative fuels and Onshore Power Supply (OPS), forming a clear baseline for necessary infrastructure investments.\nBuilding on these findings, Work Package 2 successfully entered its execution phase by defining the scope for 12 planned pilot actions (Output 2.1) aimed at addressing the identified gaps. This phase resulted in the delivery of the Joint Pilot Action Kick-off Reports (D.2.1.1 and D.2.2.1), setting transnational objectives and technical roadmaps for two distinct pillars of modernization:\nOne pilot action focuses on leveraging new digital technologies to integrate the fragmented logistics chain. This includes the conceptualization of a Truck Appointment System (TAS) tailored for Danube ports (STP NS), the definition of interoperable Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms to integrate real-time traffic data from ports, motorways, and roads (ADSPMAC), and the acquisition plan for a Web-based Cargo Management System (CMS) to enhance operational efficiency (IPA SA). The collective ambition of these efforts is to create transparent and traceable digital flows in the Eusair region and in particular on the east-west dimension.\nThe second pilot action is designed to guide crucial infrastructure investment in reducing ports and maritime emissions. This includes comprehensive technical studies (ADSPMAC) designed to create guidelines for strategic investment in alternative fuels, aligned with national recovery and resilience plans and EU regulatory frameworks, alongside technical and economic assessments (CERTH) and specialized models for alternative fuel adoption (KIP, POB).\nIn parallel, Work Package 3 achieved its immediate strategic objective by ensuring robust communication and capitalization structures were established from the outset. ADSPMAC delivered the WATERBRIDGING communication strategy (D.3.4.1), which was formally approved by the consortium. This planning immediately facilitated transnational result widespreading (Activity 3.4), a scheduled activity that was proactively advanced due to strategic opportunities. This included participation in major international events, such as the Logistics & Transports Expo in Thessaloniki and the Transport Logistic Fair in Munich, Germany, ensuring the project's strategic goals and pilot actions were showcased to a critical audience of stakeholders, enhancing the visibility of the transnational cooperation effort and contributing early to the EUSAIR \"Smart and Green Ports\" flagship initiative. This cooperation ensures that local technical achievements contribute directly to a unified vision for a sustainable, carbon-neutral, and better-connected Adriatic-Ionian region.","Bar, Novi Sad, Skopje, Split, Rijeka, Thessaloniki, Igoumenitsa , Ancona","ME, RS, MK, HR, GR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

["IPA-ADRION00289","Improving Sustainability of Sports Facilities and Events through Circular Economy","The UN has launched the Global Climate Action: Sports for Climate Action Framework and the Football for the Goals Initiative, highlighting the complexity of sports’ impact on climate, the difficulty to measure the impact, and its importance for the achievement of sustainable development goals. Furthermore, most sports organisations and fans would now acknowledge that sports’ contribution to climate change is considerable. On the other hand, sports’ global interest for billions of fans and the media coverage generated in response, provide a strong platform for the sector to play an exemplary role in meeting the climate change challenge and inspire large audiences to do the same. The EU Work Plan for Sports 2021-2024 acknowledges the role of sports in Environment and the fight against climate change, portraited under “Priority Area: Socio-economic and environmental dimensions of sport” and the key topics of “Green Sport”, “Sport facilities” and “Major Sporting Events”. In 2021, the EC launched the Expert Groups on Green Sport, focusing on developing sustainable sport practices in Europe. Also, the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) launched by the EC in 2020 is one of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal and includes actions directly related to sports that refer to buildings' sustainability, recycling, reducing waste etc.\n\nMoreover, UEFA, the leading sports association in Europe has created its “Strength Through Unity– Football Sustainability Strategy 2030” including 4 key environmental policies: 1) Circular Economy (CE), 2) Climate & Advocacy, 3) Event Sustainability and 4) Infrastructure Sustainability. In 2022, UEFA launched its “Circular Economy Guidelines” identifying 4 areas of activity: 1) Food & Beverage within football organizations, facilities and events; 2) Energy & Water regarding active and passive energy, renewable energy, water cycle; 3) Apparel & Football Equipment and 4) Event Materials including signage, brand production, furniture & IT equipment.\n\nThe ADRIONOSPORTS project aims to contribute to the climate change struggle and the European Green Deal goals, inspired also by UEFAs’ Sustainability Strategy 2030 and CE Guidelines, by improving the sustainability of sports facilities and events through CE principles.\n\nIn the sports sector, events face big challenges in terms of climate change, resources and waste management. Carbon emissions that contribute to climate change are a significant issue for these events. Large amounts of waste are produced during events, while energy consumption to power facilities and water consumption for toilets and to irrigate the fields and nearby areas put more pressure on the environment. On top of these issues, we should also consider the consumption, waste and pollution produced when constructing new buildings, parking lots, apartments and other structures that are linked to sport events.\n\nADRIONOSPORTS proposes a holistic approach, in line with UEFA’s 4 key environmental policies and CE Guidelines, that aims to address collectively the challenges under these topics and create a benchmark for sustainable sports facilities and events. The project builds upon the concept of CE to propose sustainable ways of improving the ecological footprint of sports events and facilities, following the 4 CE principles (4R): Reducing – Reusing – Recycling - Recovering.\n\nThe ADRIONOSPORTS transnational partnership will share and valorise past experiences with the aim to jointly: a) develop a Joint Strategy & Action Plan for adopting CE principles in sports facilities and events, b) implement pilot actions showcasing the benefits brought by CE, c) build stakeholders’ capacities through the ADRION Circular Economy Academy and d) create a Toolbox for Green Sports Facilities and Events to be utilised by entities beyond the partnership in the ADRION area and beyond.\n\nTransnational cooperation is required to complement and expand knowledge on project topics and to overcome limitations of regional and national markets. This cooperation is enhanced by the support of UEFA, contributing with its “Football Sustainability Strategy 2030”, and ensuring extensive capitalisation by National Football Associations, their members and UEFA’s stakeholders’ network.\n\nThe uniqueness of the project lies on a) its focus on the sports sector that - although a huge waste producer - has not been targeted so far by projects at European or even national level, despite its popularity that can significantly inspire and influence other sectors (incl. public administration) and individuals, and b) the strong commitment and support of UEFA safeguarding also project replicability and transferability.\n\nADRIONOSPORTS is part of the indicative actions: \"Identify and implement transnational action plans and strategies to enhance and/or scale up CE at regional/national/macro-regional level\".","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.6.

They also began mapping stakeholders likely to be involved in or affected by CE interventions in sports facilities and events, as preparatory activities for the systematic assessment of the existing situation of CE in sports facilities and events (Activity 1.1).\n- WP2 (led by PP2-TREK): The groundwork was laid for assessing the feasibility of planned pilot actions. To ensure momentum in WP2 activities, the project initiated the activity of verification of the physical sites where the CE interventions will be implemented by the partners as part of their Pilot Actions, through the conceptualisation of the verification approach and distribution of a standardised template for the “Verification and Justification of Selection of Pilot Sites,” enabling partners to conduct this initial feasibility step in a structured and consistent manner (Activity 2.1).\n- WP3 (led by PP3-CERVIA): Work began on initial considerations regarding the Toolbox of Good Practices in CE. A template was developed for collecting and documenting innovative CE applications in sports infrastructure and events, which will contribute to knowledge transfer and replication potential.\n- WP4 (led by LP-CRETE): Communication activities (Activity 4.3) were launched, including the design of a project poster, initial social media visibility, and promotion of the project and Kick-Off Meeting by partners. Under Activity 4.1 “ADRION CE Academy”, initial stakeholder mapping began for the forthcoming Circular Economy Academy, while Activity 4.2 “Capitalisation Activities” saw the identification of key target groups for capitalisation efforts. These actions are essential for ensuring broad visibility and long-term impact.\n\nThe joint efforts of transnational partners and the harmonisation of tools and approaches during this start-up phase have ensured alignment on project goals and methodologies and strengthen the project’s positioning to deliver innovative and replicable Circular Economy interventions in the sports sector.\n\nOverall, the ADRIONOSPORTS project has made substantial progress in laying the groundwork for successful implementation, ensuring that both strategic planning and technical preparations are on track to deliver impactful results in the next phases.\nDuring its first year, the ADRIONOSPORTS project progressed in line with the Application Form and work plan, achieving its initial objectives related to the establishment of effective project management and coordination structures and the initiation of technical activities across all four Work Packages.\n\nConcerning project management and coordination, the Lead Partner (LP1-CRETE), in close cooperation with PP2-TREK as Technical Coordinator, established the organisational and operational framework required for efficient implementation. The Partnership Agreement was developed and signed by all partners, defining roles, responsibilities and internal procedures. Project management and monitoring tools were created, including a detailed project time plan, an activity monitoring tool and a budget performance assessment tool, allowing systematic tracking of progress and expenditures. A Steering Committee was formally established and its operational rules were defined. Financial management activities included the coordination of advance payments to IPA partners, the preparation, submission and revision of the 1st Project Report, and the management of the distribution of the approved first payment to all project partners. Continuous communication and coordination with the Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat were ensured throughout the reporting period. In addition, the tendering, selection and contracting process for an external expert supporting LP1-CRETE in project management and implementation was completed.\n\nTwo transnational project meetings were organised during the reporting period. The Kick-Off Meeting (4–5 December 2024, Heraklion, Crete) officially launched the project, ensured a common understanding of project objectives, clarified management and coordination structures and initiated detailed planning of activities across all Work Packages. The 2nd Project Meeting (8 July 2025, Makarska, Croatia) focused on reviewing implementation progress, identifying delays and risks, and agreeing on corrective measures and adjusted timelines to ensure smooth continuation of project activities. Furthermore, the organisation of the 3rd Project Meeting along with two workshops on the validation of the Draft Joint Strategy and Action Plan (WP1) and the validation of he feasibility studies (WP2) was in progress during this period.\n\nTechnical implementation advanced in all four Work Packages.\n\nWP1 (Lead: LP1-CRETE) addressed the objective of analysing the current state of Circular Economy (CE) practices in sports facilities and events. Project partners conducted desk-based research and initial mapping of relevant stakeholders at territorial level. To ensure comparability of results, a standardised template for the Existing Situation Analysis was developed in June 2025 and distributed to all partners. Completion of the analyses was ongoing by the end of the reporting period. In parallel, a questionnaire aimed at collecting stakeholder inputs for the development of a shared vision on CE in the sports sector was developed in July 2025, with data collection underway.\n\nWP2 (Lead: PP2-TREK) focused on preparing the ground for Pilot Actions. Activity 2.1 progressed through the development and application of a standardised template for the verification and justification of pilot site selection, ensuring transparency and consistency across territories. Furthermore, a common methodology for the preparation of feasibility studies for Pilot Actions was developed, providing a unified framework to assess technical, financial and organisational feasibility.\n\nWP3 (Lead: PP8-CERVIA) initiated Activity 3.1 by developing a template for the systematic collection and documentation of Good Practices in CE applied to sports infrastructure and events. This activity aims to support knowledge transfer and replication. The collection of Good Practices by project partners was ongoing at the end of the first year.\n\nWP4 (Lead: LP1-CRETE) achieved an important early output with the completion of the Communication Plan (D.4.3.1) in July 2025, following a structured stakeholder analysis conducted by all partners. Communication activities were launched, including the design of the project poster, the establishment of project social media accounts and dissemination actions related to the project and the Kick-Off Meeting. Additionally, initial stakeholder identification started for the Circular Economy Academy (Activity 4.1), while Activity 4.2 focused on identifying key target groups for capitalisation activities.\n\nOverall, the first year of implementation resulted in the establishment of shared tools, methodologies and coordination mechanisms across the partnership. This transnational cooperation ensured a harmonised approach to project implementation, strengthened exchange of knowledge and experience among partners, and created a solid basis for the implementation of Pilot Actions, capacity-building and capitalisation activities in the subsequent phases.","Cervia, Kragujevac, Sarajevo, Podgorica, Makarska , Kranj, Athens, Irakleio","IT, RS, BA, ME, HR, SI, GR",{"$nulls":5},9]
["IPA-ADRION00124","Scaling up eWASTE circular economy in Adrion region","THE ISSUE\nElectronic waste (eWASTE) is growing much faster than regular waste stream, and EU has the highest per-capita rate of eWASTE production, while, from 2019, Directive establish a collection rate of 65% of all eWASTE placed on the market in the preceding 3 years.\nHowever, many countries haven't been able to meet this goal. In the ADRION region, only Croatia has achieved the 65% target while Italy, Greece, and Slovenia are bottom 5 of EU, only managing to collect 30% to 40% of their eWASTE. Unofficial data suggests that countries in the IPA (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance) region are even worse off.\nOne additional risk affecting ADRION is the illegal shipping of eWASTE. In 2021, a review by the EU Court of Auditors found that there were 99 illegal shipments of eWASTE within the EU. ADRION countries are hit particularly hard, with three EU countries reporting violations of shipping rules and illegal dumping sites (299 just in Italy) in the last 5 years. Since IPA countries are not closely monitored or covered by regulations, they are at an even greater risk than EU member states.\n\nThe illegal shipping of eWASTE needs a coordinated approach across borders, especially in the ADRION area where disparities between regulation are still very strong. This situation facilitates frequent cases of illegal management of eWASTE, posing serious environmental risks, especially in terms of getting rid of harmful substances. It often happens that electrical and electronic waste, once stripped of its most valuable components, is illegally dumped with no regard for toxic substances.\n\nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nOn average, for every 1,000 tonnes of eWASTE processed, there are about 70 job opportunities. This number increases by 20% for collection and 15% for reselling. For instance, according to the US Coalition for American Electronics Recycling, 245 jobs are created for every 1,000 tonnes.\n\nIf the eWASTE currently being abroad EU were processed within EU member states instead, it could create more than 4,000 new jobs. Additionally, considering the eWASTE within the EU that hasn't been recovered yet (over 1 million tonnes), it could potentially generate more than 60,000 new job opportunities.\n\nOBJECTIVE\nThe goal of CircleWaste is to support the long-term sustainability of businesses that add economic, environmental and social value to the Waste from Electronic and Electric Equipment (eWASTE), by providing businesses with a consistent source of eWASTE for their circular model, ensuring a continuous cycle of use and reuse.\n\nCONSORTIUM\nA group of 12 partners from 8 ADRION countries will collaborate to develop collective solutions aimed at boosting eWASTE businesses in the region. Some main outputs will be the Transnational Strategy for promotion of eWASTE circular economy in the Adrion region, and its implementation into a Territorial Action Plans (TAPs).\nThese will support the consortium in the implementation of pilot actions which will test 3 innovative solutions, which will then be expanded on a larger scale by the consortium:","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.6.

Below is a detailed overview of the achievements according to the activities outlined in the Workplan.\n\nACTIVITY 1.1. TRANSNATIONAL ADREEE OFFICE AND LOCAL WORKING GROUPS\nDuring Reporting Period 1, the Transnational ADREEE Office was established, including the formation of three key HUBs: the Scientific HUB (PP02-CPU, PP05-DNUEA, PP07-CED), the Business HUB (PP03-ASSO, PP04-AEIPLOUS, PP06-LINK), and the Awareness HUB (PP08-Mirdita, PP09-Kicevo, PP11-ZWMNE, PP12-Tuzi).\n\nThe creation of the Transnational ADREEE Office and its HUBs has facilitated cooperation among consortium members, promoting a multidisciplinary approach to tackling sustainable e-waste management in the ADRION region. Due to the positive outcome of its establishment in managing and coordinating partner activities during this first implementation period, the Transnational ADREEE Office and its HUBs are expected to remain active throughout the upcoming implementation periods and beyond the end of the CircleWaste project.\n\nAs part of this same activity, three types of working groups have been formed for each partner: Local eWaste Working Groups, ADREEE Transnational Working Group, and Local Policy Group. \n\nThese groups will work together, developing synergies between the different areas of the project and providing a framework for creating innovative and locally adapted solutions. Specifically, the different working groups will be involved in reviewing and validating the Regional Market Assessments, the Territorial Action Plans, as well as implementing the pilots during the second work package.\n\nACTIVITY 1.2. EWASTE BUSINESS MARKET ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING SYSTEMS\nThe main objective of this activity is to gain a detailed understanding of the market in each cooperation area and the challenges in electronic waste management. \n\nTo this end, PP7 CED created a survey aimed at producers, importers, recyclers, reuse organizations, and local authorities, with the goal of gathering relevant information on recycling practices, policy implementation, regulatory frameworks, and public awareness of e-waste in each of the CircleWaste consortium countries.\n\nA total of 185 responses were collected and analyzed to create the structure of the Market Assessment, which will be used by all project partners to develop their own eWaste Business Market Assessment during Reporting Period 2.\n\nACTIVITY 1.6. COMMUNICATION WITH TARGET GROUPS\nDuring Reporting Period 1, PP11 ZWMNE, as Communication Leader, developed the Communication Strategy, which includes the definition of communication goals, target groups, dissemination activities, and the most suitable channels to reach each of these groups (website, social media, etc.).\n\nAmong other communication activities, key highlights include the installation of a copy of the official project poster at each partner's premises, regular updates to the project’s website and social media, and the publication of project-related news on each consortium member’s communication channels.\n\nThe main communication indicators targeted during the implementation of CircleWaste are as follows:\n-\tMore than 4,000 citizens reached through direct communication actions\n-\t200 external key actors participating in technical project activities\n-\tMore than 1,500 website visits per year\n\nThrough the implementation of these communication activities, the project reached around 17.000 visits to news posted in partners social media posts during the first implementation period of CircleWaste.\n\nIn terms of key actors involvement, 185 organizations participated in the data collection questionnaire on the eWaste situation in the different consortium areas.\n\nFinally, during the first period, the project website received around 400 visits. It is expected that, with the launch of awareness campaigns, participation of the Local Working Groups, and pilot activities, the number of website visits will increase exponentially.\n\nCOORDINATION ACTIVITIES\nDuring this initial project period, important coordination activities were carried out, including the formation of the Steering Committee and the signing of key agreements that formalized collaboration among partners. Internal meetings were also held to align objectives and define the work framework.\n\nThe coordination and communication activities have been essential in ensuring all partners work cohesively, allowing the project to move forward smoothly and ensuring that results are widely disseminated. \n\nFurthermore, the establishment of a strong network and the creation of effective communication tools have enabled smoother partner integration across all project phases, contributing to the successful and long-term implementation of e-waste management strategies.\n\nDuring the first two implementation periods, the CircleWaste project has achieved significant progress towards the practical implementation of its main objective: promoting a circular model for eWASTE management in the ADRION region.\n\nIn the first period of the project, the foundations for transnational cooperation and the collection of relevant information were established: the ADREEE Transnational Office was created, and Local Working Groups (LWGs) were set up in the eight participating territories, ensuring the participation of key stakeholders from the public, private, and social sectors. The eWASTE questionnaire was designed and distributed, collecting initial responses that served as the basis for market diagnostics. Additionally, the preparation of the Joint eWASTE Business Market Assessment and the structure of the Regional eWASTE Business Market Assessments was initiated, establishing the methodological framework for subsequent analyses.\n\nIn terms of communication, the Communication Strategy was defined and validated during this period, ensuring consistency in the dissemination of results and the engagement of target groups. Key coordination milestones included the Kick-Off Meeting or Validation Workshop 1 (VW1) in Ljubljana (Slovenia), the first consortium meeting where project objectives were explained, financial aspects were addressed, and the initial tasks were established; and VW2 in Podgorica (Montenegro), where the Communication Strategy and the structure of the LWGs were validated.\n\nThe work of Period 2 focused mainly on WP1, whose specific objective is to establish the technical and strategic foundations necessary for the development of the Territorial Action Plans (TAPs) and future pilot actions. Under the coordination of PP2 CPU, the partners completed the main transnational outputs planned for this stage, strengthening cooperation among the eight participating territories and creating a solid shared working structure.\n\nAmong the most relevant results are the completion of the 8 Regional eWASTE Market Assessments, the preparation of the Joint eWASTE Business Market Assessment, and the drafting and validation of the Transnational Strategy for promoting the circular economy of eWASTE in the ADRION region. These documents, collectively validated by the consortium during VW3 held in Kicevo (North Macedonia), provide the technical and methodological basis to guide the project’s future actions.\n\nThe Regional Market Assessments provide a detailed overview of the eWASTE market situation in each territory, including data on business structures, regulatory frameworks, waste flows, and innovation opportunities. In parallel, the Joint Assessment integrates all this information into a common analysis identifying shared trends and transnational challenges. Based on this knowledge, the Transnational Strategy provides a roadmap for the coordinated development of circular solutions and defines the common methodology for designing the TAPs that each partner will develop in the next phase.\n\nA particularly notable aspect has been the extensive involvement of the target groups. Through the LWGs, SMEs in the eWASTE sector, local and regional authorities, and environmental NGOs and associations actively participated in information gathering and validation of preliminary analyses. In total, 185 questionnaires were completed by key stakeholders in the sector, complemented by local meetings that allowed data verification and enriched the regional diagnostics. \n\nIn parallel, PP11 ZWMNE, in its role as Communication Manager, coordinated the implementation of the Communication Strategy, ensuring continuous dissemination of project progress and engagement of target groups. During this period, partners maintained active communication through social media, local, and institutional media, generating increasing interest around the opportunities of the circular economy.\n\nThe added value of transnational cooperation has become evident over the first year of implementation. Continuous exchange among partners has allowed comparison of regulatory frameworks, identification of good practices, and development of solutions adaptable to different contexts. The joint working structure, through the ADREEE Transnational Office and the three thematic HUBs, facilitated smooth and balanced collaboration based on mutual learning and joint result-building. Thanks to this approach, partners moved from individual analysis to truly coordinated regional planning.\n\nOverall, the first two periods of CircleWaste can be considered a stage of technical, methodological, and relational establishment and consolidation. Cooperation and communication among partners and target groups have been strengthened, consolidating a transnational collaboration network.","Tuzi, Podgorica, Kicevo, Rrëshen , Tirana, Mostar, Dubrovnik, Patras, Verona, ORMOŽ, Ljubljana","ME, MK, AL, BA, HR, GR, IT, SI",{"$nulls":5},14]

The first semester included the project start up. As regards technical-administrative activities, LP organized the kick-off meeting, a press conference, two online technical meetings with all partners on January 15th and February 17th 2025, and a thematic meeting on communication activities on January 29th.  Furthermore, four online dedicated meetings were organized with four project partners (PP6-VHC, PP9-PPNEA, PP10-LZS and PP4-ARCTUROS), and one dedicated in person meeting with PP6-VHC, to discuss aspects related to project activities and reporting.\nOn November 28th and 29th the kick off meeting took place at the University of Udine, Udine. All partners participated in presence, reaching 27 presences in the first day and 25 in the second one, as reported in the attendance list. Aims and objectives of the 4PETHABECO project have been illustrated by going into detail about the various work periods, communication and financial aspects were also discussed. In this context, the project managers and the members of the Steering Committee (SC) and the Advisory Board (AB) were identified for each partner, and the communication working group and communication managers were also defined. On the second day LP1 organized a field trip for all project partners, to observe directly in the field some issues related to wildlife conservation. Irrigation canals, which constitute a dangerous barrier to the movement of wildlife, and a transhumant shepherd were visited, addressing the issue of coexistence between wildlife and human activities together with stakeholders. A meeting minutes was then written and shared with all partners.\nOn December 19th a press conference in hybrid mode took place at the University of Udine. All partners actively participated remotely, while journalists from national and local press, and general public made up of students and stakeholders, were present in person. A total of 19 people were present in person. PPs were involved translating the press release in national languages and sharing it among local media. Following the press release, several articles and contributions were published in local newspapers and printed and online media at local and national level on the launch of the project, project challenges, aims and objectives, in all the involved countries.\nGuidelines have been drawn up for communication and financial aspects (Communication Plan and Financial handbook). In particular, LP1 set the project's communication strategy by developing a communication document, shared with all the partners whose suggestions were implemented. This document defines in detail the communication strategy within the project, the target audience, the channels to be used for communication, and plans this activity among partners. Project poster and banner have been designed and shared with all partners, to be printed and placed in a public area of each institution. In collaboration with PP5, a roll up has been structured, printed and shared with all partners. Furthermore, again in collaboration with PP5, a project graphic, approved by all partners, was produced, to be used for promotional material that will be purchased in the next period. Templates for communication have been provided to all PPs (templates for slide presentation, documents, reports, agenda, invitation, press release etc.).\nEach partner published information about the project on its institutional website and social networks (FB, IG, LI).  LP1 created official project pages on the main social networks (FB, IG and LI) on which, thanks to the contributions of all the partners, the communication activity has already begun.\nMoreover, the official project web page on ADRION program web page has been implemented with information about the project, and the main activities carried out during this first period.\nProject social pages and website links:\nIG. https://www.instagram.com/4pethabeco/#\nFB. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571857476344\nLI. https://www.linkedin.com/company/4pethabeco-ipa-adrion-project/about/\nWS. https://4pethabeco.interreg-ipa-adrion.eu/\nFinally, through partner meetings and meetings dedicated to individual partners, the foundations were laid for some of the activities planned for the next periods, such as the identification of stakeholders, organizing of round tables in Italy and Serbia, testing of new monitoring approaches and techniques, setting up the digital platform for exchange of data, and the second PP meeting in Serbia. In particular, the identification of stakeholders has begun and the engagement activity with some of them has begun.\n\nDuring its first implementation year, the 4PETHABECO project has laid the foundations for transnational cooperation across the Adriatic–Ionian Region (AIR) to address the socio-environmental challenges of large carnivore (LC) conservation and coexistence. The project has progressed in line with its planned objectives, activating the cooperation framework among ten partners from eight countries and achieving several preparatory and technical milestones.\nIn the first semester, activities focused on the full implementation of the Activity 1.1 of WP1 (Project Management and Communication). The University of Udine (UNIUD), as Lead Partner (LP), effectively coordinated all technical, administrative, and financial aspects, ensuring smooth project start-up and compliance with programme requirements. The kick-off meeting (organized by UNIUD in Udine, November 28-29, 2024) marked the official launch of 4PETHABECO, gathering all partners to establish the Steering Committee and Advisory Board, coordination, financial and communication management structures at project and partner levels, define communication procedures, plan upcoming activities, and allocate tasks in accordance with the work plan and the Programme’s requirements. As a guideline for the project implementation, LP has developed and provided all PPs with a Financial Handbook and a Project Management manual, which also define partners’ responsibilities for each deliverable, agreed upon by all PPs during SC meetings. An external company has been appointed by LP to support all partners with regards to financial aspects and reporting activities.\nExtensive communication efforts enhanced the project’s visibility: a hybrid press conference was organized by LP, in Udine, December 19, 2024, attended by all partners remotely, resulting in several articles and publications in print and online media of all eight participating countries; LP has developed and provided all PPs with a Communication Plan, visual identity, and communication templates as guidelines for communication activities; LP has launched dedicated social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and an official website, which are actively used for dissemination, thanks to the contribution of all partners.\nIn the second semester, activities advanced toward the implementation of Activity 1.2 of WP1 and Activity 2.1 of WP2, focusing on stakeholder mapping, engagement, and participatory processes. Under LP’s coordination, partners identified and classified stakeholders at regional and national levels. This work supported the development of the participatory process methodology by PP5 and PP6, which provides a common approach for inclusive dialogue and engagement. In this context, a survey was developed for local stakeholders, with the support of all PPs, to better understand their perceptions and attitudes and identify concrete and inclusive solutions that promote coexistence with LC. These results will be preparatory to the development of a shared strategy and an action plan for the sustainable management of LC in the AIR.

ABBA also developed a database of 4-Helix stakeholders in partner regions, identifying research centers, universities, public authorities, companies, and innovators. This comprehensive list includes stakeholder evaluations to assess their relevance to the project. \n4- A comprehensive strategic communication and sustainability plans developed by AULEDA in collaboration with all partners. This strategy defines internal and external communication frameworks, identifies target groups, and outlines tools to ensure coherence and visibility. \n\nABBA succeeded in addressing common challenges and needs within selected blue economy subsectors by leveraging previous project results and desktop research, and by analyzing relevant strategies like EUSAIR and the Green Deal. This distributed approach with PPs operating regional hubs leverages local expertise for effective outreach and networking. The added value of this cooperation is significant, allowing the project to leverage diverse regional expertise, capitalize on previous project outcomes, foster cross-border partnerships, and create a unified sustainable framework for the innovation and growth in the Adriatic-Ionian Blue Economy. This approach maximizes the project's impact and ensures its enduring legacy.\nABBA project has made a substantial progress, laying a strong foundation for a unified and innovative Adriatic–Ionian blue economy ecosystem. During this period, the partners succeeded in establishing a common methodological and strategic framework through the completion of Activities Fine-tuning and Harmonization of Existing Knowledge. This work integrated tools, methodologies, and best practices from previous European initiatives such as NEORION, PROTEUS, SKILLSEA, and SHIPMENTT, ensuring that all partners follow a shared and coherent approach. Building on this foundation, the consortium jointly is working on the methodology for ABBA Sustainable Blue Economy Alliance, defining governance structures, roles, communication flows, stakeholder engagement processes, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. This strategic blueprint will create a long-term roadmap for transnational cooperation, ensuring consistency and comparability across all regions.\nA major achievement of the project so far is the full establishment of six Regional Blue Excellence Hubs in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. These hubs function as regional anchors for innovation, bringing together quadruple-helix stakeholders such as universities, businesses, public authorities, and civil society. Each hub completed an extensive mapping of stakeholders, organized Focus Groups, Launching Events, and Information days, and developed regional action plans that reflect the specific needs and priorities of local blue economy actors. This bottom-up process will enable the project to create a robust network of stakeholders across the macro-region and to ensure that the future activities of the project are grounded in real conditions and concrete regional challenges.\n\nAnother major milestone has been the development of the List of Common Challenges and Stakeholder Needs across the blue economy sub-sectors.

["IPA-ADRION00134","Smart Mobility in Adriatic Ionian Region Urban Areas","The SMARTMOBAIR project addresses the common challenge of traffic congestion and air pollution in the Adriatic-Ionian region, hindering the achievement of climate neutrality goals. Through a transnational approach, the project aims to enhance sustainable and smart urban mobility by strengthening territorial collaboration to support the deployment of intelligent transport system solutions in 6 pilot territories and foster their uptake in other Adriatic Ionian cities and territories.\n\nThe main barriers to a large-scale deployment of intelligent transport technologies and systems and the launch of new smart mobility services lie on a lack of knowledge and understanding of the new technologies and the implications of their introduction both on the mobility system and on the mobility management systems. Another issue is that these technologies have been usually studied and tested in contexts quite different from the Adriatic Ionian Region (AIR) and their introduction in this area requires a process of adaptation and testing.\n\nThe overall objective is to overcome these barriers and establish a joint approach for identification, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of ICT solutions able to respond to specific territorial mobility needs. This will lead to the development and implementation of coordinated actions tailored to specific territorial peculiarities, resulting in enhanced urban mobility. The project aims to jointly test and validate the effectiveness of 6 intelligent transport system solutions in addressing mobility challenges, introducing clean and smart mobility services, and improving traffic flow management in functional urban areas.\n\nThe main outputs of the project include enhanced collaboration and coordination among 15 organizations (SMARTMOBAIR cooperation network) and validated intelligent transport system solutions (SMARTMOBAIR smart mobility pilot actions). These outputs will benefit the partner territories, contributing to improved infrastructure use, deployment of new mobility services, and smart management of traffic flows, at the same time improving existing mobility-related plans and strategies. Expertise in new technologies deployment will be acquired, fostering policy learning and transferability of project results. The main beneficiaries of these results will be primarily cities and mobility service providers, but other beneficiaries will be also provincial and regional authorities, companies operating in the ICT and mobility sectors and the benefits will impact the population at large.\n\nSMARTMOBAIR capitalizes and builds up on the results of several previous projects related to urban mobility and intelligent transport systems as well as on sound methodologies already successfully implemented to disseminate and achieve project results capitalization. The project adopts a transnational approach to fully leverage the opportunities offered by innovative intelligent transport system solutions. This approach allows for sharing experiences, knowledge, and best practices among partners, optimizing the impact on both the involved cities and the wider Adriatic-Ionian region. The project recognizes that traffic congestion and air pollution are interconnected challenges that transcend administrative boundaries, requiring a collaborative and coordinated effort.\n\nWhat sets the SMARTMOBAIR project apart is its focus on the implementation and validation of smart mobility and ITS solutions in pilot territories through the design of a monitoring and evaluation framework for better exploitation of ICT technologies and evidence-based data, promoting the adoption of a data-driven mobility decision-making process.\n\nLast but not least, by introducing new smart mobility services and enhancing traffic flow management, the project aims to make a significant change in the current situation.

["IPA-ADRION00527","Adriatic-Ionian Maritime oPeRational Efficiency and Sustainable Scheme","The AIMPRESS initiative is based on regional cooperation while being also positioned at the forefront of environmental and operational advancements within the Adriatic-Ionian maritime sector, aligning its objectives with Priority Axis 3 of the Interreg VI-B IPA Adriatic Ionian Cooperation Programme 2021-\n\n2027. AIMPRESS is actually dedicated to addressing Specific Objective \n\n3.1, which emphasizes the strengthening of a carbon-neutral mobility in the Adriatic-Ionian region. Central to AIMPRESS's strategy are two fundamental objectives: (i) to enhance the environmental performance, and (ii) to boost energy efficiency of ports within the Adriatic-Ionian maritime sector, fostering a network of technologically progressive and environmentally conscious ports. AIMPRESS aims to achieve these by developing, testing, assessing, and promoting innovative technologies, sustainable practices and circular solutions in port systems by virtualizing and building on their existing infrastructures. Within this context, AIMPRESS targets to significant reduction of GHGs and increase of EE in the main pilot case (Port of Ancona) and the follower-up cases (Port of Split & AD Marina Bar).\nThe AIMPRESS consortium embodies a collaborative and interregional framework, encapsulating a diverse array of stakeholders from across the eligible regions. This approach is underscored by the formation of a consortium, combining diverse expertise and resources from academic, scientific, and maritime sectors to innovate sustainable solutions. The strategic amalgamation of partners like the highly experienced educational institutions TUC and UNIVPM, along with the SDEWES Centre, port authorities, and specialists like ENOVA and CLEN, ensures a rich tapestry of knowledge, catering to various facets of the project from digitalization to sustainable energy technologies. This collective effort is instrumental in deploying innovative solutions that include the digitalization, virtualization and simulation of RES tailored to the maritime context, and the application of Digital Shadow technology for operational optimization, and the implementation of a specialised AI-driven Energy Management System (EMS). \nThe AIMPRESS project will deliver pivotal outputs, including a Comprehensive Green Smart Ports Roadmap, establishing a strategic path towards integrating AI and RES for sustainable port operations. The creation of the AIMPRESS Transnational Network, uniting eleven organizations, will foster unparalleled collaboration and knowledge exchange. A transnational approach is imperative due to the interconnected nature of maritime operations and environmental challenges that transcend national boundaries. Also, the Joint Training and Upskilling Strategy will further ensure the project's sustainability by equipping port staff with necessary skills. Beneficiaries extend from port authorities and maritime operators, who will see direct enhancements in operations, to regional communities, which will benefit from improved environmental standards and economic opportunities, showcasing the transformative potential of collaborative innovation in maritime infrastructure.\nIn adherence to the principles of sustainable development and the \"do no significant harm\" directive, the AIMPRESS initiative seeks to harmonize technological advancements with sustainable development. This approach not only ensures compliance with the key goals of the IPA ADRION Programme but also resonates with the global imperative for sustainable maritime practices. The project's commitment to innovation and sustainability positions it as a catalyst for transformative change, fostering a maritime sector that is both economically feasible and environmentally resilient. \nAIMPRESS takes a broad, innovative scope by aiming to support and enhance the environmental performance and energy efficiency for low carbon port systems for the entire port energy-related infrastructures. The project's ambition to create smarter and greener ports through collaborative efforts and technological innovation aligns with the overarching goals of the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR), which seeks to promote blue growth, environmental quality, and sustainable tourism within the region. Therefore, AIMPRESS addresses a critical aspect of maritime operations that is often overlooked, and dersires to strengthen the role of the Adriatic-Ionian transport sector within the upcoming TEN-T policy.\nStrategically, AIMPRESS has significant value as it promotes environmental maritime sustainability and operational efficiency across in the ADRION region. By building upon existing infrastructures, it also demonstrates a commitment to cost-effectiveness, minimizing the need for new infrastructure, thus making efficient use of what is already installed. This approach not only saves resources but also shortens the implementation timeline, allowing immediate benefits through the proposed solutions.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_3) Supporting a carbon neutral and better-connected Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO3.2.

The project succeeds in large part because various partners from the ADRION area work together across borders; these partners are universities, research centers, port officials, and certain private companies. The Technical University of Crete is in charge of the technological and digital framework development, and the basic work is going smoothly, with help from the SDEWES Centre (WP1). SDEWES, in collaboration with TUC, have developed the first two Deliverables of the project that highlight and demonstrate the Cold-Ironing and the PV & Storage Frameworks. These deliverables had contribution from the whole consortium and have been successfully uploaded and submitted on 10th of March, 2025. The Port of Ancona (ADSPMAC) is the project's main pilot case and has shown strong support by offering crucial energy data and cold-ironing related timeseris. This data is vital for making the virtual models and the Digital Shadow concept. TUC, SDEWES, UNIVPM, and ADSPMAC are working together through meetings to improve plans for using these ideas, making sure they fit what Ancona already has and what it will require later. Although the pilot virtual demonstrations and impact evaluations are planned to begin later, the careful planning by UNIVPM is a notable success. The UNIVPM team has now shared complete planning documents that describe the ways the AIMPRESS solutions' environmental effects and working performance will be measured. To make sure these answers can be expanded and copied successfully, plans are also being created for the follower ports of Split (Port of Split Authority - PSA) and AD Marina Bar (AD MB). It projected that a WP2 start meeting should occur to combine these methods in the upcoming months.\n\nThe SDEWES Centre's capacity building and dissemination (Work Package 3) is really picking up speed now. The project's official website went live early and TUC actively keeps it updated with fresh content. After the first setup by TUC, the main social media channels are running now to get more people to see and be a part. The project's collaborators designed and presented thorough strategies regarding essential activities such as Port Staff Training (Activity 3. 1, overseen by UNIVPM), Impact Maximisation & Networking (Activity 3. 3, overseen by SDEWES, with ADSPMAC managing its initial deliverable), and the Public Awareness Campaign (Activity 3. 4, overseen by PSA, with the University of Belgrade - FTMUB managing the campaign plan deliverable). We should note UNIVPM is pushing ahead with the Port Staff Training plan by performing needs assessments and creating a curriculum that is modular and seeing about professional accreditation for the training offered in Ancona. Moreover, the project expects to have a large global impact by participating in the SDEWES 2025 conference in Dubrovnik. It will showcase a special AIMPRESS session, a public workshop, and also the project's 3rd General Assembly meeting, offering a useful place for sharing knowledge and making connections. Last but not least, PSA is now actively contributing to the dissemination of the project showing extraordinary effort and achieving promising results through the active upload of material through the project website and social media channels.\n\nThe improvements and accomplishments of AIMPRESS are basically because of how it is set up to be collaborative and transnational. It turns out that the teamwork between the academic partners like TUC, UNIVPM, SDEWES, FTMUB, and MTF-UOM, which provide the newest research and creative abilities, and the useful, hands-on knowledge from the port authorities such as ADSPMAC, PSA, and AD MB, along with companies like Clean Energy, ENOVA, and Public authorities like AKBM, is very fruitful and effective. This consortium guarantees that the outputs, such as the \"Comprehensive Green Smart Ports Roadmap\" and the set of \"AIMPRESS Digital Solutions\", are not only technologically sophisticated but also extremely realistic; they are intended to develop on current port structures and carefully examined for overall relevance across the assorted maritime area of the Adriatic-Ionian region. Meetings for the whole project, like Steering Committees and General Assemblies, and creating methods and deliverables together, are very important for dealing with shared problems in the region and making the AIMPRESS initiative's lasting sustainable impact.","Podgorica, Bar , Split, Ancona, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Tirana, Belgrade, PTOLEMAIDA, Chania","ME, HR, IT, BA, AL, RS, GR",{"$nulls":5},12]
["IPA-ADRION00288","Exploitation of AI for the protection of the natural resources in the ADRION region","The monitoring and management of natural and man-made disasters has been a great issue in the Adriatic-Ionian region, as justified in the programme document and also underlined in the relevant policies addressed (EUSAIR, Green Deal, S3, etc). More specifically, AINATURE will focus on the use of AI tools (and contemporary technologies) for the early detection and monitoring of two major challenges faced by ADRION countries:\n- Pollution of open surface water resources and warning/monitoring of floods: through the adjustment of the AI tool developed in aqua3S and Pathocert projects (H2020), the partners will be able to detect pollution and alterations in the water surface.\n- Wildfires and floods: through the adjustment of the AI tools developed in projects TREEADS and Silvanus (H2020, Horizon Europe).\n\nThe AI tools will be based on images available through the free sources identified in the aforementioned projects, along with crowdsourced data that we will collect through the dedicated mobile app. \n\nUp to now, the projects implemented in the ADRION, covering the specific issues, were based on the information collected by sensors, drones, or other types of equipment, making the process costly and prone to the updates of technology, risking being outdated and, in many cases, not properly operated. AINATURE will offer AI tools that will exploit the free satellite images, thus also capitalising on already existing sources of data and ensuring the project’s sustainability supported by the long-term availability of data. These tools are developed through machine learning or deep learning approaches, during which they are trained on the normal/default values and the changes that may occur based on real data, to set the limits for event identification and warning. \n\nThe project's main action will be the implementation of pilot actions for the use of a joint AI system based on existing tools and software, which have been already elaborated and tested in previous projects (H2020, Horizon Europe), allowing for early detection and effective management of natural crises. \nThe technologies exploited in this effort will be based on:\n- AI tools, \n- BIG data extraction and analysis\n- Mobile application\n\nIn this regard, the main outputs include:\n- The development of an AI early warning and monitoring system that consists of:\n\n\n1. An AI tool for the detection of pollution and other alterations in the surface of open water sources, including seawater, lakes, and streams. \n\n\n2. Two AI tools for the early detection and monitoring of floods and wildfires.\n\n\n3. A mobile app, through which the citizens will be able to support the real time monitoring of a natural crisis.\n\n\n4.

A first key achievement was the successful establishment of the project's foundational structure and working mechanisms. The Lead Partner UNIVPM-SIMAU efficiently organized the project's Kick-off Meeting (KoM) in Ancona, Italy, fostering in-person interaction and agreement on management and coordination procedures. This included setting up the Steering Committee, the project's main decision-making body, chaired by UNIVPM, and the Project Management Board (PMB), with representatives from each partner. LP UNIVPM also elaborated essential project management tools, such as the Project Management Manual and the Risk Management Plan, providing a clear roadmap for the project's implementation.\n\nFrom the technical point of view, the partnership focused on a comprehensive assessment of the current landscape of landslide management and monitoring across the ADRION region. This involved a joint transnational effort to understand the types of landslides prevalent, the existing risk categories, and the technological solutions currently in place. Led collaboratively by UNIVPM and PP5 HGI, partners contributed to drafting, providing feedback, and finalizing a detailed questionnaire (D.1.1.1) aimed at harmonizing data collection and standardization across different countries. Subsequently, all partners contributed by filling out this questionnaire with their national and regional specific data, which fed into the development of the Transnational Inventory and assessment of standardized data on landslides types and risk categories (D.1.1.2). This inventory provides a valuable baseline understanding of the common challenges and existing data availability across the ADRION area, a crucial step enabled by the transnational cooperation.\n\nAnother significant output was the initiation and substantial progress towards the Transnational Catalogue of Innovative Solutions (D.1.2.1), led by PP7 Romagna Tech. All partners actively participated by providing information on existing predictive models and early prediction systems, including those based on AI applications, available in their respective regions. PP7 Romagna Tech  played a central role in designing the survey methodology and framework for this activity, ensuring a consistent and rigorous evaluation process: this collaborative effort has created a shared knowledge base of existing technologies and practices, highlighting the diversity and varying levels of advancement across the partnership, thus emphasizing the need for a joint strategy.\n\nFurthermore, the project dedicated efforts to establishing a strong communication and dissemination framework. RARIS took the lead in elaborating the Transnational Communication Strategy (D.1.6.1), which was presented and accepted by all partners, defining the communication approach, channels, and responsibilities. Early steps of this strategy were undertaken by partners, including announcements on institutional portals and social media by UNIVPM and the upload of information on the project website. A template for the Stakeholders Repository (D.1.6.2) was also prepared by PP8 RARIS, with partners all contributing by identifying and listing relevant stakeholders in their countries, fostering a network for future engagement.\n\nDespite a project start coinciding with the summer period and delays in the partnership agreement signing for some partners, the consortium proactively addressed these challenges. The Knowledge Building Hub (Activity A1.3), initially planned for Period 1, was postponed to the second reporting period to allow for the finalization of key deliverables (D.1.1.2 and D.1.2.1) that would provide essential input for the Hub discussions. This decision, made during the KoM in Ancona, demonstrates the project's adaptive management approach to ensure the quality and relevance of future activities.\n \n\nDuring the initial reporting period, the consortium collaboratively established the foundational elements for the AIMS project. Project partners held the Kick-off Meeting (A1.5) in Ancona in September 2024, which served as the primary forum for setting up the project's management structure, including the Steering Committee (D1.5.1) and Project Management Board, and defining crucial coordination procedures and tools such as the Project Management Manual (D1.5.2) and the Risk Management Plan (D1.5.4). A core focus for the consortium was to collectively assess landslide types and risk categories across the Adriatic-Ionian region (A1.1), which involved jointly drafting and finalizing assessment guidelines (D.1.1.1) and a transnational inventory (D1.1.2) based on data contributed by all partners. Simultaneously, efforts were made to conduct a joint transnational investigation into existing predictive models and early warning systems, including AI applications (A1.2), leading to the development of a common methodology and a comprehensive Catalogue of innovative solutions (D1.2.1). While some activities, such as the Transnational Knowledge-building Hub (A1.3) and the full elaboration of the AIMS Joint Strategy (A1.4), were re-scheduled for the subsequent period due to initial project startup timelines, significant organizational and preparatory work for these was undertaken, including identifying key stakeholders and experts and drafting preliminary documents like the AIMS Roadmap (D1.4.1). Furthermore, the consortium worked together to establish the project's online presence and communication approach (A1.6), with RARIS leading the development of the Transnational Communication Strategy (D1.6.1) and the Stakeholders Repository (D1.6.2), ensuring a unified strategy for disseminating project activities and results to relevant target groups.\nPeriod 2 focused on refining strategic approaches (WP1) and initiating the foundational design for the joint monitoring and prediction system, including preparing for pilot testing (WP2). A major highlight of this period was the significant progress on the AIMS Joint Strategy, which serves as the core framework for innovating landslide monitoring and early prediction. UNIVPM-SIMAU, as the Lead Partner, coordinated the drafting and finalization of this document. All PPs provided contributions, detailing their national contexts, existing landslide inventories, mapping methodologies, and proposed solutions.\nTo ensure the long-term uptake and integration of the AIMS Joint Strategy into partners' operations, UNIVPM-SIMAU drafted a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This document outlines each partner's commitment to implementing the strategy. The MoU was circulated among partners for feedback from their legal offices and has been approved by the UNIVPM SIMAU Department Council and Academic Senate, with official signing by partners expected in the next period.\nA pivotal event for knowledge exchange was the Transnational Knowledge-Building Hub, hosted by GeoZS in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on December 10, 2024. This Hub brought together 41 in-person and 15 online experts in landslides and artificial intelligence from various countries, including Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania. The event facilitated discussions on landslide prediction, monitoring, and AI applications, providing critical input that informed the AIMS Joint Strategy and the design of the data management platform. \nAGS successfully organized and hosted an online Transnational Roundtable on February 26, 2025.

["IPA-ADRION00171","Empowering ADRION rural communities to innovate","Rural areas in Adriatic-Ionian regions face some common socioeconomic and environmental challenges, including depopulation, brain-drain & ageing population, limited connectivity & access to public infrastructures & services as well as lack of opportunities in policy co-creation & access to funding. These challenges are the most pressing for rural communities (citizens and their SMEs). Additionally, climate change, leading to more frequent extreme weather events, poses serious challenges to the resilience and economy of rural communities. The key to unlocking the full potential of rural areas and helping them become more resilient, is to empower these rural areas and increase the development of networks & clusters among partners, regions, and enterprises to form a multiregional innovation system.\nThrough Interreg VI B IPA ADRION - Specific Objective \n\n1.1 Strengthening innovation capacities in the Adriatic - Ionian region and the indicative action to promote and encourage the development of transnationally designed innovations (technical and non-technical innovation, including services) through pilot & joint actions contribute to addressing societal and environmental challenges such as demographic change, energy efficiency and climate change, ADRURAL project aims to empower rural communities by utilising existing tested & innovative Smart Solutions and other innovation Solutions scenarios & models, addressing key societal and environmental rural challenges. These challenges will be addressed via community-led innovations/Smart Solutions (developed by other projects or initiatives and covering a wide range of relevant challenges faced by rural communities across the EU), from - indicatively- the following five (5) domains: Circular Bioeconomy, Biodiversity & Ecosystem Management, Resilience to Shocks, Citizen Engagement & Quality of Life, LifelongEducation & Training and Climate Adaptation & Mitigation etc.\nThe selected Smart Solutions & scenarios, from these domains, with collected data & information from and for the project, will be demonstrated transregionally, according to geographical & socioeconomical criteria, in five (5) Mini Rural Living Labs (MRLLs) pilots, located in selected countries of the partners in Adriatic - Ionian area. These pilots will vary in economic & socio-cultural contexts by paying specific attention to the needs of women, youth & vulnerable groups, and also will produce new data, upscale knowledge & successful scenarios with the tested innovative Smart Solutions & innovation Solutions. This will lead to the development of successful Innovative Models for rural communities. Moreover, these efforts will result in the creation of a resource library, an online learning system, a discussion forum & a hub for gathering relative information, accessible to users via an integrated ADRURALs Online Rural Empowerment Hub (OREH), incorporating as well innovative solutions, data, models, policies, sources of knowledge, funding opportunities & good practices, from other projects & initiatives. The goal is to establish an accessible integrated live system of shared knowledge.\nADRURAL will follow a multi-actor approach through joint rural stakeholder’s actions and governance schemes. A networking strategy will enable links with relevant organisations, networks, projects, initiatives to ensure the active engagement of rural communities and their SMEs for societal & economical change. A new approach & strategy incorporating innovative models and good practices, will be developed & tested through co-creation with users in partners' rural communities, aiming for more resilient & sustainable rural areas in the Adriatic-Ionian region. This approach will be implemented in a living network system which will support evidence-based governance frameworks, policy making and funding instruments to increase knowledge transfer between these specific countries, regions & citizens to address their needs and tackle their challenges effectively.\nThe fact that regional & local best practices in community-led, social & business innovations for rural development do exist, but are often limited to single cases and lack penetration into regional and national policies, demonstrate the need for a transnational approach as an effective mechanism to assist rural areas to jointly develop new solutions & address common issues.\nADRURAL recognises the uniqueness of each participating region & combines technology, capacity building, sustainability aiming at empowering ADRION rural communities to overcome the barriers they face.

Steering committee sessions and online coordination meetings ensured effective communication and smooth planning. Project management tools, such as a risk management plan (D3.2.1), quality monitoring methodology (D4.5.1), and the first quality monitoring report (D4.5.2) and the Communication Strategy (D1.5.1) were developed to ensure high standards and accountability. Moreover, the ADRURAL social media accounts (D1.5.2) and communication material (roll up banner & project brochure) are also ready. The project gained visibility through translated flyers, banners, newsletters, social media campaigns, and public events held across several partner regions. Materials were localized in multiple languages (e.g., Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Macedonian), making the project accessible and inclusive for rural populations.\nMultiple partners conducted desk research, surveys, and stakeholder consultations to identify the key challenges and opportunities for innovation in rural areas. Several draft and finalized reports now offer in-depth analysis of issues such as depopulation, climate risks, digitalization gaps, and social entrepreneurship.\nNotably, partners mapped national and regional community-led innovations, highlighting practices in agriculture, health, education, and rural entrepreneurship.\nThe first phase of the Adrion Rural Innovation Network (ARIN) was launched. Partners across the region identified and began engaging over 100 local stakeholders, from policymakers and NGOs to farmers and youth representatives. These efforts laid the groundwork for an active regional network that will support innovation and knowledge exchange.\nEarly development steps were taken toward building the Online Rural Empowerment Hub, a key digital platform that will showcase success stories, connect stakeholders, and provide tools to support rural innovation. Technical specifications and initial content curation have been initiated.\n\nDuring the second reporting period, ADRURAL partners made substantial progress across all work packages, strengthening coordination, deepening the knowledge base on rural innovation, and laying the groundwork for the upcoming pilot phase and strategic outputs. The consortium collectively advanced research activities, stakeholder engagement, communication actions, and technical developments, demonstrating strong collaboration despite administrative delays and varying national contexts. A major accomplishment has been the implementation of key analytical reports on challenges, opportunities, and innovation potential in rural communities across several regions, informed by desk research, surveys, consultations, and field visits. In parallel, mapping exercises identified community-led and smart rural initiatives in multiple countries, offering valuable examples and revealing local innovation ecosystems. Partners also advanced the development of the ADRURAL Stakeholders Network and contributed to launching the Adrion Rural Innovation Network (ARIN), which now includes the first signed Memorandum of Understanding and an online tool designed to gather expressions of interest from potential members. This growing network is becoming an important platform for cross-border exchange and long-term collaboration. Communication and dissemination actions intensified during this period, with partners organising knowledge-sharing workshops, networking events, public seminars, and study visits. Participation in international conferences, fairs, and thematic panels significantly increased ADRURAL’s visibility and fostered direct engagement with academic institutions, public authorities, the private sector, and local communities. Social media activities, website updates, newsletters, and promotional materials further strengthened outreach efforts and ensured a consistent communication approach across regions. A key milestone of this reporting period was the development and delivery of the shared methodology for setting up pilot actions and co-creation processes (D2.1.1), prepared collaboratively by several partners and validated through internal consultations. This methodology provides a harmonised framework for implementing Demo Farms, Mini Rural Living Labs, and other pilot initiatives planned for the next phase. Study visits and partner exchanges—such as visits to demonstration farms—facilitated mutual learning and ensured that the methodology reflects real operational needs. Preparatory work for pilot sites is ongoing, supported by stakeholder engagement and regional planning activities. The digital dimension of ADRURAL also moved forward with the start of development of the Online Rural Empowerment Hub (OREH). Following successful procurement procedures, the IT provider began working on the platform, supported by partners who contributed structured content, case studies, and resources. Once completed, the Hub will serve as a central reference point for rural communities, offering knowledge, tools, and examples that can inspire and support innovation across the ADRION area. Strategic and policy-related work progressed as well, with partners initiating analyses of governance frameworks, relevant funding instruments, and policy measures supporting community-led innovation. These efforts lay the groundwork for future policy recommendations and white papers that will guide regional authorities and stakeholders in fostering smart rural development. In addition, quality monitoring and reporting activities continued as planned, ensuring that project implementation remains on track. PP3 successfully organised the 2nd Project Meeting and the 2nd Steering Committee Meeting in Šibenik, enabling partners to review progress, plan upcoming activities, and resolve outstanding issues. Overall, the cooperation among partners proved highly beneficial. By working together, partners exchanged expertise, harmonised methodologies, built shared knowledge resources, and strengthened regional networks. The joint efforts not only accelerated progress but also ensured that the project’s approach to rural innovation is inclusive, comparable across regions, and grounded in real needs. The second period therefore, represents a crucial step forward, creating a strong base for the launch of pilot actions, further development of the digital platform, and the preparation of strategic recommendations that will support resilient, innovative, and community-driven rural development throughout the ADRION region.\n","Venezia, Mostar, Niksic, Bitola, Murska Sobota, Novi Sad, Sibenik, THERMI/THESSALONIKI, Corfu","IT, BA, ME, MK, SI, RS, HR, GR",{"$nulls":5},11]
["IPA-ADRION00222","Promoting biomimicry-inspired habitat design solutions for biodiversity protection and restoration","Recent extensive building infrastructure practice resulted in paving large soil surfaces with impervious materials, which caused uncontrolled flooding in many areas and valuable biodiversity rich areas lost their connections, migration paths, etc. Tourism risks are also common in the region due to significant changes in seasonal tourist concentration. Moreover, climate change increases the frequency of extreme natural events which leads to a loss in biodiversity and causes economic damage.\nAlready existing initiatives and strategies in the Adriatic Ionian region and beyond, recognize green infrastructure needs and nature-based solutions as key components for generating green and blue paths in rural and urban areas, with the purpose to increase biodiversity, ensure sustainable water collection and management, provide migration paths for animals and create socially acceptable areas to assure well-being. Nevertheless, this kind of approaches often stay sketchy as there is a lack of mimicking natural processes (which are visible for example in Natura 2000 sites) , thus often missing the target goal as they do not offer sufficient balance between sustainability present in nature and its transferability to human (artificial) environment. \nThus, biomimetic architecture or Biomimetics comes into play. Such practices emulate models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. It is a practice that learns from nature and natural habitats, thus emulating regenerative solutions of living organisms in order to solve human design challenges. It proposes that by infusing biological strategies in design, we can transform sustainable innovation by at the same time embodying (re)connect and ethos elements. Therefore, the BIOMIMICRY project envisions to fill these gaps between green infrastructure and emulation of functional strategies found in nature by bringing relevant knowledge, raising awareness among target groups, developing strategies and action plans and testing basic measures on sight through pilot activities to push forward biomimicry applicability in the Adriatic Ionian region and as such using it as a measure to prevent biodiversity loss. The project aims to connect participating countries in research of habitats in Adriatic-Ionian region to find effective and innovative biomimicry solutions for designing environments that contribute to biodiversity protection and restoration. The BIOMIMICRY partnership consists of 8 partners from 6 countries (2 from Italy, 1 from Slovenia, 2 from Croatia, 1 from Serbia, 1 from Montenegro and 1 from Bosnia and Herzegovina). \nThe solutions and policy instruments developed will help public authorities on local, regional and national level to encourage the use of biomimicry-inspired principles in development processes and urban planning.\nThe focus of the project enhances not only green infrastructure integration into rural and urban landscapes but the integration of biomimicry principles while doing so. The project is keen to stress the importance of mimicking natural processes in anthropogenic landscapes to ensure adaptation to climate change, revitalization of landscapes, long-term stability and sustainable development.\nTo undertake feasible measures and accomplish viable results, during the BIOMIMICRY project, a strategic framework for the development of biomimicry-inspired habitat design solutions in rural and urban areas will be formed. \nFurthermore, the strategy will be utilised through site-specific biomimicry-inspired solutions for biodiversity protection and restoration in five pilot sites in Macerata, Čakovec, Rakičan, Žabljak and Campitelli, where each will be addressing their specific biodiversity protection and restoration measure, such as providing efficient green infrastructure for pollinating insects, creating temperature control and water collection system or developing biomimetic solutions to ensure recirculation of water and avoid loss of wetland habitats. As a result, an interpretation of biomimicry-inspired habitat design solutions in biodiversity conservation will be developed in a form of online biomimicry tool and a foundation of ‘biomimicry-inspired’ verification award.","2024-09-01","2027-11-30","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.7.

On the other hand, SMEs are considered pivotal in the development of innovative solutions and the uptake of those developed in university and research centres.\nThe MISSION4WATER multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral strategic partnership aims to unlock the innovation potential of SMEs all across IPA ADRION countries fostering collaboration among diverse actors in the innovation ecosystem and cross-border and cross value chain collaborations. Doing so, MISSION4WATER contributes to supporting a smarter Adriatic and Ionian Region by strengthening the innovation capacity of the region.\nThe thematic focus of the project is the development of green innovation and clean technologies, with particular attention to reducing pollutants dispersion in water. In fact, the IPA Adrion region is intrinsically linked to natural waters with its rivers and seas. Although the diverse efforts devoted to study the problem, there is still a huge gap in awareness and know-how related to how to deal with it. In addition, the solutions available on the market and the current actions are limited to solving specific issues of isolated value chains. Typically, these solutions are effective for a specific problem but have drawbacks if analysed from a wider perspective. Conversely, it is necessary to tackle the problem from different points of view, with a holistic and coordinated approach, where different actors from diverse value chains interact to create new interconnected solutions. \nA combination of supporting actions will foster the collaborative approach of the quadruple helix system, towards the joint development of innovative solutions tackling the issue of pollutants dispersion in water.\nMISSION4WATER aims at radically innovating 4 complementary value chains: polymers transformation, garments and textiles, household appliances, and water treatment and depuration. \nBy fostering cooperation among SMEs and other organizations, it will be possible to identify new applications for available competencies, as well as the adoption of emerging technologies, thus possibly leading to the emergence of novel industries.\nLeveraging on the different planned activities, MISSION4WATER will be a large “co-innovation lab” where SMEs will receive support to generate and capitalize on all forms of knowledge and relevant emerging technologies. MISSION4WATER will accelerate the innovation led by SMEs through innovation services, multi-sectoral and cross-border collaborations, peer-learning activities and regional-tailored services to achieve a common goal, steered by a unique overall vision.\n\nThis, in turn, will lead to the following changes to the current situation:\n1) The adoption of the MISSION4WATER Co-Innovation model, a collaboration model, which will constitute the reference towards the establishment of long-lasting and effective goal- and innovation-driven collaboration ecosystem with organizations from the quadruple helix.\n2) The MISSION4WATER Co-Innovation model is the product of the joined action against pollutants dispersion in water and the best practices learned during the execution of three iterative cycles of use cases involving knowledge sharing, matching expertise and collaborative open innovation. The actors involved will have a shared vision on the impact of water pollutants and on the potential synergies and contributions to tackle such environmental challenge through their businesses or institutional activities, while enhancing their competitiveness.\n3) The establishment of an agreement signed by at least 5 organizations reached within the project, to ensure continuity of the collaboration model after the conclusion of the project.\n4) The activities of the co-innovation labs will lead to the development of original solutions addressing one of the following areas: (i) Awareness and behavioural changes; (ii) Preventing Microplastics release; (iii) Preventing other pollutants release; (iv) Mitigating Microplastics release; (v) Mitigating other pollutants release. In total we expect to develop 20 innovative solutions; of these, at least 10 will be uptaken by project partners and/or other organizations.\n\nThe key innovative aspects of the MISSION4WATER project lie in the following features:\n- Shared knowledge and joint vision with representatives of all parties of the quadruple helix on the priorities to tackle the pollutants dispersion challenge;\n- Cross-borders and cross-sectoral original solutions boosted by the connection of 4 value chains;\n- Joint cooperation among different quadruple-helix players in the perspective of setting up pilot innovation initiatives.\nMISSION4WATER will enable the reciprocal knowledge exchange among the 4 value chains and within all the actors developing new forms of cooperation led by a single main purpose.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_1) Supporting a smarter Adriatic Ionian region","RSO1.1.

A pre-Kick-off Meeting was held on-line on 18/9/2024; while the first consortium meeting in person was co-organized by the lead partner POLIMI and project partner ROLD on 4-5/11/2024. Both occasions were extremely useful to recap the project objectives, expected outputs and results, and the planned activities. The Project Officer was invited to attend and kindly contributed with an introduction to the IPA ADRION programme. \n\nStart-up activities have been carried out, i.e., the appointment of the Steering Committee with representatives from all Consortium Partners, appointment of the Advisory/Scientific Committee with members representing all the countries involved, the definition of a communication team led by project partner ZeroWasteMontenegro and the signature of Partnership Agreement with Partners.  \n\nCoordination of the project was guaranteed by POLIMI. To do so, an Activity Coordination Committee has been set up and it meets on-line at monthly basis. In the first semester it met four times: 26/11 and 18/12 2024, 15/1 and 12/2 2025. Further on-line calls were organized with WP Leaders and/or Partners. The “Quality Methodologies & Procedures” for a proper project management and coordination were drafted and shared within the partnership.  \n\nAll partners ensured the compliance with communication obligations foreseen by the Programme, namely the project description was published in the institutional websites of the partners, and the project posters were placed in a visible place at the partner premises. Further dissemination activities were carried out using the project webpage on the IPA-ADRION website and through social channels (mostly Linkedin and Instagram). \n\nConcerning project implementation, it started by properly addressing the specific needs of each SME and initiating interactions with SMEs by involving them in the M4W initiative. Surveys were conducted through 63 interviews with various stakeholders in the 7 project countries. An updated analysis of the Innovation Scoreboard 2024, identifying strengths and areas for improvement in the target countries was carried out and global best practices in cross-value chain initiatives as well as policies and initiatives supporting SME growth were reviewed to inspire new collaborative approaches for SMEs.  \n\nThe analysis also focused on water pollution in the Adriatic Region, identifying key hotspots and highlighting the need for SME-driven sustainable solutions. National policies addressing water pollution were reviewed across four areas: - wastewater treatment, - textile industries, - household appliances, and - civil society engagement. These were assessed in light of EU directives and regional initiatives. \n\nThen, the Consortium focused on defining training topics and formats, developing materials, and piloting training activities by structuring the project’s training strategy based on stakeholder needs identified in the framework of previous activities. Various formats were proposed, from lectures and webinars to co-innovation events and mentorships, consolidated into a Training Framework.  \n\nPartners also develop initial training materials, forming the foundation of a Training Library to be expanded in future phases. Preparation and start the execution of training events was ensured. Partners collaborated on agendas, speaker proposals, and logistics, ensuring alignment with broader project goals. While most training sessions are planned for future phases, initial sessions have already started in some countries.  \n\nIn addition, the definition and planning of matchmaking events, allowing SMEs to interact with stakeholders from different sectors to discuss challenges and innovation opportunities, was done. In total, eleven matchmaking events have been planned, two of which took place in the first reporting period.  \n\nIn the framework of Co-Innovation Labs, POLIMI led their launch by defining guidelines for selecting innovative projects and developing an online application system. The first call for proposals was launched on 13/2/2025 ensuring a broad international dissemination. The assessment of the proposals and the start of the collaborative projects is planned for the second period. \n \nFurthermore, all partners engaged in networking activities with projects and consortia they were already in contact with. An initial mapping of EU-funded projects, networks, innovation platforms, and stakeholders relevant to water pollution mitigation has been launched to explore collaboration initiatives.\nPOLIMI and IPA-ADRION MA signed the Project Subsidy Contract on 13th September 2024; the signature of the Partnership Agreement followed.\nA pre-Kick-off Meeting was held online on 18th September 2024, while the official M4W Kick-off was organised and hosted in Milan jointly by POLIMI and ROLD on 4-5 November 2024. \nThe 1st Steering Committee Meeting was held online on 14th May 2025, and POLIMI, jointly with TTA-TC, started organising the 2nd SC Meeting, foreseen for the end of October 2025 in Skopje.\n\nThe Consortium implemented a coordinated set of communication activities to ensure strong visibility and stakeholder engagement. Official channels were launched, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and the project website. Communication obligations (institutional websites with project descriptions and placement of project posters) were completed. \nRegular updates and coordination were maintained, while partners were supplied with ready-made Canva templates. Restricted meetings with Partners’ Communication officers have also been organised. In the first two periods, more than 30 social media posts reached 16,000+ users and generated 37,000+ views. The project website published 28 news articles and five library entries and is continuously updated with partner events, open call information, and more.\nParticipation in numerous local, national and international events further strengthened project visibility and supported its broad dissemination.\n\nRegarding management, the “Quality Methodologies & Procedures” document was released, and, as Periods 1 and 2 approached closure, Partners were provided with the main instructions for starting and managing the 1st and 2nd reporting phases, respectively. All Partners submitted their own Partner Report 1. Then, POLIMI drafted and submitted Project Report 1.  \nPOLIMI received reimbursement for both Preparation costs and the Period 1 certified amount; consequently, funds were transferred to PPs at the beginning of Period 3. On the contrary, the advance payment was transferred to IPA PPs.\nA “spending forecast and procurement monitoring” tool was shared with PPs to ensure the proper financial monitoring and to point out any possible financial delay in due advance. The collection of all contributions is still ongoing at the end of August. \n\nProject technical implementation registered progress in all different aspects. \nIn more detail, partners jointly designed and carried out 64 in-depth interviews with SMEs, utilities, NGOs, universities and public bodies in seven countries, covering topics such as water treatment, textile and household microplastics, SME innovation and civil-society engagement. This listening phase, combined with a mapping of existing initiatives and policies, led to a first set of common priorities structured into six thematic areas. Then, the focus moved to preparing Cycle 2 of stakeholder involvement. \n\nAlso, partners worked to design workshops, webinars and lectures, specifically targeting SMEs, NGOs, public institutions, and academic organisations. Partners contributed to identifying relevant topics to be included in the training library, and then they were fine-tuned, focusing on the needs of different stakeholders.  The knowledge exchange activities reached both professionals and the civil society and were attended by numerous NGOs and SMEs. \n\nOn the other side, matchmaking events served as platforms for facilitating connections between SMEs, NGOs, public institutions and academic partners, as well as for expanding the stakeholder network, identifying additional stakeholders and refining engagement methodologies. Within Cycle one, a total of 6 matchmaking events were held between February and April 2025: \n1. Skopje (20th February 2025) organised by TTA-TC; \n2. Sarajevo (25th February 2025) organised by HEIS;\n3. Milan (11th March 2025) organised by POLIMI and ROLD; \n4. Pula (27-28 Mar 2025) organised by IDA and UNIZAG-FSB; \n5. Podgorica (28th March 2025) organised by Zero Waste Montenegro;\n6. Online (16th April 2025) organised by MiA and TTA-TC. \nThen, TTA-TC coordinated the review of the matchmaking event format with the aim of proposing structural modifications for Cycle 2. \n\nPOLIMI led the effort in defining the strategy for innovation labs, preparing the Call for proposals and managing the assessment and selection process.  The 1st Call attracted five proposals led by SMEs, three from Italy, one from Slovenia and one from Croatia.  Three proposals were positively evaluated and selected for the implementation of the use-cases, but unfortunately, one of them decided to withdraw at the end of the negotiation phase.  The other two projects are proceeding according to the plans. \n\nThen, all partners actively contributed to networking activities by strengthening outreach, promoting M4W and expanding connections with relevant stakeholders.  Project presentations at multiple workshops and thematic events were done, as targeted meetings were organised.","Tirana, Pula, Zagreb, Podgorica , Sarajevo, Shtip, Ljubljana, Milano","AL, HR, ME, BA, MK, SI, IT",{"$nulls":5},10]

["IPA-ADRION00208","emerGency communication enhancement for REsilienCe to nAturaL risks and recovery from disastErs","Enhancing the resilience of Adriatic Ionian territories against natural disasters is a significant challenge for an area prone to different kinds of natural hazards. The challenge is even greater when one counts on the consequences of climate change that induce increasing severity and frequency of specific types of hazards. And it becomes even more complex for an area like Adriatic Ionian that is multinational, and is characterized by heterogeneity, different governance structures, and diverse socio-economic conditions.\n\nGRECALE stands up to this complex challenge having as its overall objective to enhance territorial resilience and disaster recovery in the Adriatic Ionian basin. The project targets two specific usecases of natural disasters: floods and earthquakes, as they affect the entire area and can have multinational and cross border effects. The project aspires to make a significant contribution towards a more resilient area, exploiting transnational cooperation in Civil Protection, leading to more harmonized and efficient frameworks and systems, overcoming Civil Protection process heterogeneity, and addressing the entire lifecycle of Civil Protection focusing specifically on the response and recovery phases, during and after an incident.\n\nTo this end, it will produce an IPA ADRION Civil Protection Innovation Platform (ACPIP) networking the entire Civil Protection Quadruple Helix in the partner territories and beyond, including public administration, Civil Protection stakeholders, academia and research, enterprises, and the private sector with an involvement in Civil Protection, the civil society, and general public. Studying the existing frameworks and systems is of paramount importance to create a unifying Civil Protection Model, for the entire lifecycle of Civil Protection and especially response and recovery phases, detailing the actors involved, the actions undertaken, the data and information exchanges, and the communications among them.\n\nAs a next step, an ADRION Civil Protection Disaster Management System (ACPDMS) portal will be developed, utilizing mature and advanced information and communication technologies that can help in the context of risk assessment and disaster management. In fact, the project capitalizes on the output of the successful ADRION TransCPEarlyWarning project and its Early Warning platform following its relevant assessment recommendations to extend so as to cover the entire lifecycle of Civil Protection operations and different types of hazards. The ACPDMS will first and foremost offer a one stop shop operation for Civil Protection stakeholders with reference to their process monitoring and management, while it will allow experimentation with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and analysis of Copernicus datasets. A multinational pilot action is envisaged in seven partner territories engaging this innovative approach and enhancing multinational cooperation in the context of collaborative training and capacity building.\n\nFinally, the project recognizes the fact that managing territorial resilience in a multinational area requires addressing political, legal, and logistical complexities. Overcoming these challenges requires building trust and establishing effective governance mechanisms. To this end and in order to have a permanent effect through uptaken outputs after the end of the project, GRECALE will draft a strategic outline comprising a set of specific policy recommendations for increasing territorial resilience, accompanied by a specific action plan detailing actions and funding instruments that can facilitate the strategy adoption.\n\nThe project follows a holistic approach along different axes: multinational and interdisciplinary networking of stakeholders, exploitation of the offerings of advanced technologies and innovation, multinational pilot actions and experimentation, multinational collaborative capacity building and upskilling, elaboration of policy recommendations and specific action plan for facilitating uptake and transferability, and wider communication and awareness building. This holistic approach has a strong transnational dimension as natural hazards do not recognize borders and they need a unifying approach in their management across national frameworks and systems.\n\nThis holistic approach also contributes to the originality of the GRECALE project. Along with the exploitation of the best offerings of ICT and innovative ACPDMS to be developed, the project will engage the entire Civil Protection Quadruple Helix in Civil Protection exercises to offer transnational upskilling. By pooling resources, expertise, and experiences, GRECALE can enhance IPA ADRION collective capacity to withstand natural hazards. GRECALE recognizes that the journey toward territorial resilience requires perseverance, adaptability, and it will produce a strategy offering IPA ADRION territories a long-term vision for a safer and more resilient future.","2024-07-01","2027-06-30","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.4.

["IPA-ADRION00395","Fostering ENergy Efficiency by means of Smart Technologies to Retrofit Apertures and building Envelope","The main challenge of the Project FENESTRAE is to create and strengthen cross-border cooperation between EU member States and Western Balkans, within the challenging framework of energy transition, the transformational opportunity offered by the European Green Deal, aiming at carbon neutrality within \n\n2050. In fact, research and development, clean energy, buildings and renovations - which are some of the pivotal elements of the European Green Deal -, will be a significant part of this proposal. On the other hand, FENESTRAE will be in line with the IPA ADRION programme, designed with an approach based on the sustainable development principle. This project can be considered a joint measure to improve innovation capabilities of the area, exploiting digital, scientific and innovation skills of partners and enabling potential economic transformation processes. The experience of partners in the field of innovative technologies for smart buildings (University of Ljubljana, University of Patras and Polytechnic University of Bari), especially devoted to the design of innovative envelopes (transparent and opaque), from design to energy and visual comfort assessments, ensure a critical mass with a focus on areas of mutual interest like energy, sustainable environment, innovative production technologies and advanced materials. On the other side, the other project partners (GAL Molise, Biznes Albania, Smart Village and NOVUS) have significant experience in development initiatives. Such an inedited consortium of scientific knowledge in the area, also witnessed by the scientific outputs of researchers involved in this initiative, would be an unprecedented opportunity to activate positive fallouts in terms of technology transfer, job creation, entrepreneurship promotion (SMEs, start-ups), and widespread awareness in citizens in such delicate terms as that of energy and its use.\nThe initial activities of the FENESTRAE Project would deal with an accurate investigation on existing regulations and technical standards in the field of energy uses in the building sector and their mitigation and is expected to produce relevant proposals of actions contributing to the harmonization of standards in such a relevant field, in view of the energy transition and decarbonization, within \n\n2050. The involvement of partners skilled in communications and dissemination will boost the multi-level governance of the proposal as well as the cooperation between Adriatic and Ionian partners, reaching a heterogeneous range of stakeholders that could be interested in the outputs of this virtuous innovation network, according to the horizontal principle of the quadruple helix (research, public and business sectors and civil society). Training and exchange activities among the partners will complete the first part of the Project activities, after intense interactions.\nPromotion and development of innovative technologies (commercially and non-commercially available yet) on which the expertise of the partners involved is already significant, like electrochromic, photo(electro)chromic, thermochromic materials and devices, and materials enabling the smart behaviour of building envelopes, together with ICT technologies devoted to their effective control, will be a relevant part of the partnership interaction during the project. A dedicated activity in this common area of specialization would exploit the skills acquired over the years. For each technology proposed, full awareness of potential benefits deriving from building integration will be achieved by means of numerical simulations on specific buildings, selected by partners and stakeholders. Data obtained, technology features and beneficial effects on indoor comfort, energy savings would be reported and publicly available, through workshops, public seminars in schools and municipalities and other dissemination opportunities created ad hoc by partners in each country. \nThe final part of the Project activities will aim at a scale-up of advanced technologies at the basis of the proposed solutions, in pilot actions including installation of several prototypes of materials and devices, to easily demonstrate the impact of such systems on users’ comfort and mitigation of energy use as well, also including applications to non-conventional buildings like greenhouses that largely rely on glass performance and are equally demanding in energy terms. The main objectives of this initiative would include: Increased skills of local operators; Increased awareness about available technologies to promote a mitigation of energy use; increase of cooperation to address challenges in common areas of specialization; the creation of a transnational partnership and a permanent network to promote innovations and upscaling from lab to market; long-term employment of young people involved in the project; boost green and digital innovation among partners with novel cooperation models.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_1) Supporting a smarter Adriatic Ionian region","RSO1.1.

["IPA-ADRION00428","Preventing drought Risks by Making resilient communitiES in the Adriatic-Ionian Region","The severe drought affecting regions of Europe, especially Mediterranean countries, in the last two decades continues expanding and worsening. Compared to the 2021, in the first six months of 2022 drought hazard increased , especially in: France, Romania and several Mediterranean Regions (Central and Southern Italy, Southern Greece, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina and the Iberian Peninsula) [(EDO)/2022]. Water supply may be compromise in the coming years. In southern Europe, the availability of water resources could drop by up to 40% with increasingly negative impacts on ecosystems, agriculture and energy production as well. Urgent transnational resilient measures as well as an improved risk preparedness and management are needed. That required the communities to be more and more active part in building adaptation strategies as well as in the implementation of effective water management measures to reduce and prevent drought risks. In one word, local communities are now called to actively build their resilience. Starting from these assumptions, the PRIMES project aims to build drought risk resilient communities throughout their full engagement and proactive participation in implementing joint prevention strategies and local community water management plans. Furthermore, it provides an innovative cooperation framework where both organizations, institutions as well as final users (industries, citizens, families, farmers, etc.) cooperate for improving, as community, their daily water footprint and their preparedness to prevent the drought risks.\n\nThe project is conceived to respond to the IPA-Adrion Priority Axis 2 challenge in the area of adaptation management, disaster risk prevention and community resilient in the AI Region.\n\nDesigned on 3 WPs, the project aims at reaching the following specific objectives: \n(1) to establish in the AI Region the PRIMES Multilevel Network for drought risk reduction and prevention as a transnational governance system which act under a concerted policy and methodology framework working for transferring locally the PRIMES strategies into concrete adaptation and prevention actions.\n(2) to adopt a joint ICT Infrastructure for strengthening interaction between Institutions and water users (citizens, farmers, schools, families, industries, public institutions, etc.), by improving drought-warning procedures and data exchange creating at the same time awareness of the risks from climate change stimulating actions of prevention and voluntary adaptation measures.\n(3) to move communities from a passive approach to the drought risk management, relevant to emergency response, to a pro-active one, supporting the phase of risk prevention through the active participation in implementing adaptation measures and actions, allowing the knowledge diffusion and innovative collaboration ways at local/regional/national/transnational level.\n\nIn the framework of WP1 the Transnational Cooperation Protocol (output \n\n1.1) officially state the establishment of the PRIMES Transnational Network as well as the 8 Local Drought Committees (LDC) including local private/public stakeholders, working for transferring locally the PRIMES strategies into concrete adaptation and prevention actions.

["IPA-ADRION00176","Enhancing Cross-Border Cooperation for Riverine Plastic Litter Reduction in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas","Plastic pollution poses a major threat to the biodiversity of the Mediterranean, particularly in the ADRION region, which stands out as a plastic pollution hotspot. Rivers are the main plastic pathways from land towards the sea, and in the Adriatic-Ionian region, various rivers are shared among countries or flow along countries’ borders. Thus, addressing riverine inputs of marine litter is a common territorial challenge, as also reflected in the recent efforts of the European Commission and the Barcelona Convention towards harmonised approaches.\nThe overarching aim of the TETHYS4ADRION project is to investigate the role of rivers in contributing to marine plastic pollution in the ADRION region and to develop and deploy mitigation strategies aimed at addressing riverine litter inputs. Specifically, the project will focus on:\n–\tFacilitating the implementation of harmonised riverine litter monitoring in the ADRION countries by adopting novel and cutting-edge methodologies and conducting coordinated pilot monitoring on selected rivers.\n–\tTesting and upscaling solutions that prevent and mitigate riverine litter pollution and restore degraded freshwater habitats from plastic pollution via targeted environmentally-sound actions.\n–\tEstablishing a comprehensive policy framework and groundwork for developing a sustainable and effective plan to manage and reduce riverine litter in the Adriatic-Ionian region.\nUltimately, the project will contribute to minimising the detrimental impact of riverine litter on the marine environment and biodiversity of the ADRION region by fostering cross-border cooperation, promoting multi-stakeholder dialogue and implementing multi-level actions. By building new knowledge and establishing a community of experts in the ADRION region, the project will pave the way for the adoption of a comprehensive and coordinated approach toward cleaner and healthier river ecosystems.\nThe main project outputs include: \n–\tJointly adopted Guidelines for riverine litter monitoring in the Adriatic-Ionian region. A robust monitoring network for collecting riverine litter data will be developed and will employ a harmonised approach to monitor and assess riverine litter in five key pilot river areas: Alfeios (Greece), Buna-Bojana (Albania, Montenegro), Soča-Isonzo (Slovenia, Italy), Neretva (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Reno (Italy).\n–\tA Blueprint on how to operationalise best practice solutions to address riverine plastic litter. The blueprint will outline the operational steps for implementing effective solutions to tackle the issue of riverine plastic litter. It will feature a carefully curated selection of best practice solutions that have been collaboratively chosen, tested, and validated by all stakeholders involved in the five pilot river areas. These solutions are designed to prevent and reduce plastic pollution in rivers while simultaneously restoring their health and integrity.\n–\tA Regional Roadmap towards zero plastics released at sea in the Adriatic-Ionian region. The Roadmap will serve as a strategic plan tailored for local, national, and regional decision-makers and policy-makers, offering actionable insights to reduce riverine litter inputs. Through a collaborative effort, experts from diverse backgrounds across all countries within the region will actively participate in crafting this roadmap, ensuring comprehensive and inclusive solutions.\n–\tA Regional Group of stakeholders committed to eliminating riverine litter inputs. In order to solidify and amplify the project impact and collective momentum, a network of regional stakeholders committed to eliminating riverine litter inputs will be created. The network will involve stakeholders from the ADRION region (and beyond) united in addressing the issue of litter entering waterways. These stakeholders typically include government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academic institutions, industry representatives and local communities. \nCommunity engagement lies at the heart of the mission of the TETHYS4ADRION project. The project actions will raise public awareness about the impacts of riverine litter through dynamic campaigns, interactive workshops, and comprehensive educational programs tailored for individuals, communities, schools, and businesses. With volunteer programs, cleanup efforts, and river restoration endeavours, the project will empower local communities to take proactive steps toward cleaner rivers, nurturing a strong sense of ownership and responsibility among all members.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.7.

We followed with a Kick-off meeting that was held in Ljubljana Oct 16-17. During the meeting special attention was given to program rules, requirements (communication, transparency, record-keeping, reporting)  as well as re-emphasising the overall goals of the project. We had a special presentation focused on financial management (given by the Project office of the lead partner) and a presentation on communication covering both programme specific requirements as well as successful examples from other projects. \n\nThe meeting was a chance for the partners to meet for the first time. The group also reviewed the intervention logic of the project with a view on implementation methods, expected results and impact of the project. An operational plan was made for the start of activities.\nThe partnership fulfilled the formal Programme requirements to complete the Subsidy Agreement and Partnership Agreement. We also established the Project Steering Committee and prepared guidelines for its functioning. We established an on-line platform in Teams for communication, document sharing and archiving. This serves as the document hub for the project. The partnership has also established its web site and project poster which is displayed at all partner premisses. In the period we have not yet established social media presence although it was already discussed by the partnership. Many partners took advantage of the webinars organised by the Programme and LP participated at the Conference in Bled.\n\nIn terms of project content two activities, A1.1 and A3.1 were started in the period in WPs 1 and 3. The main focus was on A1.1. that serves to establish the basis for further work by describing the five focal rivers of the project. Partners visited the rivers, conducted overviews, collected information on the rivers, their watersheds, environental pressures etc. Field visit were carried out during which partners also started establishing contacts with key local stakeholders (local commuities, technical operators etc.). The activities are directed to contribute to D1.1.1. (Scoping report on main features of pilot rivers...) In parallel preparations were started to develop a database (D1.1.2) in which data on the rivers will be compiled. The key point of the database is to geolocate pollution hot spots, retention areas and sources. The activity is headed by WP1 leader PP2 with the participation of all partners. In A3.1. partners started compiling a list of stakeholders and related projects that will serve as a basis for joint activities and communication and will be included in D3.1.1. (Scoping study on riverine litter...). A number of projects have been identified that have direct synergies with TETHYS4ADRION. A discussion has started on how TETHYS4ADRION could cooperate with them.\n\nA key element of communication in the period was to establish links between partners working on the same rivers and with local and regional authorities that will be instrumental in the implementation of the work program and the uptake of project results. Less attention was put on national and international organization/authorities at this early stage of the project implementation. A number of media reports about the project were managed in the period. The intention at this stage was to inform the public of what the EU funded project is doing in their local environment.\n\nDuring the period we had ad-hoc calls and communication centered on specific issues. It was decided that for the future regular monthly on-line meetings will be scheduled. During the last part of the period we started preparations for the 2nd partnership meeting that will be held in Čapljina B&H (PP10).\nDuring the 1st period primary attention was devoted to start-up activities. We consolidated the partnership and set the organization, rules, internal communication and started activities based on the approved AF.\nActivities were started with an online pre-Kick off meeting (Sept 20, 2024) and followed with a Kick-off meeting in Ljubljana (Oct 16-17, 2024).

The main focus was on A1.1. that serves as a basis for further work by describing the five focal rivers of the project. \n\nDuring the 1st and 2nd period, we worked on enhancing the visibility of the TETHYS4ADRION project, establishing connections with experts, local activists and enthusiasts, as well as with representatives of authorities and government agencies.\nThis was achieved, among other things, through the organization of the national conference (Čapljina, BH), info days (Montenegro, Albania), arranged meetings (e.g. Metković, Croatia; Ston, Croatia; Ulcinj, Montenegro; Soške Elektrarne Nova Gorica, Slovenia, etc.), fieldwork on the pilot rivers (plastic litter monitoring) involving local NGOs, participation of project partners in scientific, recreational and networking events (e.g., Integrated Water Management for Sustainable Tourism Development, Tirana, SAMESEA Online Round Table; World Water Day, Metković, Ladja Marathon, Croatia).\n\nIn the 2nd project period, in line with the project application, we completed two project activities (A 1.1 and A 2.1) and produced three deliverables (D 1.1.1, D 1.1.2, and D 2.1.1). \nWe finalized the Scoping report on the main features of the pilot rivers and their exposure to plastic litter, as well as the Database with specific data on sources, accumulation, and retention areas of litter in the wider pilot river areas across the seven countries participating in the project.\nIn doing so, we consolidated and systematized information that will serve as a long-term resource for monitoring plastic litter in these countries. This work was carried out by experts and scientists from the institutes (project partners), making it both professional and science-based.\nWe have prepared an inventory containing 41 applied solutions for the prevention and reduction of riverine plastic litter and restoration actions. This collection provides a detailed explanation of each listed solution, highlighting its application, purpose, impact, and relevance, among other aspects. The solutions included have already been tested in the Adriatic-Ionian region and other European regions. By doing so, we have systematized important knowledge on the prevention and reduction of plastic litter, which will facilitate the study of these solutions and contribute to the continuity of their application.\n\nOn May 13-14, 2025, the TETHYS4ADRION partnership meeting and Steering Committee meeting were held in Čapljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the two-day meeting, a review of achievements and tasks to date was conducted, and a plan for the next steps was developed.

["IPA-ADRION00239","Eco-Friendly Nature-based solutions to mitigate soil degradation","Soil degradation is a significant problem worldwide and is a cause for alarm, as it is an essential ecosystem related to food production, energy, carbon sequestration, water purification, and nutrient regulation. When soil degrades, it causes a decline in soil health, biodiversity, and productivity. This leads to issues at all levels of many ecosystems and significant environmental consequences such as floods and mass migration. Soil degradation is a cause for alarm, as it is an essential ecosystem related to food production, energy, carbon sequestration, water purification, and nutrient regulation. The main objectives of the ECOBASE project are the joint development of methods and strategic solutions harmonized with EU legislation to manage and improve soil health, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the protection and preservation of ADRION Region biodiversity. The second main objective is to provide innovative tools to help policymakers and farmers better understand and assess soil degradation's economic risks and social and ecological impacts and evaluate and implement different mitigation strategies/methodologies. By implementing sustainable soil management practices, the ECOBASE project helps to reduce soil erosion, prevent contamination of water bodies, and preserve natural habitats, leading to cleaner and healthier environments for the general public to enjoy. Also, the project's emphasis on sustainable agriculture and soil health directly impacts the quality and safety of food produced in the ADRION Region. This leads to healthier and safer food products reaching the market, benefiting the general public's nutritional well-being and reducing potential health risks associated with food contamination. The outputs of the project (training, soil remediation methodology, integration of innovative technologies, and continuous monitoring of soil quality) will directly benefit land operation stakeholders, promoting long-term, sustainable regional development and competitiveness, offering a significant impact on the economy, society, and environment of selected areas; increasing business opportunities; securing environmental sustainability & biodiversity; improving soil health; cleaning up pollution, and finally improving current techniques and preventing future contamination.

The project demonstrated strong coordination among partners and timely delivery of its first strategic outputs, confirming the added value of transnational cooperation in tackling common challenges.\n\nTwo core deliverables were finalized in this phase:\n1 - D.1.1.1 – Joint Needs Assessment Report.This output was the result of coordinated work under Activity A1.1, which involved all six participating municipalities (Tricase, Trebinje, Vlore, Herceg Novi, Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands, and Konavle). The work began with the development of comprehensive methodological guidelines, prepared by CERD in cooperation with scientific partners, providing a structured approach to conduct desk research, stakeholder mapping, surveys, focus groups, and interviews. Each municipality implemented a localized needs analysis with support from technical partners, also engaging stakeholders from the quadruple helix (public sector, private sector, academia, civil society). The findings were summarized into six local needs assessment reports, which were then reviewed, harmonized, and consolidated into a unified document D.1.1.1. This report outlines shared and specific challenges in the region and serves as a key reference for the development of local and joint strategies and action plans in subsequent phases of the project.\n2 - D.1.2.1 – Guidelines for Local Workshop Implementation. Led by CIHEAM Bari, with valuable input from IURC, CZP and CERD, this deliverable provides clear and practical guidance for municipalities to conduct three participatory workshops aimed at co-developing local strategies and action plans for circular economy transformation in the agrifood system. The guidelines include a detailed methodological framework, proposed tools and facilitation techniques, stakeholder engagement strategies, and communication tips. This output ensures consistency and quality in the implementation of the workshops planned for Period 2, fostering a common yet locally tailored approach across project partners.\n\nBeyond these two key outputs: \nthe Kick-Off Meeting, held on 14 October 2024 in Konavle (Croatia), successfully launched the project. It allowed partners to align on objectives, timelines, work packages, and management procedures, also with direct input from the Joint Secretariat. This was followed by WP-specific online meetings and the organization of the first online consortium meeting (organized, but scheduled in first days of March 2025), which facilitated ongoing coordination and review of progress. Partners contributed actively to joint activities, from co-designing methodologies to supporting local-level implementation. \nPreliminary actions were taken by partners to initiate implementation of the documentary foreseen under A4.6, including the contracting of experts and early content planning. Although delayed, this activity will smoothly progress from Period 2 on.\nCommunication was facilitated through online meetings, shared cloud folders, and informal channels, helping maintain strong working relationships.\nProject visibility at partner’s facilities was ensured through the production and display of the mandatory A3 poster by all partners; at the same time partners provided dedicated project sections on institutional websites. Initial news posts were also published on social media to engage stakeholders and raise awareness of the project’s goals.\nTo internally assess the qualitative status of the project, a dedicated survey has been developed by the LP to be administered to project partners in early March. The insights coming from the survey will help gather feedback on how the project is going and possible improvements. \nThe collaborative and cross-border nature of CIRCUS has proven instrumental in promoting mutual learning and the adoption of a shared vision for circular transition in the agrifood sector. This cooperation has enabled the design of common tools and templates, aligned approaches for local implementation, and the sharing of best practices across the partner network – demonstrating the strategic added-value of working together on shared regional challenges.\nDuring the first project year, the CIRCUS partnership made substantial and steady progress across WPs, with achievements accumulated from the project start and consolidated during this reporting period. The foundations for all technical activities were laid in Period 1, during which the consortium ensured a smooth start-up phase, launched coordination mechanisms, and completed the first set of strategic outputs. The Kick-Off Meeting (first consortium meeting) held in Konavle in October 2024 successfully aligned partners on objectives, timelines and methodologies, followed by regular WP-specific meetings. Two core deliverables were finalised in the first semester: the Needs Assessment Report (D1.1.1), consolidating local analyses conducted by all six municipalities; and the Guidelines for Local Workshop Implementation (D1.2.1), developed by CIHEAM Bari to ensure a harmonised approach to stakeholder engagement and workshops implementation under A1.2. Initial communication actions, visibility materials, and internal quality assessment tools were also deployed.\n\nDuring the 2nd reporting period, the CIRCUS project achieved several milestones that built upon and expanded the results previously delivered. The main achievements are reflected across all active Work Packages and demonstrate alignment with the project’s work plan.\n\nA major achievement was the completion of WP1’s core activities. All partners successfully delivered their Local Needs Assessment Reports (A1.1 – building on the consolidated output D1.1.1 finalised in Period 1) and five municipalities (Tricase, Trebinje, Vlore, Herceg Novi, Konavle) implemented the full cycle of stakeholder workshops under A1.2, producing their Local Strategies and Action Plans (D1.2.2). Although the Municipality of Corfu experienced administrative delays, it formally committed to completing the activity and submitting its Local Strategy and Action Plan by November 2025.\n\nIn parallel, CIHEAM Bari ensured the full methodological preparation of the International Bootcamp (A1.3), rescheduled to 23–24 September 2025 for justified reasons. All preparatory work—including agenda development, expert selection and coordination mechanisms—was completed during the reporting period, building directly on the methodological groundwork laid in Period 1.\n\nSignificant progress was also achieved in WP2, which officially started in this reporting period with A2.1. Municipalities initiated the identification and preliminary structuring of their Pilot Actions, based on priorities defined in their Action Plans. Initial bilateral consultations between municipal and scientific partners enabled early feasibility assessment and methodological alignment, ensuring readiness for the testing phase foreseen in the next reporting period.\n\nProgress was also made under WP4 through Activity A4.6, where CIHEAM Bari coordinated the collection of audiovisual materials for the project documentary. Several partners contributed photos, videos and interviews documenting local activities, expanding the preliminary preparatory work initiated in Period 1.\n\nThroughout the entire first project year, beyond technical implementation, the project ensured strong coordination and engagement dynamics. Two Consortium Meetings were implemented (one in each period), strengthening collaboration and ensuring partners worked in synchrony. The Lead Partner carried out two cycles of internal quality assessment surveys, confirming the adequacy of the project methodology, the coherence of outputs and the effectiveness of coordination mechanisms.\n\nFinally, the partnership maintained active engagement with stakeholders across all involved territories. Local governments, businesses, civil society actors and academia participated in needs assessments and workshop activities, reinforcing the participatory approach at the core of the project and contributing cumulatively to the definition of local and transnational strategies.","Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Corfu, Herceg Novi, Vlore, Trebinje, Laktasi, Tricase, Valenzano","HR, GR, ME, AL, BA, IT",{"$nulls":5},10]
["IPA-ADRION00233","Models and Tools for Enhancing the Resistance and the Resilience to Wildfire in Natural Protected Areas and Wildland-Urban Interfaces.","Forest fires are one of the most severe disasters affecting the IPA ADRION area. They reduce forest cover, threaten biodiversity and contribute to CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. It is therefore necessary to develop joint activities or coordinated measures to prevent the risk of forest fires and to identify possible nature-based solutions. RES2FIRE is placed in this perspective, with the common challenge of identifying common practices at transnational level that will allow a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of forest fires in the programme area, in order to increase the resistance and resilience of fire-prone ecosystems and to counteract the effects of climate change (CC). The joint solutions developed in RES2FIRE will address prevention through vegetative fuel management and, in particular, close-to-nature silvicultural interventions that can increase the resilience and resistance of ecosystems. This nature-based approach is crucial as it aligns management goals with the multiple functions of ecosystems, using minimal interventions to support natural processes.\nThe objective of RES2FIRE is to develop common solutions, procedures and methodologies to address the risk of forest fires in the IPA ADRION programme area. Achieving this goal will allow for an in-depth understanding of fire risk and the identification of ecosustainable measures to reduce the number, extent and severity of damages caused by wildfires, as well as to increase the resilience of ecosystems affected by wildfires. This is particularly relevant in the Mediterranean region, where we expect an ever-increasing rise in temperatures and heat waves, a reduction in water availability and changes in rainfall patterns, leading to more frequent and intense fire events. The solutions jointly developed by RES2FIRE will strengthen the capacity of managing authorities and decision makers to take appropriate measures to prevent and reduce the risk of forest fires, to adapt to climate change and to increase resilience.\nThe outputs of the project are: (i) Methodology for mapping Fire Hazard and Fire Risk in a changing climate; (ii) RES2FIRE Network; (iii) 4 Pilot actions on fuel treatment and sustainable management of forests and wildland-urban interfaces; (iv) 4 Jointly developed solutions to identify close-to-nature silvicultural models for reducing fire risk; (v) Model for wildfire damage and resilience assessment; (vi) RES2FIRE WebGIS tool for fire risk assessment, mitigation and climate change adaptation; (vii) Action plan for transferring measures addressed to wildfire risk prevention, mitigation and Climate Change adaptation. In particular, the jointly developed solutions and action plan will foster the transferability and the adoption of RES2FIRE outcomes not only in the partner countries but in the whole IPA ADRION area. The results of RES2FIRE can benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including regional decision-makers, managers of national parks and protected areas, municipalities, technical staff responsible for the management of forests in the partner countries, civil protection services for prevention and forecasting activities, and environmental associations promoting awareness of the correct use of public goods for protection.\nThe approach taken by RES2FIRE to develop and implement strategies, action plans, tools, training and pilot actions is transnational, because only through joint activities or coordinated actions, such as standardising procedures, harmonising data or jointly developing solutions, is it possible to increase the institutional capacity of organisations, especially in the IPA countries, to fill the existing gaps in effectively preventing the risk of forest fires and identifying possible nature-based solutions throughout the IPA ADRION area. The transnational approach is necessary to find cross-border solutions to common challenges in the programme region, such as forest fires. The RES2FIRE project aims to increase resilience to natural and man-made disasters in areas prone to forest fires by adopting common solutions, tools and action plans to effectively combat forest fires.\nThe novelty of RES2FIRE lies in the bottom-up strategy applied to forest fire prevention and mitigation through a collaborative network of relevant stakeholders, including national parks, protected forest areas, municipalities, fire brigades and so on. This approach will have a leverage effect beyond the life of the project, supporting the whole system of stakeholders in the IPA ADRION region.","2024-07-01","2027-06-30","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.4.

On October 21, 2024, a working meeting took place with representatives of Associated Partner AP3 (Municipality of Marathon) and PP3 AVMAP. Later, on December 6, 2024, an Information Day was organized at the Marathon Run Museum, attended by representatives from the Municipality of Marathon, ministries, public forestry management bodies, the local fire department, academia, the Hellenic Fire Corps Headquarters, and Assistant Professor Konstantinos Panytsidis from the University of Western Macedonia (PP5 UOWM).\nThe above-mentioned activities paved the way for strengthening the collaboration among partners and establishing a proactive stakeholder engagement.\n\nDuring the first two implementation periods, RES2FIRE achieved almost completely the first of its specific objectives. \n This involved the joint development of a harmonised methodology for fire hazard and risk mapping at a transnational level, taking into account the wide environmental variability of the IPA ADRION region and climate change  projections. This solution can also be transferred to other similar Euro-Mediterranean contexts.\nSpecifically, with regard to WP1, all activities and their associated deliverables were finalised:\n-D1.1.1 ‘Report on the knowledge framework of the wildfire risk in the study areas’, finalised in P1, characterised ten study areas, highlighting their natural and anthropic assets related to wildfire risk.\n-D1.2.1 ‘Report on standardisation of procedures and data harmonisation for fire risk mapping’, finalised in P2, implemented a harmonized methodology for assessing fire hazard, based on data provided by PPs and at the EU level, applicable across the whole IPA ADRION region and transferable to other similar Euro-Mediterranean contexts.\n-D1.3.1 ‘Report on fire hazard and fire risk mapping in current and climate change scenarios’, finalised in P2, analysed fire hazard trends for 2060 and 2100 under IPCC climate scenarios SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5. A procedure was introduced that integrated fire risk factors such as hazard, ecological vulnerability and population density in order to produce a transferable model for mapping fire risk.\n-D1.4.1 ‘RES2FIRE Kick off event’, held in Potenza in November 2024, engaged stakeholders and all PPs in person and online. An added value of the event was that it was followed by study visits to the regional and municipal Civil Protection operating rooms, which aimed to foster the exchange of knowledge and best practices among PPs.\n-D1.4.2 ‘Social media channels created and updated’, finalised in P2, elaborated a communication plan to strengthen RES2FIRE’s online presence through the official website, social media accounts, and partner-level visibility materials. Promotional materials (posters, roll-ups, brochures) were also produced and disseminated.\nAlthough O1.1 ‘Methodology for mapping Fire Hazard and Fire Risk in a changing climate’ has not yet been formalised, the specific objective mentioned above can be considered largely achieved, thanks to the finalisation of D1.2.1 and D1.3.1.\nIn reference to WP2, activities are progressing steadily towards the finalisation of the respective deliverables and the achievement of its outputs:\n-D2.1.1 ‘Report on Fire Behavior simulation model’ is being finalised. It reviews the most relevant fire modelling tools, paying special attention to the FlamMap application. It also introduces geospatial data and fuel treatments paving the way for the pilot actions and the jointly developed solutions to be achieved in P3.\n-For A2.2 and A2.3, LP1 processed the geospatial data (FlamMap landscape files and wind time series) required for fire simulations in all the study areas capitalising on other EU-funded initiatives, such as the Horizon 2020 FIRE-RES project and the ERA5-Land (Copernicus Climate Change Service). These data will be used in FlamMap to simulate the behaviour of fires before and after fuel treatments, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in relation to forest formations that are either already prevalent or at high hazard of fire in the study areas.\nThe activities related to WP3 will start in P3 in agreement with the project time plan.\nWith regard to WP4, early drafting of the technical requirements of the webGIS decision support tool for wildfire risk management (A4.1) were discussed. Functional requirements and synergies with WP1 and WP2 data outputs were introduced during working/technical meetings.\nIn relation to WP5, activities A5.1 and A5.2 were partly finalised and are still ongoing:\n-D5.1.1 ‘Report on stakeholder mapping’, finalised in P2, enabled PPs to identify relevant stakeholders, including key recipients of the project’s communication and dissemination efforts. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the entire consortium, the stakeholder database has already exceeded 200 entries and is expected to grow as the project develops and expands its outreach.\n-With regard to A5.2, dissemination activities were carried out across partner countries. RES2FIRE was presented at two events in Marathon, Greece (Oct and Dec 2024), organized by AVMAP with participation from local authorities and UOWM. \nThe 2nd consortium meeting in Banja Luka hosted by IPERS and PIKNP included a public conference with the participation of local relevant stakeholders. UOWM also showcased RES2FIRE at two academic events: the 2nd Research Project Symposium (Kozani, June 2025) and SGEM 2025 Conference (Albena, 3 July 2025), respectively.

At the same time, thanks to the transregional cooperation among project partnership regions, a joint transregional platform will be formed reaching international results in fostering digitalization by exchange of knowledge, experience and also setting up joint action plans for increase in digitalization within the partnership by forming twin regions with partnership trios (where one partner will represent the holder of a good practice to be transferred into a different region; another partner within the trio present the project partner from the region that will pilot test the good practice into their respective region; and the third partner within the trio will be the key stakeholder - such as one of the 8 associated partners, or another key stakeholder fostering digitalization).\n\nWithin the project the partnership will prepare the regional State of the Art analysis, to get an overview of the level of digitalization in each participating region. Based on this a transregional analysis will be prepared, to show how the regions can work together to increase the number of SMEs cooperating with other innovation actors by 10% and in this way foster the digitalization and implementation of I\n\n4.0 technological solutions.\nBased on such a model there will be cooperation between 9 countries of the Interreg IPA Adrion program: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia, with 1 partner from each country (and two from Slovenia - LP1 and PP10), forming 9 partnership trios, that will set up 9 actions plans for transfer of good practice for fostering digitalization, which will be pilot tested within the project and based on the pilot testing joint solutions will be developed. Additionally, a special focus will also be on closing the gap between the innovation uptake of the lagging rural areas in comparison to the more developed urban areas with a bigger capacity for uptake of innovative technologies such as digitalization.\n\nThrough the DigiTrans project the partnership will increase the digitalization uptake among regional SMEs, improve regional policies to \"strengthening research, technological development and innovation,” and contribute to achieving the strengthening of innovation capacities in the Adriatic – Ionian region.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_1) Supporting a smarter Adriatic Ionian region","RSO1.1.

This structured methodological approach has guided all project partners in conducting a comprehensive analysis of their respective regional policy frameworks to identify existing tools, mechanisms, and strategic directions that influence SME development, particularly in the areas of digitalisation and innovation.\n\nUsing this methodology, each partner has produced a detailed Regional Innovation Map, resulting in a total of nine regional maps and one overarching Transregional Innovation Map. These documents capture the current state of play in each region and collectively provide a comparative overview of the innovation ecosystems across partner territories. The process has enabled project partners to identify gaps, overlaps, and unique opportunities within their regional contexts and to benchmark these findings against one another.\n\nThis extensive baseline analysis has laid the groundwork for a shared understanding among partners regarding the strengths and weaknesses of current policy instruments. It has also helped identify areas where improvement is needed, both in terms of policy design and implementation. The transregional map, in particular, has highlighted common challenges faced by SMEs across borders, such as limited access to digital tools, fragmented innovation support systems, and underdeveloped collaboration between key actors in the innovation ecosystem.\n\nA significant component of the DIGITRANS project has been stakeholder engagement. All partner regions have made a concerted effort to involve a wide range of relevant actors, including policymakers, representatives of SMEs, innovation support organizations, chambers of commerce, academic institutions, and civil society. This inclusive and participatory approach ensures that the perspectives of those directly affected by innovation and digitalisation policies are taken into account from the outset.\n\nStakeholder engagement has taken multiple forms, tailored to regional needs and capacities. Local meetings have created space for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and priority setting. Online consultations have expanded the reach of engagement efforts, allowing for broader participation and greater inclusivity. In addition, targeted working groups have been established in several regions to delve into specific thematic areas, such as digital skills development, smart specialisation strategies, and funding mechanisms.\n\nBased on insights gained through this participatory process and the comparative findings from the innovation maps, the project partners are now in the process of drafting a set of strategic policy recommendations. \n\nAnother important achievement of the DIGITRANS project has been the development of a methodology for establishing and funding regional stakeholder groups. This methodology provides clear guidance on how to set up and sustain stakeholder engagement structures that are both inclusive and effective. In line with this, partners have already begun forming stakeholder groups in their respective regions. These groups will continue to play a crucial role throughout the project’s next phases, providing ongoing input, validating project outputs, and ensuring that the co-created solutions are rooted in real-world needs and experiences.\n\nBy combining in-depth analysis with broad stakeholder participation, the DIGITRANS project is laying a strong foundation for the development of better, smarter, and more inclusive regional policy instruments that will accelerate the digital transformation of SMEs in partner regions/countries.\nIn Semester 2, RDAPM took the lead in developing a comprehensive methodology for preparing the State of the Art reports. This methodology outlined the existing and past policy instruments that facilitated digital transformation over the last 2-5 years in the partner regions. It served as a framework for collecting relevant data, enabling partners to analyze policy instruments both as standalone entities and within a broader transregional context.\n\nKey Components of the Methodology:\n- Desk Research: Review of regional or national policy instruments supporting SME digitalization, including funding sources and goals.\n- Impact Assessment: Incorporation of SME surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies, investigate barriers to implementation, and identify unmet needs among SMEs.\n\nThis methodology was presented to all partners at the project meeting in Athens, ensuring clarity and alignment in our approach.\n\nPreparation of Regional State of the Art Reports: Following the rollout of the new methodology, each partner started drafting a Regional State of the Art Report. These reports detail the current status of digital transformation policies within their respective regions and will serve as an integral part in verifying regional data against the methodology.\n\nRegional Verification: Each regional partner (9) presented the first insights from their State of the Art Report (9) to their Regional Stakeholder Group (RSG), which provided first feedback on the findings. Once finalized, these reports will highlight the success rates of existing policy instruments, identifying those that may benefit from improvements or replacements to enhance innovation uptake among SMEs. They lay the groundwork for preparing the transregional State of the Art Report, which will serve as a basis for drawing recommendations for improvements to regional systems and identifying gaps between developed urban areas and lagging rural areas within project partner regions.\n\nThe collaborative nature of the DIGITRANS project continues to yield significant benefits:\n- Knowledge Sharing: The development and presentation of the methodology have allowed partners to share insights and best practices, laying the groundwork for a more unified approach to regional policy development.\n- Strengthened Relationships: Engaging diverse stakeholders—including SMEs, policymakers, and innovation support organizations—has built a robust network that enhances regional capacities for digital transformation.\n- Collective Problem-Solving: The joint effort to assess and analyze region-specific policies not only identifies common challenges but also promotes innovative solutions that reflect real-world needs.\n\nThe progress made in Semester 2 illustrates our commitment to facilitating the digital transformation of SMEs through a structured and collaborative approach. By developing and implementing the State of the Art Reports, we are not only enhancing our understanding of current policy frameworks but also paving the way for more effective and inclusive policy instruments. The insights gained from this semester will further support our shared goals and accelerate the digital advancement of SMEs across our partner regions.\n\nTo achieve the indicators RCR 84, RCR 79, RCR 104, preparatory activities were carried out within WP1, which are necessary for achieving the indicators themselves in the coming periods.","Maribor, Novi Sad, Treviso, Berane, Skopje, Patras, Zagreb, Tuzla, Tirana, Ljubljana","SI, RS, IT, ME, MK, GR, HR, BA, AL",{"$nulls":5},10]
["IPA-ADRION00374","Promoting Urban Resilience Through an Integrated Advanced Decision Support System for Flood Control","The Adriatic-Ionian region, with its unique geographical and climatic conditions, has been increasingly prone to severe flood events due to a combination of climate and land-use changes. These events have led to significant geomorphic adjustments of river channels and, historically, have caused substantial damage to life, property, agriculture, and tourist infrastructure. In addition, the Mediterranean and in particular the Adriatic – Ionian region is characterized as a climate crisis hotspot.\nThe URBANFLOODS project recognizes that effective flood management requires a comprehensive understanding at local and regional levels to devise suitable prevention and mitigation strategies. The project is committed to enhancing urban resilience and preparedness by collaboratively developing an advanced, integrated Decision Support System (DSS), aiming to propose short-, medium-, and\nlong-term actions/measures/policy recommendations to local stakeholders for effective flood control. The project underscores the importance of raising awareness about climate change adaptation strategies, thereby fostering a proactive approach towards climate resilience.\nThe project's overall objective is the joint development of innovative solutions for flood management based on a sophisticated information system and the implementation of pilot actions to reduce flood risks. URBANFLOODS particularly targets rivers and streams that intersect urban areas, as they often pose significant flood risks to urban communities, a situation that is being exacerbated by rapid urbanization and changing climate patterns. The joint innovative solutions will be fine-tuned taking into account the requirements/constraints and local characteristics in several pilot sites in Adriatic – Ionian area, the interchange of experiences, and practical training derived from the project's pilot initiatives. This ensures their applicability and efficacy in a variety of contexts and conditions.\nThe project’s specific outputs include:\n- Joint Development of solutions and in particular an advanced, data driven DSS that offers holistic solutions for flood management, including early warning systems and a knowledge base of transnational short-/medium-/long-term actions/measures/policy recommendations. They will be used to strengthen civil protection mechanisms by enhancing the related plans.\n- Joint implementation of pilot actions in multiple pilot sites for a shared and coordinated use of data, modelling and designing early warning systems to reduce climate change risks, testing and validating the DSS in multiple sites in Adriatic – Ionian region and enhancing stakeholder engagement in flood management by raising awareness, promoting DSS acceptance, and fostering innovation through user-friendly shared and coordinated access across all pilot sites.\n- Joint development and implementation of integrated transnational Strategies and Action Plans to coordinate measures of flood management by prioritizing nature-based solutions. These action plans can serve as a reference for other regions facing similar challenges.\n- Strengthening the cooperation among organizations across borders as in URBANFLOODS 11 partners from 8 different countries and 11 associated partners will cooperate to achieve the project’s objectives.\nThe project’s main results include jointly developed innovative solutions as well as harmonized joint transnational strategy and action plans reflecting the territorial needs for efficient and effective flood management taken up and/or considered and evaluated by organizations, while the sustainability of the solutions jointly developed will be promoted, with all partners being committed to the successful project completion and willing to continue active cooperation after the completion of the project.

Spanning multiple countries and cities in the Adriatic-Ionian area, it is grappling with the severe consequences of climate change. Flooding, droughts, landslides, storms, and wildfires have become increasingly frequent, impacting vulnerable communities and exposing the urgent need for adaptation measures.\n\nIn response to this pressing challenge, the NATURED project aims to empower policymakers and stakeholders to prevent the effects of climate change on urban areas, particularly flash floods, and urban heat islands. The project seeks to promote a just, safe, and inclusive resilience approach, prioritizing the most vulnerable groups, such as those living near rivers and those affected by heat waves.\n\nNATURED's approach is anchored in a series of interlinked activities, which include understanding the interactions between climate and cities, creating databases and digital maps for climate vulnerability and hazards in different urban zones, and engaging citizens and stakeholders to define action plans for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). These solutions will be tested in pilot actions and subsequently integrated into the public work plans of cities, with the ultimate goal of replicating the most effective solutions on a wider scale.\n\nThe transnational approach is crucial, as climate change effects transcend geopolitical boundaries. The Adriatic-Ionian region shares common vulnerabilities that demand collective efforts and joint action. NATURED's originality lies in its place-based approach and the inclusion of NbS in city public work plans, which are currently dominated by grey infrastructure approaches.\n\nThe project prioritizes Nature-based Solutions over traditional grey infrastructures.

These meetings are designed to reinforce engagement at the local level and foster collaborative input for the co-design and implementation of project activities. \n\nAmong the key achievements of the first period, a review of datasets collected by project partners has been carried out, aimed at identifying both usable existing data and gaps requiring additional inputs. As for pilot activities, early work on predesign and data integration has started, focusing on identifying which types of information can be added to the SmartApp to go beyond conventional data formats. The goal is to enrich the SmartApp with both standard transport data (e.g., GTFS, GBFS, APIs) and innovative, value-added information such as model-based indicators on walkability and bikeability, which can enhance user functionality both in the planning and in-trip phases. This includes multimodal travel planning and real-time support features customized to user needs. Project partners have received guidance on which additional stakeholders to involve, and which types of data might be relevant to collect.\n\nSignificant progress has also been made in stakeholder engagement through the drafting of the “Guidelines for Stakeholder Engagement”. This document sets out a shared framework for engaging citizens and key stakeholders across participating cities. It introduces core principles and a structured stakeholder classification, proposes the use of the Quadruple Helix model, and outlines tailored methods to engage primary, secondary, and tertiary stakeholder groups. It also defines key engagement phases such as mapping, targeted engagement planning, and continuous monitoring and evaluation. The document clearly identifies the expected outputs of stakeholder interaction, including the collection of relevant transport, environmental, and safety data; identification of user needs and requirements for the SmartApp; and the establishment of both local and transnational stakeholder networks.\n\nIn the area of communication, the “Communication and Dissemination Strategy”, which ensures consistent messaging, branding, and outreach across all participating regions was delivered.

IPA ADRION region is facing increasingly complex climate-related challenges that are making it more vulnerable and exposed to climate shocks, disasters and consequently less climate resilient. Generally, nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate resilience aim to reduce climate risks while at the same time enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services. Whereas investment in NBS for climate resilience is gradually increasing, globally, funding needs are expected to triple by 2030 to effectively address the combined climate and nature challenges. \n\nThe proposed NBS4RESILIENCE project is tackling the complex issue of various negative climate events and is presenting several fit-for-problem NBSs to increase climate resilience, safety and to overall improve the state of environment in IPA ADRION region. The main goal of NBS4RESILIENCE is to co-create, research & simulate, and transfer into enabling policy and actions plans climate resilient & risk reducing NBS considering and evaluating all their benefits regarding regulating climate and disaster risks as their primary design intention and goal. \n\nTo achieve its ambition, NBS4RESILIENCE will facilitate the participatory process in gathering and enhancing state-of-the-art knowledge of NBS tailored for risk reduction and climate resilience and offer future guidance to decision makers on how to integrate citizens' participation into “NBS 4 climate resilience” interventions. With this, NBS4RESILIENCE will explore community benefits encompassing climate resilience, health, and inclusion based on implementing NBS for climate resilience. By introducing “participatory climate resilient planning”, NBS4RESILIENCE aims at changing people’s and public authorities' perception of resilient transition from something that \"would be nice to do\" to something that “has to be done and would love to do\". This method will be tested through identification of urban climate challenges in each region/city through newly established \"CLIMATE RESILIENCE FORUMS\" as local nodes. A transnational \"NBS for Climate Resilience\" competition will be organised to develop interdisciplinary NBS solutions for more resilient and greener living. \n\nBased on the all-encompassing co-creation process, NBS4RESILIENCE will empower public actors to take action by showcasing 6 IPA ADRION pilots in 6 IPA ADRION countries to address 6 types of negative climate events: flooding (SI), erosion and landslide risk, heat (MNE), drought and water flow regulation, coastal resilience (EL), and prevention of wildfires (BIH). The pilot actions jointly developed, tested, evaluated, peer-reviewed and cross-simulated will result in \nthe joint Transnational Climate Resilient NBS-based Transition Strategy for IPA ADRION validating different innovative risk reducing NBS options.\n\nFinally, NBS4RESILIENCE will foster long-term science-policy-practice collaborations that will deliver several policy proposals, and complemented NBS standards that will enable and catalyze implementation of NBS for climate resilience.

["IPA-ADRION00103","Adriatic Sensitive Areas Protection – mechanism","Despite the fact that sea traffic is considered a relatively green and safe branch of transport and that international standards of navigation have raised to very high levels, accidents at sea can always happen. Especially in marine environments, since waters are fluid by definition, pollution does not stop at state borders: in this context, mutual support and transnational coordinated response at sea are crucial to save the environment, to protect the citizens and to uphold local and national economy from the effects of pollution. \nBased on the experience acquired in the North Adriatic, the Adriatic Sensitive Areas Protection – mechanism (ASAP) project aims at transferring knowledge and best practices from that area to the whole Adriatic basin in order to strengthen maritime protection from the effects of the spill-over of pollutants, especially in case of big-scale accidents at sea that cannot be managed by a single Country and need to be faced at joint transnational level.\nASAP combines environmental risk assessment and analysis of available (and missing) anti-pollution resources, with preparedness, technical capacities and response procedures in all six Adriatic Countries involved (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia): common intervention rules, i.e., the Standard Operating Procedures, will be designed for allowing joint response, with a strong focus on easing transnational communications in case of accidents. \nOperators and first responders of target IPA partner countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro) will be involved in a training path, so to develop the same skills and to align their knowledge with the northern Adriatic partners. Common training classes will be structured, involving subjects as well from Croatia, Italy and Slovenia, in order to reinforce the transnational interoperability of responders during accidental maritime pollution. Three exercises will be organised to test this mechanism in North Adriatic, South Adriatic and in Central Adriatic. At the end of the project, a road map for setting up a Permanent Coordination Plaform (PCP) will be finalised and a structured intervention mechanism promoted.","2024-09-01","2027-02-28","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.4.

The meeting established the Steering Committee and identified internal coordination rules, which were included in the ASAP Implementation and Management Plan prepared by CEI-ES and approved by all partners. \nTo ensure coordination and monitoring of activities, partners met virtually every two months on the first Wednesday of the month at 9:30 AM, on November 6, 2024, and January 8, 2025, via the Teams platform, which is also used to share project documentation and a calendar of deadlines.  All partners set up internal teams, identified roles, and conducted the necessary public procurements for project implementation. Partners fulfilled obligations as well in JEMS, including contracting and providing partner information.\nCoordination was ensured also regarding financial and administrative aspects, and a virtual meeting on reporting was organized on February 24 to assist partners in preparing their first financial reports. Additional bilateral meetings were held during the period, including one on November 8 with the NGO Our Action and another on January 23 with the University of Ljubljana. \nFrom the start, a strong cooperation with the Interreg IPA Adrion programme authorities was established, providing opportunities to partners to attend webinars like the Interact webinar on October 3 and the event in Bled on October 22, and another Interact webinar on February 11. \nDuring the initial reporting period, Work Package 1 and 2 laid the groundwork for future implementation, starting with the elaboration of work plans. In Work Package 1 (WP1), key activities included creating a Joint Methodology for implementation (Activity 1.1), drafted by the OGS-WP leader with input from the University of Ljubljana and CEI-ES, alongside contributions from other partners. Multiple virtual meetings occurred during the semester, with discussions on data collection and synergies with other projects. WP1 is on track, with some tasks completed ahead of schedule, including stakeholder consultations (Activity 1.2) that began already in October 2024.  Focus groups were organized in Bosnia-Herzegovina (10 October 2024) and in Albania (19 February 2025), engaging local stakeholders and representatives from relevant ministries and embassies. Data collection, research, and modeling activities (Activity 1.3) were also conducted by the responsible partners, especially Maritime Traffic Analysis (UL FPP) and Vulnerability Assessment (OGS), with support from all PPs . Regarding Activity 1.4, the graphic design and a uniform form to collect data on stakeholders,  services, assets and equipment were developed. As part of Activity 1.5, public procurement process to purchase the HNS spill simulator was completed, and all partners will utilize the simulator in future Activities 2.2 and 3.2.\nWork Package 2’s implementation began ahead of schedule as well, with the Joint Methodology finalized by the end of the first period, which included minor work plan adjustments to schedule some activities earlier.  The WP2 Leader -MSTI proposed the revision of the planned timeline of implementation of the anti-pollution exercise, discussed it with the LP and JS (27 January 2025 and 10 February 2025), then  the change was approved by the ASAP Steering Committee. Along with this modification, the anti-pollution exercise in Croatia is going to be organized  in Period 3 instead of 5, as a back-to-back event with the SAREX exercise.\nPreliminary activities for Work Package 3 and project capitalization at the ADRION and Mediterranean levels were conducted. CEI-ES was invited to present the ASAP project at key meetings, such as the EUSAIR TSG3 meeting on November 12, 2024, and the Second Coordination Meeting on the Mediterranean Strategy for Marine Pollution Prevention on November 21, 2024, thanks to associated partners’ involvement. \nFinally, CEI-ES coordinated all communication and dissemination efforts. The ASAP Communication Strategy was finalized by January 2025. Initial communication requirements were met, including designing a project poster and website, creating a communication kit, producing a project brochure, and launching a social media campaign on an ad hoc LinkedIn profile. Partner websites dedicated to ASAP were established, and their content was regularly updated with news about the project. CEI-ES also assisted all partners in revising dissemination materials and products.\nFollowing a highly successful first semester, the second reporting period confirmed significant progress across all Work Packages and coordination activities.\nThe period opened with the first Steering Committee meeting held after the Kick-off Meeting, on 25 March in Portorož and hosted by the University of Ljubljana. All partners, associated institutions, and the Joint Secretariat participated either in person or online. The meeting reviewed ongoing progress and planned the main activities for 2025. In order to strengthen coordination as technical work intensified, partners agreed to increase the frequency of virtual meetings from bi-monthly to monthly. CEI-ES therefore organised meetings on 2 April, 7 May, 4 June, 2 July, and 6 August.\nWP1 (Mapping and Modelling) aims to analyse environmental and operational risks in the Adriatic and to map available national resources for marine pollution response.\nWP1, coordinated by PP2–OGS, advanced substantially. Three stakeholder consultation workshops were held in Sarajevo (October 2024), Durrës (February 2025), and Kotor (June 2025), providing essential input for the analyses. The vulnerability assessment was completed, resulting in a vulnerability map for the entire Adriatic coastline. The Maritime Traffic Analysis was also finalised, identifying 89 potential incident points. The Adriatic Risk Assessment will be completed once the oil spill simulations are concluded. The University of Ljubljana also progressed in mapping national anti-pollution resources. Data is currently being uploaded to a shared online platform that will enable Adriatic countries to view available response capacities in real time. WP1 will be completed in Period 3, as planned.\nWP2 (Testing) focuses on strengthening operational readiness and cooperation through joint exercises and targeted training on pollution response.\nIn coordination with partners and the Joint Secretariat, the Croatian at-sea exercise was rescheduled to October 2025 to align with the SAREX exercise organised with EMSA, EFCA, and FRONTEX. PP6–MSTI drafted the ASAP Standard Operating Procedures and the scenario for the first anti-pollution exercise, both shared with partners. Monthly and ad hoc virtual meetings ensured continuous coordination. Preparations for training activities progressed, with several modules scheduled for Period 3: Maritime English, simulator-based training, and at-sea response and shoreline clean-up exercises in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Training in Albania has been postponed to Period 4.\nWP3 (Sustainability) aims to ensure that ASAP results feed into wider Adriatic–Ionian and Mediterranean cooperation frameworks and support long-term policy alignment.\nAlthough the full WP3 methodology is still being finalised, initial coordination activities began. The Lead Partner and several national partners participated in meetings organised by AP6–REMPEC, contributing to the Mediterranean Strategy. EUSAIR Pillar 3 coordinators were regularly informed, ensuring coherence between ASAP and regional policy initiatives.\nAs a cross-cutting activity, project coordination and communication ensured efficient management, reporting, financial flows, and dissemination of project results. All partners established internal teams, defined roles, and completed the necessary public procurements. They fulfilled JEMS obligations, including partner contracting and data submission. The first project report was approved, enabling funds to be distributed to all partners. LP–CEI-ES coordinated all communication and dissemination activities. With strong partner involvement, the ASAP project achieved high public visibility, reaching 176 followers on social media at the time of writing.\n","Kotor, Tirana, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Koper, Rijeka, Portoroz-Portorose, Sgonico, Trieste","ME, AL, BA, HR, SI, IT",{"$nulls":5},9]

["IPA-ADRION00151","PREserving BIOdiversity in coastal DUNEs from tourism pressure","The need to assess and address the growing presence of coexisting environmental threats that undermine coastal habitats in the Adriatic-Ionian area and beyond, and that propagate in space and time even across geographic and political boundaries, requires coordinated transactional action based on evidence-rooted common understanding.\nOver the past few decades, increased urbanization for tourism and recreational purposes has led to a global decline in coastal dune ecosystems. In particular, activities associated with tourism, such as dune reshaping or flattening, beach cleaning, motor vehicle traffic, and trampling are threats that cause serious environmental degradation. Additionally, the state of wellness of these ecosystems is significantly impacted by pollution and climate change. In an analogous way the inflow of fertilizers and other nutrients through runoff can change the chemical profile of coastal dunes and diminish their biodiversity.\nPREBIODUNES will:\n- Implement four pilot activities in four different countries (2 ERDF - Italy, Greece - and 2 IPA - Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro) for the conservation and the restoration of natural coastal dune habitats.\n- Implement an Action Plan to join all stakeholders in a common strategy, ambitiously implementing recommendations to enhance the well-being of coastal ecosystems for future generations.\n- Engage the stakeholders through the creation of a network of Quadruple-Helix representatives to promote a common response to existing challenges related to biodiversity loss and endangered coastal dune habitats.\n- Implement IT tools and a low-cost video-monitoring system for monitoring of vulnerability of dune systems and assessing the impacts of the intervention foreseen in the testing phase. \n- Define common procedures for conservation and restoration of dunes habitat, including the creation of a germaplasm bank of the species in the area.\n\nThe effects of these actions will be to:\n- Increase the capacity of authorities and the community at large to observe, assess, and address environmental risks;\n- foster access to and use of existing information and joint project products.\n- Increase in the level of awareness of the local population and stakeholders of the importance of these habitats, not only for their landscape value, but also as a means to address climate change effects \n- Enhance capacity building by training local actors in the planning and management of coastal sand dunes in the participating Countries.\n- The project will also capitalize on knowledge provided by previous projects and existing EU projects, and will contribute to the definition of action plans for assessing and addressing environmental risks of the Ionian and Adriatic dune habitats.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.7.

In its first six months, the project has successfully moved from planning to coordinated implementation, combining scientific research, technical development, and strategic communication to address the challenges facing coastal biodiversity.\n\nThe project officially launched with a joint kick-off meeting in October 2024, which brought all involved teams together to align on goals, timelines, and responsibilities. This collaborative start laid the foundation for efficient coordination and a shared vision moving forward.\n\nMain objectives reached and outputs delivered:\n- Launch of technical activities: Field and analytical work began under the first work package, focusing on the detailed analysis and mapping of coastal dune ecosystems. A comprehensive guideline was developed and finalized, outlining standardized scientific methods, data requirements, and field protocols. This document ensures a consistent approach to data collection and analysis across all sites.\n\n- Data collection and baseline studies: Efforts have been made to gather existing studies, scientific literature, and environmental data to assess biodiversity, coastal dynamics, and human impacts. These activities have helped build a structured database and provided critical baseline knowledge for the project’s next phases.\n\n- Development of shared tools: A geographic information system (GIS) framework is under development to support integrated data management and visualization. Discussions and design planning have enabled the project to determine effective data collection methods and ensure system usability across different teams and regions.\n\nCommunication and outreach: A coordinated communication strategy has been initiated, including the design of the project’s visual identity and the launch of social media channels. These platforms will help raise awareness, engage local communities, and share project outcomes with a wider audience.\n\nOrganizational readiness and capacity building: Internal procedures, technical staffing, and tendering processes have been launched to support smooth implementation. Coordination meetings have also strengthened alignment on scientific methods and helped build capacity where needed, ensuring all activities move forward efficiently.\n\nAdded-Value of the Cooperation:\nThe strength of the PREBIODUNES project lies in its collaborative and cross-border approach. The project has been able to pool expertise, harmonize methodologies, and foster mutual learning. This cooperation enhances both the quality and the impact of the work, ensuring that conservation efforts are grounded in science and supported by strong institutional and community engagement.\n\nThe project has built a solid foundation for future conservation actions through coordinated planning, shared technical tools, and collective commitment. The achievements so far reflect the value of joint action in protecting vulnerable coastal habitats and biodiversity.\nDuring the first stages of implementation, PREBIODUNES has achieved substantial progress in building a solid scientific, operational, and cooperative foundation for all future activities. Thanks to close collaboration among all partners, the project has completed the baseline studies necessary to understand the ecological, geomorphological, and environmental conditions of the pilot areas in Italy, Greece, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. These achievements mark a major step toward designing effective nature-based solutions (NBS) for coastal dune protection and restoration across the Adriatic–Ionian region. Similar studies were conducted on the replication case study in Albania.\n\nOne of the most important accomplishments has been the coordinated fieldwork campaigns carried out in each country. Partners conducted extensive on-site investigations, collecting ecological, sedimentological, and spatial data and performing detailed vegetation, habitat, and faunistic assessments. The consortium implemented intensive field campaigns between April and June, applying cognitive, floristic, and ecological analyses that resulted in three key deliverables under Activities 1.1 and 1.2. All contribute to preparing two core baseline reports summarising habitat conditions and pressures, compiling and organizing the majority of geobotanical and faunistic information required at this stage. Together, these efforts produced updated floristic inventories, species lists, structural habitat descriptions, and maps of degradation patterns, as well as identifying invasive species and documenting the major threats, e.g. erosion, trampling, unregulated access, and infrastructure pressure, affecting dune systems across the region.\n\nThese national studies were developed within a unified methodological framework, agreed upon and coordinated through bilateral meetings, technical exchanges, and the transnational meeting held in Athens in June 2025. This ensured that data from all pilot sites are comparable and can be combined into a coherent regional understanding. The cross-country comparison has already proven highly valuable, highlighting shared challenges, including sea-level rise, storm impacts, fragmented dune belts, and unsustainable tourism, as well as unique local vulnerabilities requiring site-specific attention.\n\nIn parallel, significant progress has been made on the development of the project’s GIS-based planning and monitoring tool. POLIBA and CTI jointly initiated the creation of a shared WebGIS platform, defining its structure, data layers, and technical requirements. CTI also prepared a functional GIS prototype for the Kiani Akti pilot area, integrating administrative boundaries, zoning layers, and ecological datasets produced under WP1. All partners have started supplying geodata in compatible formats, laying the groundwork for a unified transnational system that will support evidence-based decision-making for future restoration actions and the Joint Action Plan.\n\nCommunication and coordination activities further strengthened project cohesion and stakeholder engagement. The launch of the project website and social media channels, combined with a monthly editorial plan, has increased visibility and public awareness on dune conservation, sustainable tourism, and coastal resilience. The Athens meeting brought together partners, experts, and local authorities, reinforcing the value of joint learning and shared methodologies.\n\nOverall, PREBIODUNES has successfully established a strong scientific and organisational foundation for its next phase. Partners are benefiting from shared protocols, cross-border knowledge exchange, and a harmonized approach to monitoring and understanding coastal dune ecosystems. This transnational effort is enabling the consortium to build a robust, science-based platform on which effective restoration and conservation actions will be designed in the coming periods, ultimately contributing to healthier, more resilient coastal landscapes across the Adriatic–Ionian region.","Sarajevo, Podgorica, Tirana, Rijeka, Patra, Preveza, Gallipoli, Bari","BA, ME, AL, HR, GR, IT",{"$nulls":5},10]

Harnessing urban mobility ecosystems (local participation) and uniting them into a transnational cooperation (transnational experience exchange) can bring added value in this endeavour. \nTackling this challenge head-on, the TERRAIN project brings together an ambitious partnership representing a right mix (differentiations in population, size, economy, development levels) of ERDF – Ioannina, GR; Bologna, IT; Ljubljana, SI; Zagreb, HR - and IPA cities – Sarajevo, BA; Berane, ME; Pancevo, RS; Skopje, MK; Durres AL - for engaging them in an intense mentor – mentee approach for upgrading sustainable urban mobility.\nΑ shared and empowering source of inspiration for the cooperation in TERRAIN is that the 4 ERDF cities represented are part of EU’s Mission of ‘100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030’. Having as an ultimate goal to widen the effect of carbon-free mobility, TERRAIN project is engaging ADRION IPA cities in an intense twinning programme with the 4 ERDF cities. Experience donation is placed in the centre of the peer-learning goal of TERRAIN; \n-\tERDF TERRAIN cities are exchanging progress on mobility interventions supporting shift to sustainable, net-zero transport with a scope to improve their policy instruments and support the mobility related action plans\n-\tIPA TERRAIN cities bring in the table challenges they face and co-identify solutions with the rest partners\n-\tEU TERRAIN cities, taking mentor’s role, support IPA cities - mentees, in selecting and pilot testing measures that have been pre-assessed by the established TERRAIN mobility living labs (main innovation for the area).\nThe overall objective of TERRAIN is clear: to revolutionize mobility and create a greener future. By implementing innovative mobility solutions, the project aims to make a lasting change in the current transportation paradigm, addressing pressing issues like traffic congestion, air pollution, limited urban green spaces, uncontrolled touristic flows, low participatory mobility planning levels, limited interface among stakeholders and mobility users (citizens and citizens). \nThe project will establish/continue the legacy of 9 self-sustained Living Labs (LLs) in each participating city, acting as real-world testing grounds for innovative mobility solutions. \nTERRAIN delivers transformative outputs: a pioneering TERRAIN Excellence Hub (closely cooperating partners) and 9 insightful TERRAIN pilots (one per TERRAIN case) co-developed within Living Labs. These outputs empower urban functional areas, drive innovation, and pave the way for sustainable mobility across the Adriatic-Ionian (AI) Region. \nA transnational approach lies at the heart of TERRAIN's methodology. By bringing together cities from diverse territories covering almost the whole AI Region, each with their unique characteristics, the project taps into the power of collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas. This transnational perspective allows for a deeper understanding of mobility issues, promotes the sharing of best practices, and ensures that solutions are tailored to specific urban contexts.\nWhat sets TERRAIN apart is its commitment to innovation and its pioneering spirit. The project takes a bold and forward-thinking approach, leveraging emerging technologies, smart solutions, and data-driven planning to revolutionize the way we move; TERRAIN LP, being mobility expert from the research area, supports the whole partnership at an horizontal level giving its expertise to sustainable mobility co-planning while 4 mobility sub-cluster mentors are nominated based on their expertise;\n-\tNo1: Smart and Digital Mobility (PP4 representing Ljubljana)\n-\tNo2: Shared and Active Mobility Solutions (PP6 representing Zagreb)\n-\tNo3: Integrated Public Transport and Multi-modal Solutions (PP5, Municipality of Bologna)\n-\tNo4: Electromobility Transition (PP8, Municipality of Ioannina).\nThe above 4 sub-clusters of mobility interventions reflect key areas where smart sustainable mobility practices can be further developed and implemented. \nIn a world where sustainable mobility is no longer a choice but a necessity, TERRAIN stands as a beacon of light and progress. Through collaboration, innovation, and a transnational perspective, this project aims to reshape the transportation landscape of the Adriatic-Ionian Region.

["IPA-ADRION00062","Cold IRoning ASsessment Implementation Model","According to International Maritime Organization (IMO) shipping industry is emitting approximately 940M tons of CO2 annually totaling for about \n\n2.5% of the world’s total CO2 emissions. Whilst most of these emissions are occurring on ships whilst being in motion on sea/rivers/lakes, certain amounts occur upon ships calling/being berthed at ports. In present times, “cold ironing” denotes the process of providing shoreside electrical power to ships berthed at the port while their main and auxiliary engines are turned off. Cold ironing has been recognized as an effective measure for reducing harmful emissions from ships while they are being berthed at ports especially taking into consideration EU-approved Directive 2014/94/EU, which mentions the member states should implement alternative infrastructure like shoreside power technologies by \n\n2025. Shift towards “green” energies with the ultimate goal of decreasing CO2 (and accordingly other Green House Gasses) footprint and achieving carbon neutrality in ports might seem like an easy task but is often faced with challenges.\nMain objective of project CIRASIM is providing a better insight into cold ironing implementation opportunities and challenges by analyzing specifics of each project's participating partner port – Ploče, Ancona, Durres, Volos and Belgrade with each port being defined by specific set of factors directly affecting its operations and therefore directly affecting its ability to implement appropriate cold ironing solution. One of the most prominent factors on ports’ side is defined by type(s) of vessels calling/visiting port(s) i.e., bulk ships, container ships, ro-ro ships, cruise ships, liner passenger ships, etc. Second most prominent factor is defined by port’s infrastructural elements such as space and/or electricity grid limitations needed for providing plausible cold ironing implementation(s) and overall possibility to provide related services based upon electricity produced from various “Green” sources. Therefore, project CIRASIM aims on providing analysis of selected ports with different specialization set throughout their cooperation in order to define individual/common port challenges and opportunities and define possible ways of solving them. Ultimately, based on state-of-the-art reports provided by participating partner ports an online tool will be produced to help (partner) ports define their cold ironing implementation gains regarding reduction of CO2 towards achieving zero carbon footprint.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_3) Supporting a carbon neutral and better-connected Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO3.2.

More than one hundred stakeholders were identified, leading to initial cooperation through meetings and consultations. This engagement provided valuable insights into regional blue economy ecosystems and revealed opportunities for collaboration and innovation.\n\nCapacity-building activities advanced under Activity 1.4, with the development of five comprehensive training modules addressing the fundamentals of the blue economy, sustainable water management, policy-making, innovation, and governance. These modules, coordinated by Agencija CT, combined theoretical and practical approaches and will serve as a cornerstone for knowledge exchange and future trainings.\n\nWithin Work Package 2, preparatory work began for the “Territorial Co-Planning Workshops” aimed at building a transnational network for sustainable blue growth. Several partners organized local and online workshops, bringing together stakeholders from multiple sectors to identify common challenges and opportunities. Although some workshops were postponed due to the summer period, the activity laid a strong foundation for the co-creation process to continue in the next reporting period.\n\nIn addition, significant progress was made in developing the BLUNEW acceleration model under Activity 2.3, led by Envolve Entrepreneurship. The initial framework for an incubation and acceleration pathway was drafted, integrating international best practices to support innovation and entrepreneurship within the blue economy.\n\nAt the local level, partners strengthened implementation capacity through staff recruitment, procurement of external expertise, and stakeholder consultations. These actions ensured compliance with administrative requirements and reinforced the project’s impact within each territory.\n\nOverall, the BLUNEW partnership demonstrated strong cooperation and consistent progress across all key areas. The joint efforts during this period established a solid basis for the implementation of pilot activities and the consolidation of the transnational blue economy network in the next phase of the project.","Tirana, Glumovo, Skopje, Cetinje, Fier, Niš, Banja Luka, Voula, Makarska, Verona, Venezia, Koper-Capodistria","AL, MK, ME, RS, BA, GR, HR, IT, SI",{"$nulls":5},11]
["IPA-ADRION00227","Resilience and Protection of Critical Entities in Europe","RECIPE 2024 will jointly tackle – through the development of new solutions in building resilience and protection of critical entities in the Adriatic-Ionian area– a few of the common challenges of the Programme area. The direct impact will be in the next areas: a) uneven digital transformation, digital solutions, and digital transition; b) the issue of innovation development. The impact will be addressed in the following way - the project will lay the basis for the uniform digital development of the expected project results in all countries and at the level of all project partners and critical entities that will be involved in the project activities. The indirect impact will be in the next areas: a) impact on the preservation of the environment, biodiversity, and natural and cultural beauty of the Adriatic-Ionian area; b) standardization of best solutions in the areas of water management, climate change, natural disasters, and gateway processes (such as rail, road, and air transports); c) support for Adriatic-Ionian governance and multinational initiatives. The project will develop guidelines for the procedures that will improve the operation and regulation of the critical entities, which will result in their better management, reduced risk of incidents, and reduced costs of supply and operation, which will have positive effects on the impact of climate change.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to develop new solutions and procedures – all with the recognized common challenge of the program area from the previous paragraph – for the critical entities, as providers of essential services, which play an indispensable role in the maintenance of vital societal functions, economic activities, and security in an increasingly interdependent Europe, European Union, and accordingly the Adriatic-Ionian area. It is therefore essential to set out a framework of joint solutions with the aim of both enhancing the resilience and protection of critical entities by laying down harmonized minimum procedures and assisting them by means of coherent and dedicated support. Critical entities are currently not sufficiently well prepared to respond to risks to their operations that could lead to disruptions in the provision of key services. Therefore, with this project, we expect to make changes for the better compared to the current situation.\n\nAlthough the SO \n\n2.\n\n1. Enhancing resilience to climate change, natural and man-made disasters in AI region of Programme Priority 2 is the main SO, the Priority's 1 (Supporting a smarter Adriatic and Ionian region) SO \n\n1.1 Strengthening innovation capacities in the Adriatic – Ionian region will also be addressed through uptaking and testing advanced technologies through pilot and joint actions (explained in WP3 elaboration).\n\nThe main outputs of this project and what we will produce will be to develop methodology and initiate risk assessments in partner countries for their most vulnerable assets, as well as develop resilience strategies – solutions that do not exist so far, and represent an obligation according to the Directive (EU) 2022/2557 of 14 December 2022 on the resilience of critical entities. All Adriatic-Ionian states will benefit from the above, as well as national, regional, and local public authorities, critical entities, public and private innovation and development agencies, research institutions, rescue and emergency organizations, and the population of SMEs (main target groups). Additional output is the RECIPE CER risk assessment/management support tool which will support the management of hybrid threats, including climate change in project partners countries.\n\nOur approach will be very inclusive and will involve a large number of actors from the main target groups through various activities (joint workshop, pilot actions and conference). While a transnational approach is needed in order to best realize the transfer of experience, capacity building, and strengthening of cooperation ties through the creation of networks, joint action plans, and joint strategies. In addition, we will thereby achieve boosting the beneficiaries' know-how, which will have a particularly positive effect on the enlargement process of the IPA state by setting in place common approaches and the achievement of shared goals, reaching beyond the acquis Communautaire topics.\n\nWhat is new and original in this project is the development of new solutions that so far do not exist at the level of the European Union, as well as in the Adriatic-Ionian area, which will result in a reduction of costs, an increase in the resilience, safety, and functionality of the work of critical entities, where all target groups will have numerous direct and indirect benefits. It is equally important that the mentioned solution will be available to everyone in the European Union and this will be the transfer of knowledge and solutions from the Adriatic-Ionian area to the entire Union and Europe.","2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-B_IPA-A_2) Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region","RSO2.4.

The second meeting of the steering committee will be held online approximately halfway through the second semester of the project to take stock of the project activities and finalize the completion of the activities and the achievement of the established deliverables (D.1.8.1)\nWe are in the initial phase of the project and therefore in the preparation phase and beginning of the creation of the solid and collaborative innovation network that will successfully test and implement science-based solutions for the collection and recycling of marine litter.\nThe concrete results will be seen starting from the end of the first year of the project with the completion of the activities of WP1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 that will provide us with the first concrete data of the innovation network. Good collaboration and cross-border cooperation between the partners.\nDuring the first year of implementation, the PREVENT project has advanced consistently according to the timeline and structure defined in the Application Form. Activities under Work Package 1 have been successfully launched and coordinated by the Lead Partner (POLIBA), ensuring sound management, methodological coherence, and continuous guidance to all partners. The project has already delivered its initial outputs and established solid foundations for achieving its overall objective: promoting climate change adaptation and resilience through science-based solutions for marine litter prevention and management in the Adriatic-Ionian region.The project officially started with the Kick-off Meeting and first S.C. held in Bari on 24–25 October 2024. The event gathered all partners and marked the operational start of the project, setting up governance, communication protocols, and reporting procedures. A second Steering Committee was organised online in June 2025, ensuring coordination, risk management, and quality control.Under Activity 1.1, POLIBA prepared and coordinated the MoU establishing the Adriatic-Ionian Marine Litter Innovation Network (AIMLIN), which has been signed by all partners and key stakeholders, including new members such as research institutes and NGOs. This Network represents the backbone of PREVENT’s transnational cooperation, fostering knowledge exchange and cross-sectoral collaboration. Within Activity 1.2, led by SEACRAS (PP10) and supported by all partners, in-situ monitoring of marine pollutants was implemented in selected coastal and marine sites (Korčula, Mljet, Boka Kotorska Bay, among others). Monitoring plans were jointly designed, and data are being collected and processed through a common methodology. A major innovation achieved during this period was the development of the PREVENT Mobile Application, enabling citizens and tourists to report pollution events in real time. The data are integrated into the project’s web-based dashboard, reinforcing early detection and citizen engagement.Under Activity 1.3, led by UKLO and NCSRD, extensive research was conducted on historical marine litter events. The main outputs include the Literature Review Summary Report, the Stakeholder Consultation Report (with over 120 responses collected across the region), and the Database of Critical Marine Litter Events, providing a comprehensive overview of pollution trends, causes, and impacts. This database serves as the scientific foundation for the development of future policy measures and interactive tools. Activity 1.4 focused on transnational meetings and stakeholder engagement. Two major events were organized: one in Slovenia (March 2025) and the other on the island of Rhodes (June 2025), bringing together local authorities, NGOs, and research institutions. The Knowledge Database was developed. These meetings promoted dialogue, the exchange of best practices, and the integration of new members into AIMLIN.Under Activity 1.5, the interactive online database and AI-powered dashboard (“Prevent Web Application”) were designed and deployed. This innovative digital platform integrates data from citizen science, satellite imagery, and historical records. It features real-time mapping, data filtering, and an AI-based knowledge tool (“PreventGPT”), allowing users to access and analyse scientific and policy documents through an intelligent search and visualization system. This tool represents a major technological achievement of PREVENT and a lasting contribution to regional knowledge sharing.In Activities 1.6 and 1.7, led by READ S.A., the project’s communication and visibility were strengthened. Key outputs include the Communication Strategy, project identity, brochure, social media channels, and dissemination materials (poster, banner, newsletters, press releases). Regular updates and campaigns on social media have significantly increased project visibility and stakeholder engagement.Finally, Activity 1.8, coordinated by POLIBA and CNA Lecce, ensured the effective functioning of project governance through the Steering Committees and internal management tools. A dedicated Risk Assessment and Management Report was also prepared to support sound implementation.Across all activities, the partnership demonstrated strong transnational cooperation and knowledge transfer. \nPartners from academia, research, public bodies, and SMEs contributed complementary expertise—from advanced monitoring technologies to stakeholder engagement and communication—creating strong synergies and shared ownership of results. The project achieved notable progress in its first year, delivering planned outputs, consolidating the AIMLIN network, and developing innovative tools for marine litter monitoring and prevention.

["IPA-ADRION00510","Land and Soil Sensors System","In a concerted effort to tackle the pervasive challenges in adopting and expanding Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems for disaster prevention, the LANDS project emerges as a beacon of innovation and collaboration. Recognizing the hurdles often encountered in transferring technology from research domains to commercial entities — commonly referred to as the \"valley of death\" — this ambitious initiative seeks to empower Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to effectively harness research findings and translate them into tangible products and services.\n\nAt its core, the LANDS project sets out to amplify the impact of cutting-edge technologies in ICT systems and disaster prevention by overcoming barriers to adoption and implementation. Central to its mission is the development and enhancement of research and innovation capabilities, alongside fostering the uptake of advanced technologies. With a keen focus on smart specialization, industrial transition, and entrepreneurship, the project aims to cultivate a fertile ground for the emergence of Work Inclusion Social Enterprises (WISEs), SMEs, and startups.\n\nA pivotal breakthrough in this endeavor arises from the pioneering work of the University of Bologna, which has devised a wireless sensor network (WSN) tailored for the monitoring and management of landslides and drought-prone terrains. This groundbreaking technology, already validated through rigorous testing in Italy, holds immense promise in confronting the evolving environmental challenges plaguing the project's target regions.\n\nHowever, the full potential of such technologies can only be realized through scalable deployment and the adept handling of vast datasets for precise risk prediction. To this end, the project envisages the creation of a transnational network comprising proficient companies specialized in the installation and maintenance of these systems. This network, underpinned by bespoke business models crafted during the project's course, will serve as the linchpin for leveraging the predictive capabilities of these technologies.\n\nThe cornerstone of this network lies in the execution of five pilot actions spanning Albania, Montenegro, Italy, Serbia, and North Macedonia. These pilot initiatives entail the deployment of cutting-edge technology across diverse public and private landscapes, accompanied by comprehensive skill transfers encompassing technical, commercial, and managerial realms. Crucially, the project targets the nurturing of startups, WISEs, and SMEs, positioning them as catalysts for socio-economic development in their respective regions.\n\nA key distinguishing factor of the LANDS project lies in its holistic approach to data collection and analysis, facilitated by the transnational nature of the endeavor. Leveraging the inherent diversity in land cover, land use, and climatic conditions across the project area, the amassed data promises to yield unparalleled insights for more accurate disaster predictions.\n\nIn essence, while the sensors and prediction systems themselves may not be groundbreaking innovations, the true innovation lies in the comprehensive application and upscaling of these technologies. By subjecting wireless sensor networks to rigorous testing across varied terrains and climates, the project endeavors to enhance their predictability manifold. Moreover, by fostering collaboration among a myriad of companies, including SMEs, startups, and WISEs, the project envisages a democratized access to economic opportunities, heralding a new era of inclusive growth.\n\nAs the project unfolds, it is poised to deliver tangible outcomes, including five meticulously crafted action plans, five pilot initiatives to incubate new social enterprises or diversify existing ones, and a robust network of organizations poised to perpetuate the project's impact far into the future. Through relentless innovation and unwavering collaboration, the LANDS project stands as a testament to humanity's resilience and ingenuity in the face of environmental adversities.","2024-09-01","2027-02-28","(VI-B_IPA-A_1) Supporting a smarter Adriatic Ionian region","RSO1.1.

The meeting brought together representatives from all partner organizations. It served as an important meeting for partners to get to know each other, introduce their institutions and roles within the project, and establish initial working relationships. During the meeting, the partnership jointly agreed on the next implementation steps and initiated key coordination mechanisms. As a first step, a shared digital folder – LANDS SHARED WORKPLACE – was created to serve as a central repository for all project-related data and documentation, ensuring transparency and efficient information flow.\nFurther technical coordination was ensured through the online Technical Meeting on the 17th of December during which partners jointly reviewed the structure and upcoming activities within all work packages. Particular attention was paid to WP1 – Solutions for Technology Application and Up-Scaling, in close coordination with its WP leader – PP4 UNIBO.\nA key milestone of this period was the organization of the first in-person project meeting, hosted by the Lead Partner RERA SD in Split on February 17–18, 2025. The meeting enabled fruitful discussions and stronger partner connections. Representatives of all project partners attended the meeting, which significantly contributed to building operational clarity within the consortium. The presence and the presentation of the Joint Secretariat officers, who participated remotely, provided added value to the discussions by offering direct input and clarifications. This enabled partners to pose specific questions regarding reporting, implementation, and program requirements. This meeting strengthened joint efforts and ensured a common understanding of the next implementation steps.\nAs part of communication and visibility activities during the first reporting period, the partnership ensured compliance with all programme requirements. The official project logo and related visibility elements were downloaded from the Programme website and are being consistently used across all communication materials. The dedicated project website, hosted on the Programme's official platform, has been activated and is currently online with several initial posts published. In addition, a project Facebook page has been launched to enhance outreach and visibility among wider audiences. As of the end of the reporting period, the page has reached 55 followers, with further content and engagement planned in the coming months.\nDuring the second reporting period , the project moved from initial set up and background work towards a consolidated, transnational understanding of drought and landslide risks and the first concrete preparations for action plans and pilot activities. Most work focused on completing WP1, laying the foundations for WP2 on strategy and action plans.\n\nThe LP, ensured day to day coordination and compliance with programme rules. It followed all seminars organised by the Programme and JS on reporting, financial management, and communication, then translated this guidance into practical instructions for partners. Regular online meetings, including a project meeting on 10 June and a PSC and WP1 meeting on 23 July, were used to check progress, address delays, and agree the next steps. In parallel, LP led the organisation of an educational workshop for children and youth in Vučevica, where participants learned how space technologies and tools can help prevent and detect wildfires, strengthening the project’s outreach and awareness raising dimension.\n\nAcross the partnership, the main technical focus was on completing the research and analysis under WP1. The PP4 UNIBO provided the methodological backbone of the project by designing shared tools and procedures, including background and field questionnaires and a common protocol for stakeholder interviews. Tools ensured that data collected in all participating countries were comparable and scientifically robust. Based on the information gathered by partners, PP4 prepared the transnational research report on the state of the art and led a structured analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to drought and landslides. Using a step by step expert consultation process, the partnership jointly identified nine national solutions, one per partner country, which balance land characteristics, stakeholder needs, and regulatory limits and opportunities.\n\nAll partners contributed to this process through intensive field work and engagement with local actors. Partners collected data from farmers, local public authorities, and other stakeholders. Interviews and questionnaires covered soil and terrain conditions, existing monitoring practices, regulatory frameworks, and the economic impacts of droughts and landslides on farms and communities. Several partners emphasised the effort needed to work with complex technical questionnaires in local languages and to explain concepts to farmers and smaller institutions, which underlines the practical challenges of bringing research tools into real world settings.\n\nIn parallel, partners compiled and refined stakeholder databases that bring together farmers, small and medium sized enterprises, WISEs, public authorities, research institutions, and civil protection bodies. These databases serve a double purpose, they support the research work in WP1 and provide a ready pool of participants for future capacity building, co-design workshops, and pilot actions under WP2 and WP3. Some partners also tested their internal coordination and procurement systems by purchasing basic equipment, visibility materials, and financial support services needed for smooth implementation.\n\nThe project website was regularly updated with four news posts. The Facebook page was activated and published its first two posts, achieving 904 views and attracting both followers and non followers. These communication and coordination efforts ensured that all partners remained informed, aligned, and engaged, contributing to the project’s visibility and effective transnational cooperation.\n\nDespite the initial delays in starting the project, by the end of this reporting period the consortium has achieved the key objectives linked to WP1. The project now disposes of a shared evidence base on drought and landslide risks, a clear picture of institutional responsibilities and gaps, and a set of nationally tailored solutions that will guide the next phase of work. At the same time, the first elements of the methodological framework for action plans have been drafted, ensuring continuity between research and implementation.\n\nThe added value of cooperation is evident throughout these achievements. No single partner could have produced the same level of understanding on its own. The common tools developed by PP4 would have limited impact without the local knowledge and access provided by municipalities, development agencies, and universities in each country. Conversely, local data would remain fragmented and difficult to compare without a shared analytical framework. By working together, partners have been able to transform dispersed information into a coherent regional picture and a set of practical solutions that are technically sound, context specific, and aligned across borders. This combination of local experience and transnational coordination is at the heart of LANDS and provides a solid basis for the upcoming action plans and pilot deployments.","Berovo, Lunder, Tirane, Derventa, Čačak, Bar, Pinerolo, Bologna, Thessaloniki, Ajdovščina, Split","MK, AL, BA, RS, ME, IT, GR, SI, HR",{"$nulls":5},12]
