["BSB00172","Network for the Preservation of Sturgeon and for the Sustainability of the Black Sea Basin Ecosystem","Sturgeons are among the world's most valuable wildlife resources, sometimes even called “living fossils” by scientists. In fact, sturgeons originated more than 200 million years ago, outlasted the dinosaurs, but today are the most threatened animals on the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) list – identified as “critically endangered”. These northern hemisphere fishes can be found in large river systems, lakes, coastal waters and inner seas throughout Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Turkey, Ukraine, and other European countries. For people around the world, their caviar, i.e. unfertilized sturgeon roe, is a delicacy and, indeed, an expensive one. For the Black Sea Basin States, sturgeons are a major source of income and employment, as well as a vital element of the local food chain for millennia. Threats such as extensive water pollution and destruction of natural watercourses and habitats that affect their breeding grounds, in addition to current trends in illegal harvest and trade, put all these benefits at risk; as sturgeons do not reproduce annually and live long – up to 100 years – they are particularly vulnerable to these threats and take many decades to recover.\nThe situation in the Black Sea where most of the world's caviar is produced, as well as in the Caspian Sea, is particularly worrying; it is estimated that the number of sturgeons in major basins has declined by 70% over the last century. More specifically, the sturgeon species that inhabit the Danube River and its Delta along the Black Sea are some of the most important globally, as Romania and, to a lesser extent, Bulgaria, hold the only still viable wild sturgeon populations in the European Union.\nIt is thus a common challenge for all participating partners from Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Turkey, Ukraine and Greece to address such problems that, in the not-so-long run, have the potential to disrupt the Black Sea Basin ecosystem and cause environmental destructions to all surrounding countries, to their natural wealth and heritage.\nTherefore, project “SturNet” is based on the implementation of a transversal Group of Activities that will peak towards the development of a free and open Digital Mapping Tool (as an application and web-portal), that will provide an insight into sturgeons’ behaviour and migration routes in the Black Sea Basin, in order to display the “hotspots” of sturgeon reproduction, resting and gatherings, for each month/season/period of the year, so that local authorities, fisherpersons, NGOs, etc. are kept informed and aware about when to avoid these areas at all times, in order to enhance the ability of sturgeons to reproduce and achieve balance to the biodiversity and the local ecosystem. To reach this point we will start by detecting the environmental parameters and biotic factors and sturgeon dynamics in a single model towards the assessment of current environmental status of aquatic areas, where sturgeon’s populations are either characterized by high welfare or are strongly endangered. And to promote all outputs we will develop the Transnational Sturgeon Network \"SturNet\" which will act as the spearhead of dissemination, communication, awareness raising and policy reform of our project.\nIn this context, we consider our project “Network for the Preservation of Sturgeon and for the Sustainability of the Black Sea Basin Ecosystem” (“SturNet”) to be a novelty, and the project partners from Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine and Greece are determined to address the identified problems that, in the not-so-long run, have the potential to disrupt the Black Sea Basin ecosystem and cause environmental – and economical – destructions to all surrounding countries and to their natural wealth and overall development. Therefore, the reduction of overfishing and the related awareness raising towards policymakers and the public, will help normalize the reproduction cycle of sturgeons and their overall preservation in order to sustain the food chain. Moreover, it will have positive effects over the long-term employment of the local fishing communities and other professionals of all surrounding countries, and thus informing them for the benefits of a balanced and sustainable exploitation will be key. It will also help create a cleaner and better natural environment in the shores of the Black Sea and of the Danube River, which in turn will have other positive effects for the participating countries, such as an increase in ecotourism and increase in the overall well-being of the local population.","2024-08-30","2027-02-27","(VI-B_BSB_P1) Blue and Smart Region","RSO1.1.

["BSB00027","Transnational Cooperation for Sustainable Waste Management and Recycling Practices in the Black Sea Basin","Go2Recycling is a cooperation between 5 institutions and organizations from 4 countries, that combine their sources with aim to tackle one of the most important global environmental issue: pollution, including plastic pollution, rising dramatically as a result of the insufficient training, knowledge and habits, lack of planning and infrastructure for effective waste management /WM/ and the most important lack of responsible behaviour and environmental consciousness in the community. The partners are cooperating for the ensuring decreasing of the all kind of pollution including marine and river litter by development of sustainable WM practices in the BSB and responding to the most common challenges in this domain:- Insufficient infrastructure: local municipalities, especially from the Non-EU countries lack the necessary infrastructure for waste management, such as waste sorting and composting facilities, and separate collection centers.-Lack of public participation: Effective WM requires the participation of the public, including households, businesses, and other organizations. However, many local institutions struggle to engage the public and promote separating the waste at source, reducing, recycling and reusing /3R/ of the waste by the citizens. There is missing any sustainable behaviour development methods or incentives that could train and stimulate the local people to separate and to master the principles of the 3R. -Inadequate policy and regulations: especially in TR local policy makers are at the beginning of their planning, many local municipalities lack adequate policies and regulations to support sustainable WM. This result in inadequate waste management infrastructure and services, and inadequate enforcement of waste management plans /WMP/. There is certain need from sustainable WMPs especially in TR.- Lack of opportunities and resources for exchange of knowledge and good practices between neighbour countries in the BSB and especially between EU and Non-EU countries: different countries have different approaches to waste management, and there may be valuable insights and techniques that can be learned from each other. Without opportunities for exchange, both regions are missing out on innovative solutions that could improve waste management. The overall project objective is: Establishing sustainable cross-border partnership for reducing of the landfill waste and pollution in the BSB through encouraging separating, collecting, 3R the household waste, especially in the settlements located near to the vital biological areas as wetlands, lagoons and biosphere parks through establishing needful infrastructure for the sustainable collecting of the waste, planning and sustainable training methods that increasing public awareness and knowledge about recycling and green future. The project promotes the waste management models, replicable throughout the BSB and Europe, to ensure transition to the sustainable recycling practices, ensure sustainable waste management and diversion of the waste from the landfills in the BSB. At the same time the project puts the basis for the sustainable litter reduction including marine and river litter reduction practices, collecting and recycling in the target areas including at the same time urban areas and river basins, protected areas and wetlands. The project presents good cooperation and dialogue between the local authorities, unions, educational institutions, local stakeholders and interested groups in the target areas combining their efforts for the establishing stable mechanisms for reducing of the pollution in the BSB. The project will lead to the increasing the infrastructural, planning and technical capacity of the local waste collection service providers and establishing sustainable training method for realization of joint solutions for behaviour changing, public awareness and training of the local target groups: households and school children. Outputs: infrastructural and technical: benefiting from the European knowledge and expertise and developed infrastructure and technical tools for efficiently waste collection in BSB. Promoting 3-R methods and changing behaviours of the local people in separating at source: 5 organizations cooperating, one 3-R and collection center in Kesan, one training center in Sozopol established, that will provide training and expertise, demonstration and knowledge about recycling and climate adaptation to the community. Institutional outputs: increased planning capacity and shared good waste management practices: 1 Zero Waste Plan and 1 regional strategy for 3-R practices elaborated.- Public: online and physically trainings, study visits, joint international clean-up campaigns and initiatives for children and citizens made.

["BSB00164","BlackNETs - Exorcising the BLACK Sea's Silent Killers","Over the past decade there has been increasing international recognition of the need for multilateral efforts to address transboundary adverse ecological and socioeconomic effects of abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), also called derelict fishing gear.\nHaving been described as perhaps the most dangerous form of marine litter, it is important to not only understand the scale and nature of the problem, but whether existing management regimes can respond to this complex issue.\nIt has been shown to have significant deleterious impacts to marine habitats and wildlife (including many threatened species). Recorded entanglements of seabirds, and marine mammals has largely been attributed to fishing gear (especially ALDFG) over any other form of marine plastic. \nDespite work being undertaken to understand the causes and impacts of fishing gear loss, abandonment or discard, significant knowledge gaps exist in relation to the “amounts and rates of ALDFG” as well as the “type, quantity and impact of sea-based sources of marine litter for most regions. These knowledge gaps notwithstanding, there is little doubt that derelict fishing gear poses a grave threat to the Black Sea health. \nBlackNETs project quantifies and minimises the impact of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gears (ALDFG) on the Black Sea environment. The main achievement of the project is at least 8000 kg of ALDFG eliminated from Black Sea waters through the pilot actions that will take place in each partner country (Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye and Georgia). The basis for these actions will be an awareness guidebook to prevent, reduce and remove fishing gear in the Black Sea that will be part of the sustainability process. Moreover, the mapping of the hosting areas will facilitate further actions and next steps in making Black Sea net free. Another important output will be the capacity building and knowledge sharing by training, and promoting changes in the behaviour of stakeholders linked to the fishing sector through the implementation of good practices that minimise the loss of fishing gear and improve the voluntary collection of ghost nets. The public events and #ghostbusters campaign raises awareness of the impact that ghost nets have on the Black Sea ecosystem.\nBlackNETs envisages that through the ongoing efforts to combat ALDFG, a shared vision for “litter-free marine environments” would be realized among all of the various actors and stakeholders concerned and it will be a benefit for the entire basin, from various points of view (environmental, economic, social, etc.). This will not only remove plastic from Black Sea for improved environmental health, but will activate relevant actors (recreational fishers, producers and retailers, NGOs, Universities, and authorities) to implement preventive actions and better monitoring of lost recreational fishing gear in the future.","2024-06-27","2025-12-26","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.7.

["BSB00708","Capacity Building and Training for Public Sector Using Artificial Intelligence","Common Challenge\nThe AI4Capacity project addresses a significant challenge faced by small and medium sized public organizations, particularly local authorities: the need for enhanced administrative capacities and efficient management frameworks. In the programme area, these organizations often struggle with limited resources, outdated administrative practices, and varying levels of governance efficiency. These challenges hinder their ability to effectively serve their communities and manage cross-border cooperation initiatives.\n\nOverall Project Objective and Expected Change\nThe primary objective of AI4Capacity is to promote and implement capacity-building tools such as the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) (*) and Management by Objectives (MbO) (**) system within small and medium public organizations. By integrating an AI Suite, designed to support these frameworks, the project aims to modernize administrative processes, improve decision-making, and enhance the overall efficiency of public service delivery. The expected change is a significant improvement in the administrative capacities of local authorities, leading to more effective governance, increased transparency, and better service outcomes for the communities they serve.\n\nMain outcomes:\n- AI Suite: A tailored AI Suite will be developed to support the implementation of CAF and MbO. This tool will streamline administrative tasks, provide data-driven insights, and facilitate more efficient resource management.\n- Training: A comprehensive training package will be created and delivered to 32 partners' staff members. This training will equip them with the skills needed to implement CAF and MbO effectively.\n- Pilot Implementations: The project will conduct pilot implementations of CAF and MbO in four organizations, providing real-world testing and refinement opportunities.\n- Assessment and Refinement: Post-pilot assessments will be conducted to refine the AI Suite based on user feedback and performance data.\n- Expansion and Capitalization: The project will promote the reuse of knowledge and tools developed through regional demonstration events, training courses for 240 public servants, and individualized support for 40 public entities.\n- EduLab Platform: An \"EduLab\" platform will be established, combining an Open Educational Resource (OER) with a Living Lab to support ongoing education and innovation in public administration.\n- AI4Capacity Network: A transnational network will be created to ensure the durability and transferability of the project's outputs and results.\n\nBeneficiaries:\nThe primary beneficiaries of the project are local public authorities. By enhancing their administrative capacity, they will be better equipped to manage resources and deliver public services. Additionally, higher education and research institutions will benefit from access to the EduLab platform and the data generated by the project, supporting academic research and professional development. Ultimately, the communities served by these authorities will benefit from improved governance and more efficient public services.\n\nPlanned Approach - Transnational Cooperation\nAI4Capacity employs a collaborative approach, bringing together partners from GR, BG, and TR to develop, implement, and refine the project’s tools and methodologies. Transnational cooperation is essential for several reasons:\n- Shared Expertise: Partners bring diverse experiences and expertise, enhancing the quality and relevance of the project’s outputs.\n- Cross-Border Challenges: The administrative challenges faced by local authorities in the Black Sea region are similar across borders, necessitating a unified approach.\n- Resource Efficiency: Collaborative efforts allow for the pooling of resources and knowledge, reducing duplication and increasing the project’s impact.\n\nInnovative and Original Aspects:\nThe project’s innovative approach lies in its integration of AI technologies to support traditional management frameworks like CAF and MbO. By leveraging AI, the project introduces advanced data analytics and automation into public administration, a relatively new concept in the region.

["BSB01014","Black Sea Unites Against Natural Disasters","Disaster is defined by the United Nations as \"all kinds of natural, technological or human-induced events that cause physical, economic and social losses for people, affect societies by stopping or interrupting normal life, and cannot be coped with by local means.\" Disasters cause loss of life, injuries, diseases and property losses, and their negative effects on social and economic life can continue for many years.\n\nThe effects of disasters can be very large-scale and devastating. At the same time, the process requires preparation for different periods, including before, during and after the disaster. For this reason, it is not always possible for countries to act alone in the field of disaster management, and it also creates various difficulties. Nowadays, international aid calls are made by countries in major disasters. This situation creates the need to approach the issue from an international perspective in the field of disaster management. For this reason, it has been concluded that approaching the issue by centering international cooperation in the field of disaster management will be an effective solution.\n\nThe general aim of our project is to ensure permanent and sustainable collaborations through national and international activities to be carried out in Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece, to develop the capacities of public-academic and non-governmental organizations in the field of disaster management, to make mutual knowledge and good practice transfers and to support the disaster-related civil initiative in the Black Sea region to contribute to the strengthening of the region.\n\nOne of the most effective methods to reduce the negative effects of disasters is pre-disaster preparation. In addition to having the necessary technological equipment, having sufficient awareness and awareness of human resources capacity also plays a critical role in reducing the negative effects of disasters. In this context, our project will approach the issue with a multidisciplinary approach and aims to both improve the service capacity of relevant institutions and increase the level of consciousness and awareness of citizens living in the relevant regions against natural disasters.\n\nThe project includes directly relevant institutions from countries that are included in the Black Sea Basin Cross-Border Cooperation Program and are vulnerable to disaster risk. The institutions include a development agency, a municipality, a non-governmental organization and a university, and it is aimed to develop common solutions in combating disasters by trying to bring together different perspectives of different institutions.\n\nThe lead partner of the project, Trakya Development Agency, operates in the provinces of Tekirdağ, Edirne and Kırklareli as one of Turkey's 26 Development Agencies. In Turkey's National Earthquake Strategy and Action Plan, Development Agencies are given the responsibility to take into account earthquake hazards and risks within their areas of responsibility and to carry out activities that will not increase or will decrease the risks. Due to this responsibility, Trakya Development Agency, operating in Tekirdağ, which is located in the first degree earthquake zone, felt the need to lead a project of this nature in the field of disaster management. Tekirdağ Metropolitan Municipality, which is among our project partners, is the only metropolitan municipality of the Thrace region. The Municipality's Earthquake Risk Management and Urban Improvement Department has active work in the field of disasters, especially earthquakes, and the institution has an accredited search and rescue team consisting of 135 people. Varna Free University is located in the Bulgarian leg of our project. The security and safety department of this university carries out both academic and project-based studies on disasters. Hellenic Rescue Team, the representative of our project in Greece, is a non-governmental organization that specializes in search and rescue activities and is very experienced in international disaster response practices.

As the global climate warms, cities are facing frequent and extreme heat waves that have significant impact on society, including a rise in heat-related deaths. For sure the cities are at the frontline of climate change.\nThough cities are a big driver of planet-warming emissions, they are also engines of climate action and at the forefront of delivering solutions.  \nGreen Climate Change adaptation solutions for Smart and Resilient Cities in BSB: Green Urban Resilience project is a tool for cross-border cooperation aiming development of sustainable green climate solutions to promote adaptation to climate change and their integration into the planning work of local authorities, supported not only by the infrastructural green restoration, but also from the scientific knowledge and expertise of the landscape, urban planning and forest experts who will actually transfer the academic intelligence to the local sustainable planning and action, by development of the international LANDLAB, services to all target countries.\nCities and towns are not investing in green infrastructure. In order to reduce heat islands and create climate-resistant green cities, local municipalities should cooperate, work on combating climate change in line with the realistic and\nsustainable strategies, that includes clear information about the current heat-stress and thermal discomforts of the citizens and are based on the green/blue urban infrastructural solutions for mitigating the urban warming. In this cooperation project the PPs aim to respond to these needs and to make resilient Europe and BSB by sharing joint academic intelligence in the green urban sustainable planning, provide communities with accessible green\ninfrastructure and a better environment for healthy, sustainable and resilient cities, as well as to reduce the increasing risk from heat and its consequences.\nThe main project outputs will be capitalization of the European experience in measuring of the urban heat -stress and application of this knowledge in the BSB's cities and regions through establishing International Urban LANDLAB servicing to all regions and guiding them in development of Heat Resilient Strategies as a part from the planning measures that the local policy makers are taking in the climate change adaptation. Four target cities: Uzunkopru, Sozopol, Tbilisi and Kavala will receive the expertise of the LANDLAB for measuring their heat-stress and evaluating the thermal discomfort of the citizens on the basis of the joint approach. Based on this measure they will receive their Heat-stress maps and clear view of their warming and the need of the green/blue infrastructural solutions. The expertise of the LANDLAB will support these cities for elaboration of their Heat Resilience Strategies by preparing a Planning Pathway tool. The tool will be a roadmap for all policy makers in the Black Sea Basin presenting main steps for elaboration of sustainable Heat Resilient Strategies.  Case studies such as green recovery initiatives - practice-based examples of heat stress interventions in public spaces in three target areas will be done: Uzunkopru town will decrease the heat-stress by establishing the first urban community garden with a center for public-awareness and capacity building in green sustainability. Sozopol town's nature-friendly pedestrian alley will be built as a part of the  socialization of the park territory. There a rainwater collection facility will be built, which will be used to water new afforestation and build flower patches. Kavala will demonstrate green sustainability by introducing the circularity in green resources and attempts a small change and the local climate conditions, planting trees for shading in one of the most affected areas by climate change, namely the Faliro junction road and Ergatico Kentro Square urban corners that share the same characteristics as areas with high density, absence of trees or vegetation, and urban spaces that facilitate ad hoc parking spaces instead of serving as public spaces in use for recreational activities. All green initiatives will be in line with the New European Bauhaus policy: inclusive and sustainable. \nCapacity building of local environmental and planning experts in heat-measuring will be made by realization of joint heat-walks and workshops. Training for trainers and local training will be done as a tool to emphasize the importance of the local communities, citizens in the fight against climate change and promoting the importance of green spaces.

["BSB00450","Seed Guardians for Biodiversity, Agrobiodiversity, Ecosystem Services and Climate Adaptation","In many countries of the world, including in the Black Sea region, a decrease in the diversity of plant genetic resources (PGR), considered a significant factor for environmental protection and mitigating the effect of climate change, is reported with concern. Particularly alarming is the systematically increasing loss of traditional local, authentic, old varieties of vegetables grown by small farmers, heirloom gardeners and hobby growers. These vegetables are increasingly losing the battle to the ones industrially produced, even though they are in daily demand and are preferred by the customers on the market, regardless of their higher prices. According to the UN FAO, local and indigenous varieties of food may have 1000 times the nutrient content of the more common varieties, which makes them extremely valuable for the humanity. This makes this proposal of high contribution to the people’s healthy diet. \nThe decline in the production of local traditional vegetables leads to the loss of their seeds as genetic resource. In seed stores, the share of the traditional vegetable seeds is very small, if any. Authentic vegetable seeds can only be found from small agro-producers who continue to harvest and store seeds for their next production using traditional old methods. The increasing inaccessibility of seeds of traditional local vegetable varieties has engaged the attention of scientists and drove policy measures and actions of many national governments, the national genetic banks and a number of representative institutions, such as the Biodiversity International, the EC, the UN, etc. In Europe, the Scandinavian genetic bank, NordGen, is very active in reviving old vegetable landraces. The UN FAO initiated a legally binding global agreement, into force in 2004, the \"International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture\", ITPGRFA, for the conservation and sustainable use of all plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of their use, in harmony with the Convention on Biological Diversity, for sustainable agriculture and food security. Currently, it has 149 Contracting Parties (countries) including the EU.\nOne of the actively implemented practical solutions in some countries is the creation of local community seed collections (CSCs) and community seed banks (CSBs), to store the seeds of old local traditional vegetables for reproduction and expansion of their territory. CSCs and CSBs are created, maintained and operated by local vegetable producers and communities, which are recognized by the international organizations as the contributors to the diversity of crops that feed the people and are part of a system to provide farmers and plant breeders with seeds and the scientists with access to plant genetic materials.\nCSCs and CSBs are instrumental for mitigation of climate change and guaranteeing the food security of communities and citizens in general. They also support agrobiodiversity, healthy food production and diversity of food products on the market. The local authentic traditional vegetables have built integrity with the surrounding environment during a long period of time and have adapted to it. This makes them more resilient to diseases than industrial hybrid vegetable varieties which allow growing them without using artificial stimulants (chemicals).\nWith this project, we will establish CSCs on pilot territories of the PPs countries with a prospect to become CSBs at a next stage, with modern equipment for full potential and functionality and support from the national gene banks and research institutes, as part of enabling ecosystem environment for their sustenance. The members of the CSCs will be selected among small farmers, heirloom and hobby gardeners from the local communities after a careful procedure. Public media campaigns will be announced for collection of seeds of local vegetable landraces, thus giving a good example to follow by other Black Sea territories. \nThe following outputs will result from the activities’ execution: Development and introduction of the innovative CSBs model in the pilot locations; Capacity building activities for the target groups including training & tutoring actions and organization of peer review exchange meetings of the seeds providers; Info events organized on the PPs territories for raising awareness and stimulation of joint initiatives for seeds’ preservation; Digital tools promoting CSCs in the four pilot territories; A Policy Document with recommendations for measures to be taken by policy and decision makers in support of the CSCs. \n\nSeedGuard is a partnership initiative of four partners representing four Black Sea countries: the Union of Bulgarian Black Sea Local Authorities as a lead partner, the Eastern Black Sea Development Agency (Turkey), the Association Global Project (Romania) and the National Association of Local Authorities (Georgia).","2024-07-11","2026-01-10","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.7.

The targeted cities face significant environmental challenges, particularly in urban areas. Rapid urbanization has led to the degradation of green spaces, adversely impacting biodiversity, air quality and residents' well-being. Climate changes exacerbates these issues, making urban areas more vulnerable to extreme weather events and reducing their resilience. Restoring urban parks and green spaces is critical for improving climate resilience, enhancing urban biodiversity, and building sustainable urban environments.\nInvolving 4 Project Partners (PPs), 3 Local Public Authorities (Ungheni City Hall, MD, Municipality of Tulcea, RO and Municipality of Thermi, GRC) and one Civil Society Organization (Regional Centre of Sustainable Development, MD), the action will address common challenges that are to be solved by the joint efforts of PPs and exchange and introduction of the best practices to make the Black Sea Basin (BSB) region resilient and attractive.\nThe primary objective of the project is to restore urban green areas in the PPs countries, thereby enhancing climate resilience and promoting sustainable urban living. By undertaking comprehensive restoration actions, the project aims to transform degraded urban parks into thriving green spaces that can withstand climate impacts and provide environmental, social and economic benefits to urban communities. \nThe project will be oriented towards restoring actions of the three urban parks through restoring the greenery, pruning, planting and sustainable landscaping practices which will help maintain biodiversity and also ensuring the park's resilience to climate change impacts. Restoration efforts will focus on repairing and upgrading pathways, creation of bicycle lanes, recreational facilities to enhance accessibility and safety. The materials used during the parks design will be eco-friendly and natural. Implementing sustainable water management practices, such as rainwater harvesting will ensure efficient resource utilization while minimizing environmental impacts. These management strategies ewill mitigate erosion, enhance soil stability, and promote water infiltration, thereby safeguarding the park's long-term ecological health.\nThe project will develop a suite of outputs tailored to address the multifaceted challenges confronting urban green spaces. Implementing targeted restoration activities to rehabilitate degraded urban parks, including habitat restoration, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement initiatives. Conducting comprehensive inventories and mapping exercises to document the diversity of plant species within urban green areas, facilitating informed decision-making and conservation efforts.\nFacilitating knowledge exchange and capacity building among stakeholders through exchanges of experience and peer learning activities within the created Green Deal network, thereby disseminating best practices in urban park management and restoration. Organizing educational campaigns, seminars, and outreach events targeting youth to raise awareness about the importance of urban green spaces, climate change mitigation, and sustainable urban planning. \nThe beneficiaries of these outputs encompass a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including local governments, urban planners, environmental NGOs, community groups, youth organizations, academia, and the general public. By enhancing the quality and resilience of urban green spaces, the project will directly benefit urban residents by providing them with access to healthier, greener, and more livable urban environments.

The communities of participating countries are facing significant environmental challenges that are common and equally relevant for these BSB countries. One of them is the growing rates of municipal waste generation, especially the generation of biodegradable waste in rural communities is particularly high, which is due, in many cases, to high agricultural growth rates. Biodegradable waste is a large polluter of the environment (land, rivers, and sea) and a significant source of GHG emissions in BSB regions. The experience of municipalities of GEO, MD, and TR in biodegradable waste management is very low, waste prevention and reduction approaches have not been used so far. Composting as biodegradable waste recycling approach, has not yet found proper distribution and development, which is due to insufficient experience and lack of information.\nThrough the joint efforts and involvement of PPs, Smart4Rural project is aimed:\n-\tTo support resilience and improvement of rural areas by introduction and demonstration of innovative solutions to biodegradable waste recycling/composting based on EU countries’ best practices in selected municipalities of GEO, MD, and TR as a way to becoming greener and smarter communities in BSB.\n-\tTo build the long-term capacity of local communities for the promotion and development of modern approaches to composting by the establishment and implementation of an effective and strong learning and training joint platform/resources.\n-\tTo increase awareness and provide the behavior changing of representatives of local communities in GEO, RO, MD and TR through the joint implementation of the environmental educational programs, engagement in environment protection activities and improvement of young talents capacities for smarter and greener areas. \nA unique experience will be created of cooperative solutions to common problems, which can be replicated and capitalized on by other municipalities of the participating countries and other BSB countries.\nRural Composting Plant will be established in Tskaltubo municipality, which will be focused on composting agricultural waste. A special building will be constructed for this composting plant, which will be equipped with a solar power plant and where smart solutions will be used for the technological process needs. This will be the first similar plant in western Georgia to provide composting of agricultural waste.\nA small-scale facility for open windrow composting of rural green waste will be established in Ungheni (MD). Other approaches to community and individual composting will be introduced in rural communities of 11 municipalities in selected countries.\nThe best practices of composting in Germany and Romania will be studied by the PPs and target groups. Also, the PPs will share the experience of Kutaisi composting center, which was created within the project BSB457 Waste Free Rivers for a Clean Black Sea.\nLearning and training resources will be significant contributions to the project.

Black Sea environmental problems have received much attention since the end of the last century, alongside political, economic and social hurdles. The main identified transboundary problems are eutrophication, overexploitation of marine living resources, chemical pollution and changes in biodiversity and habitats. Conservation of the Black Sea biodiversity and habitats resonates with the Programme’s specific objective RSO \n\n2.\n\n7. Three other environmental challenges have been pinpointed: preservation of commercially valuable marine living resources, reduction of eutrophication and ensuring good water quality for humans and marine organisms. They also relate to the project’s objective of protecting and promoting biodiversity and the natural heritage by supporting initiatives to conserve the valuable Black Sea ecosystems, as they address the root causes of the problems, the main pressures from human activities: industry, agriculture, domestic wastewater, sea transport (oil spills, ballast water), urbanisation, tourism leading to coastal zone degradation. \nThe overall objective of MARMAPS is to raise awareness of the target groups on the importance of conserving the valuable Black Sea ecosystems, engage them in the creation of decision support system for maritime spatial planning to foster spatial conservation and restoration measures for marine biodiversity, improve their access to open scientific data and tools through environmental electronic eFolio, involve stakeholders in capacity building to ensure the uptake of conservation prioritisation framework for marine protected areas, and exploit the opportunities for cross-border collaboration.\nThe means to achieve this include three main project outputs. First, The MARMAPS partnership will ensure the flow of information, data, skills and experience between four organisations from Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Ukraine. It will continue cross-border collaboration between the partners from previous projects. Second, the envisaged environmental electronic eFolio is a key joint output providing a solution for cost-effective achievement of national and regional conservation targets for marine ecosystems and continuous flow and sustainability of natural sources, while accounting for cumulative impacts from human activities and climatic risk. Its main components include decision support system, monitoring protocol templates, citizen science tools and good governance practices for MPAs. Third, a regional networking event at the end of the project will bring together project partners and representatives of target groups involved in marine sustainability biodiversity protection. It will simultaneously popularise the key solution, eFolio, among experts and stakeholders, and ensure the long-term impact of the project through the establishment of a network of actors involved in MPA governance at regional level.\nThe project results include a mechanism for exchange and long-term support between members of the target groups and end-users to promote Black Sea biodiversity and nature protection, endorsed by the lasting and continuous collaboration of the four project partners. A second result is the expanded knowledge of target groups on the use of open scientific data through the eFolio, jointly developed by the partners to demonstrate the designation of new marine protected areas in the Black Sea Basin based on open data for valuable ecosystems, as well as the increased capacity of target groups and end-users to manage MPAs in terms of planning, monitoring, reporting and good governance.\nMain beneficiaries are environmental and regional development ministries and their regional agencies, MPA managers in the participating countries;, municipal authorities in programme coastal areas; higher education and research institutions related to the sea and its varied resources, schools, educational and training centres; fishermen’s and aquaculture associations, marine sports associations, maritime clusters and tourism associations; environmental NGOs and citizens concerned about the state of the Black Sea environment.\nThe challenges of enhancing marine biodiversity protection on a basin scale demand a cross-border working approach. The partnership adopts a results-oriented approach involving the collaborative efforts of well-established NGOs from three Black Sea countries and a public university from EU country, with experience in work on marine biodiversity and conservation. The approach also involves the engagement of diverse groups of stakeholders and end-users from the project area to address the complex set of issues related to the state of the environment and marine biodiversity protection and conservation.","2024-06-20","2025-12-19","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.7.

The common main idea is that the serious gap between the level of pollution and the mentality and behaviour of the citizens needs to be addressed more consistently and using tools allowing a better understanding of the issues in order to bring the willingness to act and support environmental-friendly behaviour in all segments of the general public. \nThe knowledge, experience and current cooperation of one national environment agency (NEA), one education and training institution (CERONAV), one higher education and research organisation (PRU), one local authority (SM) and one NGO active in the field of environment (BDCA) will be put into practice to jointly develop solutions and implement actions contributing to enhanced protection and preservation of nature and reduced pollution. \nThe national environment authority and the local authority (municipality) will deliver guidelines for setting up a cooperation mechanism, as a solution for the gap between the decision makers and the real communities, including examples of best practices and local initiatives for environment protection and reduced pollution. To change behaviour of citizens, besides proposed initiatives, a series of demonstrations and raising awareness actions will be rolled out by all project partners using innovative (Virtual Reality) training materials as well as customized information materials jointly developed to efficiently reach different levels of the general public (children, youth, adults), professionals and decision makers in the environmental field.\nTo support triggering changes for an enhanced environmental-friendly behaviour an innovative methodology for environment specialists will be jointly developed by project partners to be taken up by advisory boards of local/ regional authorities when they generate local initiatives for reduced pollution. The methodology will be based on the analysis of air and water quality measurements conducted by the consortium to complete the available official data, capitalising on expertise of the partners, the knowledge and lessons learnt and equipment procured in previously EU co-funded projects (Interreg funds) implemented by the project partners. \nIn addition, a network of Environment Information Centres/ EICs will be created as a solution to the lack of an informal educational digital platform in the Black Sea Basin regions. Its database will not only make available all information and materials developed in the project, but will be used to display real-time data collected from sensors placed in different locations in the 4 participating countries. One such physical centre will be located in each partner organisation based on a concept developed in GREEN DANUBE project implemented by two of the partners in the current consortium, and adapted to the real needs in the territories.

["BSB00479","Less vulnerability, more adaptability – pilot remote sensing assisted restoration of green spaces in coastal and urban areas within the Black sea region","Climate change is affecting the Black Sea area, despite not being sufficiently addressed at the regional scale. The region is particularly vulnerable to: erosion, landslides, sea level rise, flooding, storms, heatwaves, new types of plant diseases and droughts. Adaptation to the consequences of climate change is a key challenge in the BSB territory. New technologies in the environmental sector, such as artificial intelligence, data science, and small sensors, can be used to collect real-time geospatial data and make it more accessible, preventing disasters and increasing climate change readiness and adaptability. Transnational and cross-border cooperation is at the heart of the vision and methodological approach of the project. It derives from its overall objective - to enhance transboundary cooperation for increasing the regional readiness and adaptability to climate change related hazards through application of nature-based solution assisted by highly innovative remote sensing methods. The MoreAdaptBSB is making involved stakeholders from local and regional level, to exchange experiences, use common knowledge tool and get familiar with state of the art on adaptation planning. By taking this approach, the dialogue and co-design of measures for restoring urban and coastal green spaces will be increased. The reason why these targets cannot be efficiently achieved acting only on a national, regional, or local level, is that climate change is intrinsically not addressable by a single region and nation. The main outputs are: i) tool for visualizing climate change vulnerability and resilience (incl. the areas of Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine within the programme territory); ii) a nature-based adaptation plan and a catalogue of restoration measures; iii) 60 dka restored green spaces in a New European Bauhaus manner in coastal and urban areas within Kassandra (GR), Constantsa (RO), Primorsko (BG) and Odessa (UA); iv) 3 conducted knowledge exchange groups and 1 Living Lab in the form of multi-actor approach. The main results are: i) well-established transboundary cooperation for increasing the regional readiness and adaptability to climate change related hazards; ii) improved capacity of the relevant authorities. Regional and/or local authorities will directly benefit from MoreAdaptBSB's results through knowledge exchange and further application in their daily work; from a science perspective, higher education and research institutions can gain familiarity with highly innovative remote sensing methods; being a part of restoration activities will benefit NGOs and citizens associations.","2024-07-26","2027-01-25","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.4.

Blue economy is mainly composed of sectors as marine living resources(fisheries and aquaculture),marine non-living resources, marine renewable energy, port activities, shipbuilding and repair, maritime transport, and coastal tourism. These sectors have immense potential for an economic growth, employment and sustainable development for regions of Black Sea Basin and Europe in case they are enabled as globally competitive and innovative. Use of of advanced technologies, increasing digital skills and sustainability of blue growth sectors are internationally acknowledged means to achieve much needed dual transformation paving the way for a blue and smart Black Sea Basin.\nTo tap and trigger potential of blue economy in BSB a more sustainable and innovative ecosystem of blue economy actors is needed. At the moment, Black Sea Basin as a whole is lagging in dual transformation. The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) which, provides a comparative analysis of innovation performance in EU countries, other European countries, and regional neighbors categorize countries under 4 categories as 1-Innovation Leaders, 2-Strong Innovators, 3- Moderate Innovators, and 4- Emerging Innovators. According to this Innovation Scoreboard project partner countries Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey are all in 4th level. Ukraine (not included in scoreboard) estimated as similar to 4th level. EIS 2022 report further indicates that \"Almost all EU Member States have increased their innovation performance since 2015 but the lowest performing countries are falling further behind.\" Thus, it is clear that low innovative status of Black Sea Basin is a common challenge hindering the potential of blue economy and others in the basin. The NEXT Black Sea Basin programme document also states that “Black Sea Basin have low levels of innovation infrastructure and investment and R&D investments of basin are below the European average.(EU 28) of 2%.” Based on this background, to contribute into efforts to overcome Black Sea Basin being a region of low innovation , the project shall, focus on creating a transnational cluster on blue economy investing in uptake of innovative and advanced technologies, developing joint digital tools and R&D capacities for common solutions increasing sustainability and efficiency of blue growth sectors in medium and long term. \n\nProject is built upon an innovation favoring transnational Blue Economy Cluster to be called BlueIN4BS due to the fact that adapting to cutting-edge techs, global standards, investing in research and development and creating joint tools for benefit of all Black Sea Basin countries and for all layers of science, policy, industry realms requires massive efforts that no single local actor can achieve alone. Therefore, project approach employs quadruple helix model of innovation uniting efforts of blue economy involved regional and local bodies, universities and research centers and channel them to produce joint tools, platforms, knowledge, capacities and joint solutions for blue economy ecosytem. Thus, this transnational basin level cluster based cooperation under BlueIN4BS is expected to contribute to innovative and smart transformation of Black Sea Basin by leveraging existing research and innovation capacities mainly, to uptake cutting edge advanced techs in blue-growth niches for innovation and smart specialization and to develop joint tools for common benefits of BSB Blue economy actors harnessing the talent and potential of the BS region. \nBlue Gates project activities are organized in following groups to produce certain outputs and results as;\nI-Formation of a transnational Black Sea Blue Economy Cluster(BlueIN4BS) focusing on two areas \n1-intra-regional and international cooperation to ensure science, industry and policy interconnectivity bringing innovative and advanced technologies, best practices, global standards in blue economy sectors into BSB actors' agenda \n2- establish a digital platform/hub to virtually transfer research and technology .\nII- Joint Capacity Building Programs for uptake of advanced technologies, knowledge, models, methods and standards\n- Organization of Demo Days for advanced techs such as AI apps, aquatic drone and sensor use in blue growth sectors\n-BSB Blue Economy Summer Schools on topics such as marine pollution monitoring, ecologic quality surveys, R&D based innovative products complying with circular economy approach and valorizing on previous Project outcomes like blue accelerators\nIII- Developing Joint solutions by applying advanced techs into existing \n-Developing a Rapid Detection Kit and\n- Color Detection test for sustainable marine resources and potential contamination risks.","2024-09-27","2027-03-26","(VI-B_BSB_P1) Blue and Smart Region","RSO1.1.

The 2015 Paris Agreement united nations to combat climate change and work towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. Greenhouse gas emissions play a crucial role in climate change and in air pollution rates. \nAir pollution is a global health concern, with 99% of the world's population living in areas with substandard air quality levels. According to the European Environment Agency's \"European Air Quality Report (2023), air pollution is one of the biggest environmental risks in Europe. Europe is significantly affected by air pollution, which even leads to premature deaths and has many economic consequences. \nAir pollution is also a significant issue for the countries in the Black Sea Basin. The Black Sea Basin experiences air pollution from various sources, impacting human health and the region's environmental sustainability. The partner countries of the current project, which include Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Ukraine face the adverse effects of air pollution due to heavy industry, urbanization, residential heating, and vehicular traffic. According to the World Health Organization, these pollutants can lead to increased respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, lung cancer, and other health issues. These health consequences have economic consequences too, such as shortened lives, increased medical costs, and decreased productivity due to lost working days. Air pollution problem also leads to a decline in the public’s quality of life and migration problems. Since air pollution is a serious threat to the development and welfare of basin countries, there is a great need to address this common problem through educational awareness-raising activities in order to avoid its economic, social, environmental, and medical effects.\nTo address air pollution challenges in the Black Sea Basin, \"Know What You Breathe: Mobilizing Communities for Air Quality in the Black Sea Basin” (AIRQUEST) project will establish an open-access online platform for air pollution data and enhance environmental awareness among communities. For an accurate description of the air pollution situation in this region and take measures that help to lower air pollution rates at local, regional, and cross-border levels, there is a need for a monitoring center that collects and analyzes air pollution data collected from the partner countries and to utilize this data for increasing the knowledge and awareness of different stakeholders about air pollution in the Black sea basin.\nThe project will integrate satellite-based and land-based monitoring data from the partner countries and provide comprehensive information on air quality in the basin. By using remote sensing technology and information gathered from these stations, the basin will be monitored closely, and carbon emissions will also be computed from air quality data.

In the long run, the project seeks to change the traditional perceptions and to raise awareness on the knowledge-intensive nature of tourism within the blue growth framework.\nThe project intervention logic is aligned with the quintuple innovation helix which brings together the academia, business, government, civil sector and environment in a knowledge economy. \nThe project results in: \n* INTERSMARTS Network for Interdisciplinary Solutions for Smart Tourism and Services with task forces on sustainable infrastructure and resource management, anti-pollution and waste management, seasonality solutions, technology transfer and innovations - uniting the project partner organizations work for sharing knowledge, experience and collaboration about raising the sustainability and blue growth performance of tourism and related services in the Black Sea Basin\n* Needs assessment research about sustainability and blue growth perspectives of tourism and related services regarding the main sectoral challenges \n* INTERSMARTS Innovation Management Platform with a data-base of novel solutions and technology advancements that demonstrate how sustainability tourism entities can be improved as well as with idea-generation and crowd-sourcing functionalities \n* Four transnational Interdisciplinary research and networking events for smart sustainable tourism in Bulgaria, Republic of Moldova, Greece and Türkiye. \n\nINTERSMARTS implementation is based on delivering challenge-specific studies, interdisciplinary, comprehensive intervention, cross-border applied research and open civic participation engaging citizens as active participants in the research processes. The project will bring benefits to business, academia, communities and policy-makers in the partners’ countries and in whole Black Sea area. \nSustainable smart tourism and blue growth are issues that go beyond the national borders. Answering the identified regional challenges in this regards requires the informed participation and cooperation of all relevant stakeholders in the neighbouring countries that rely on the Black Sea as a shared asset. The main feature of sustainability is that it is not limited to a certain type of services or products such as nature-based tourism or eco-tourism but is rather a philosophy that underlies both the demand and supply side of tourism businesses. Enforcing the perception that tourism can drive innovation and technological advancements in the blue economy requires wide-spread recognition and celebration of the innovative tourism initiatives in the Black Sea Basin – particularly when these initiatives are still scarce. \n\nINTERSMARTS is a joint initiative of the Varna University of Management (Bulgaria), International Hellenic University (Greece), Moldova State University (Republic of Moldova) and Istanbul Development Agency (Türkiye).","2024-06-15","2025-12-14","(VI-B_BSB_P1) Blue and Smart Region","RSO1.1.

["BSB00264","Transnational Technology Transfer Network for Black Sea Basin","The Territorial Analysis (TA) was conducted and published to identify the main joint challenges and needs of the Black Sea Basin (BSB). According to this;\n\n- Most of the companies are SMEs and their competitiveness is relatively low and they operate in low value-added sectors.\n\n- The global competitiveness and innovation indexes show that the weakest point of the project partner countries are research and innovation capacity. Particularly in the field of university-industry R&D collaboration, which is one of the innovation linkages under the business sophistication pillar and one of the important tools of technology transfer (TT) processes.\n\n- The TA shows that the BSB area has rich scientific potential, although it faces difficulties such as the migration of researchers and rather low R&D expenditure. However according to SWOT analysis within the TA identified one of the weaknesses as \"ineffective transfer of knowledge into innovation\"\n\n- Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for the Black Sea proposed activities by 2030 such as networking events and meetings towards capacity building to transfer knowledge, support the dialogue between researchers and business, develop and enhance networks to ensure interaction between the ongoing projects and research activities, create, integrate and support incubators and techno parks for promoting SMEs, start-ups and innovative businesses, to reach its goals.\n\n- The third implementation report of the Black Sea Synergy (2015-2018) stated that important progress had been noted in some the fields while less and no significant registered progress was made in others.\n\n- The TA indicates that the countries in the BSB area have low levels of innovation infrastructure and investment. However, the countries have not enough resources to satisfy the needs. In other words, joint actions needed to be taken to ensure basin-based prosperity.\n\n- At the international scale, networks of structures in the field of technology transfer have been established in different structures, but there are no network structures in which all or some of the countries in the BSB are involved\n\n- The efforts of TT interfaces are not at the desired level due to the breadth and activity of the network owned by the relevant structures, the competence of the relevant personnel and not having the same motivation of the potential institutions, organizations or interface structures to cooperate with.\n\nThe overall objective of the project; is to contribute to the developing and enhancing research and innovation capacities and the uptake of advanced technologies with creation sustainable transnational network structures and for sharing good practices and know-how on the use of innovative technological developments especially in blue economy, low carbon economy, resilience and adaptation to climate change fields.\n\nThe framework of the project has been designed to cover the potential cooperation actions in which the Joint paper on Interreg NEXT Strategic Programming 2021 - 2027 for BSB in order to tackle and develop solutions to the above mentioned common territorial challenges. \n\nThe project will address the lack of sustainable transnational network structures and platforms for sharing good practices and know-how on the use of innovative technological developments especially in blue economy, low carbon economy, resilience and adaptation to climate change fields. In this respect, Transnational Technology Transfer Network for Black Sea Basin (T3N-BSB) will be established within the scope of the project.\n\nThe main outputs of the project are comprehensive study report of TT ecosystem, practical learning activity, training modules, trainings, multidimensional analysis tool, online catalog of technology cases and model project database, the T3N-BSB Portal, Transnational Technology Transfer Network for Black Sea Basin and Grand Black Sea Forum. The target group that will contribute or take part in the implementation of the project activities and benefit from the outputs of this project consists of all actors of the technology transfer ecosystem, namely HEIs and RIs, academics, entrepreneurs and industrialists, students, staff working in TT interfaces, relevant actors (clusters, companies, organised industrial zones-OIZs, business support organisations, chambers of commerce and industry etc.).\n\nAlthough the ways of doing business are different in each country, the challenges mentioned above often arise due to the nature of research and innovation. TA has also revealed that this problem cannot be easily tackled by the individual efforts of the countries and that joint efforts are required.

["BSB00001","Improving Emergency Response Capacities to Natural and Man-made Disasters in Small Communities across the Black Sea Basin Region","Some of the most pressing challenges faced by countries in the Black Sea Basin region include their susceptibility to natural disasters and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. This is particularly true for small communities, which are disproportionately affected by climate change and lack sufficient prevention, acknowledgement, and training activities. These communities are often ill-equipped to cope with the consequences of disasters, and relevant state institutions experience longer response times due to their remote locations. In light of these challenges, the project aims to enhance disaster risk prevention, climate change adaptation, and emergency response capacities in small communities of the Black Sea Basin region, with a specific focus on rural areas.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to reduce the impact of natural disasters on the residents of Black Sea Basin region and improve their resilience to climate change. Through the implementation of this project, we anticipate that small communities in the Black Sea Basin will have access to user-friendly tools that will help mitigate the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable populations. The expected outcome is the development of enhanced disaster risk prevention, climate change adaptation, and emergency response capacities in the targeted small communities.\n\nThe project will deliver several important outputs and results, with a significant emphasis on Institutional Capacity Building of small communities. One of the key outputs will be the development of a common methodology to improve preparedness for emergency situations in rural areas. This methodology will include a common emergency response plan and a user-friendly manual for adapting the plan to specific communities. Additionally, study visits and best practice exchange seminars will be organised to facilitate knowledge sharing and foster collaboration among stakeholders.\n\nAnother innovative solution developed within the project is the creation of an e-learning web platform that offers online courses in emergency situation preparedness and management. This platform will benefit communities across the four partner countries and serve as a centralised hub for accessing project materials, training resources, and informative documents. It will be designed to be user-friendly and accessible to the target communities and beyond. Furthermore, both offline and online trainings will be conducted for the local population, focusing on disaster preparedness and first aid. These trainings aim to empower community members to effectively respond to emergencies, thus increasing overall resilience and reducing vulnerabilities.\n\nSimulation exercises will be carried out to test the developed methodology, ensuring its effectiveness. Additionally, reforestation campaigns will be implemented in areas prone to landslides, promoting awareness and mitigating the effects of natural disasters. The project will also organise conferences, seminars, and round tables to facilitate the exchange of best practices, enhance cross-border cooperation, and promote innovative methods for disaster management.\n\nThe outputs generated by the project will have lasting effects on the territories and target groups. The methodology, curricula, and training materials created during the project will continue to be used and maintained after its closure, ensuring the sustainability of the project's impact. This will enable other communities and target groups to benefit from the project's outcomes.\n\nThe beneficiaries of the project include local populations, local public authorities, NGOs, and other initiative groups in the Black Sea Basin region. The project will improve their awareness, preparedness, and capacity to handle emergency situations, reducing the risks to their health, lives, and infrastructure. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the sustainability of its outcomes by establishing enduring partnerships, signing cooperation agreements, and fostering cross-border cooperation even after the project closure.\n\nTransnational cooperation plays a crucial role in the success of the project. Recognising that acting solely on a national level may not be sufficient to address the scale and complexity of the challenges faced by the region, the project emphasises the importance of transnational cooperation. This approach allows for the sharing of best practices, leveraging knowledge and resources, and improving the efficiency of efforts. It also promotes regional integration, cooperation, and understanding, while building trust and strengthening relationships between neighbouring countries. The project's transnational approach will have a multiplying effect, reaching a wider audience and addressing more complex challenges. By pooling resources and expertise, the project aims to maximise its impact and create a sustainable framework for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction efforts in the region.","2024-07-11","2026-01-10","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.4.

["BSB00221","Pilot action for increasing the capacity of local and regional administrations to develop and implement innovative food waste public awareness actions","The common challenge FoodWISE project will address, is to reduce the consumer-related food waste and encourage citizens and guests in the BSB area to rethink and adopt more sustainable habits regarding consumption and disposal of food. In the four project countries millions of foods are lost annually. The main reasons are the unwise buying, wrong storage and cooking without planning. To that extent, targeted policies and measures to prevent food waste are needed. Their main objective shall be to reduce the amount of food waste generated by the population of the region. As local households and tourists in the summer season are the main contributors to the huge amounts of food waste in the BSB region, raising their awareness of the problem of food loss and waste, and on examples aimed at inspiring behavior change that prevents food waste will be main subject of all project actions.\nConsidering that curbing food waste requires targeted continuous actions at local, regional and international level for raising awareness and empowering people to change their resource-intensive consumption patterns, the project aims at empowering authorities at local level, as they are closest to the citizens in the rural areas, where the non-governmental sector is underdeveloped. To that end, the project activities will bring together 20 small coastal rural municipalities from 4 BSB countries dedicated to curbing food waste out of their territories. To achieve this goal the project will equip 50 of their employees with knowledge and expertise to drive together the progress towards sustainable food consumption in their territories.\nFoodWISE`s general objective is to enhance the potential of local and regional administrations in rural areas in the BSB region, in particular settlements with high tourism pressure during summer season, to jointly educate and raise awareness of local citizens and tourists as regards food waste prevention and reduction as a tool for reducing all forms of pollution in their territories. In this respect, four organisations from Bulgaria, Turkiye, Georgia and Greece with substantial experience in non-formal education provision, will join forces to develop and validate a comprehensive training program (FoodWISE). The project approach involves a series of complementary actions for promoting innovation and knowledge transfer in the field of reducing the human impact on the regional natural resources and biodiversity, intensive capacity building and public awareness campaign, as well as events with high transnational added value and potential for achieving the common goal to tackle food waste in the region.\nThe project will begin with assessing the existing and desired competencies for effective public food waste promotion. By identifying the capacity gaps and skills` needs of the local and regional administrations` employees, the project partners will be able to design tailor-made training curriculum and Toolkit for development of skilled, adaptable workforce with the right mix of competencies for effective communication, motivation, and engagement of citizens in environmentally friendly actions related to food waste. The Toolkit will illustrate examples of food waste prevention in action and guidance how to use and up-take these proven experiences. The International training targeting 50 public and municipal civil servants in local authorities will empower them with knowledge and practical skills and tools to design and implement innovative actions focusing on educating citizens on how to curb food waste from the BSB region. Once the local actors have been trained, they would be able to validate the skills acquired by joining forces with the project team in the organization of innovative awareness raising actions targeting local households, students, tourists vacationing in the region. Trainees will be integral part of the joint organization and implementation of 1 International “I VALUE FOOD” student contest, 4 “FOOD WASTE PATROL” campaigns, 4 REPLATE festivals, 1 International high-level conference under the supervision of the project team. These actions will teach how to cooperate with organizations from different countries and design and implement joint actions, which bring people in the region closer together.\nIn the long term, the local actors are expected to work together to making the BSB territory more resilient to climate change and ensure its common natural heritage and its unique value is protected from the growing pressure of human activity. Considering that the environmental resources of the Black Sea Basin are shared across borders and go beyond national interests, cooperation is crucial, otherwise good work in one place is quickly undone by neglect elsewhere. Accordingly, the project aims at BSB rural territories to lead the process of spreading and mainstreaming food waste prevention, in order to achieve a drastic reduction of the pollution deriving from it.","2024-07-03","2026-01-02","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.7.

A significant number of entities develop economic activities in the coastal areas of the Black Sea, especially in deltaic areas, known for their population density and growth potential.\nIASON+ Project focuses on the influence of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) on Ecosystem Services (ES) in the Black Sea Basin (BSB) area, specifically targeting the deltaic ecosystems of the rivers from five countries – Danube (Romania and Ukraine), Nestos (Greece), Kızılırmak (Türkiye), Chorokhi, and Kolkheti (Georgia). The project aims to address the common challenge posed by IAS in these deltaic regions and the impact on ES. These deltaic regions are particularly vulnerable to the introduction and spread of IAS due to their unique ecological characteristics, including diverse habitats and high biodiversity. IAS can disrupt the delicate balance of these ecosystems, threaten native species, and negatively impact the provision of ES such as water purification, flood regulation, coastal protection, fisheries, and tourism.\nThe overall objective of the project is to enhance the management and mitigation of IAS in the deltaic regions from the BSB to safeguard and restore ES. The project aims to bring about positive change by reducing the spread and impact of IAS, improving the resilience of ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainable provision of ES in the deltaic regions.\nThe project will develop several outputs and achieve specific results to meet its objectives. These include:\n\n\n1. IAS Monitoring and Warning System: the project will establish a robust monitoring system to track the presence and spread of IAS in the deltaic regions. This will involve the development of standardized protocols, data collection, and analysis, and the establishment of an early warning system to detect and respond to the presence of IAS.\n\n\n2. Integrated Management Strategies and Action Plans: the project will formulate integrated management strategies and action plans to effectively control and manage IAS in the deltaic regions. These strategies will include measures such as prevention and interception of IAS, eradication and control efforts, and habitat restoration initiatives.\n\n\n3. Capacity Building and Training: the project will provide capacity building programs and training workshops for various stakeholders in the deltaic regions. This includes local communities, policymakers, land managers, scientists, and relevant authorities. Capacity building efforts will enhance knowledge and skills related to IAS management, detection, and prevention.\n\n\n4. The main outputs of the project: involve the development of tools that will be made available to stakeholders for a better management of the presence of IAS and their influence on ES - (I) ICT tool referring to the storage and management of environmental monitoring data from deltaic area of the project; (II) ICT tool referring to the upload of field data from IAS and ES monitoring; (III) ICT tool referring to the map-based IAS and ES distribution outputs; (IV) ICT tool referring to the Living-Lab & mobile application for citizens; (V) ICT tool referring to the gamification use.\nThe main beneficiaries of the project's outputs and results:\n- Local communities living in the deltaic regions, whose livelihoods depend on the sustainable provision of ES.\n- Biodiversity conservation organizations and agencies responsible for managing and protecting the unique ecosystems of the deltaic regions. \n- Policymakers and government authorities involved in environmental management and decision-making processes. \n- Scientists and researchers interested in studying the impacts of IAS and developing effective management strategies. \n- Industries and sectors that rely on ecosystem services, such as tourism, agriculture, fisheries, and water resource management.\nThe project adopts a transnational approach due to the nature of the deltaic regions from different countries in the BSB, this being crucial to effectively address the challenge of IAS in these regions. The planned approach involves collaboration, knowledge exchange, and joint efforts among partners from different countries and deltaic regions. This cooperation enables the sharing of experiences, expertise, best practices, and resources, facilitating a more comprehensive and coordinated response to the issue of IAS in the BSB deltaic regions. By working together, the project partners can leverage their collective strengths, learn from each other's experiences, and develop integrated management strategies that are tailored to the specific characteristics of the deltaic regions.","2024-06-28","2026-12-27","(VI-B_BSB_P2) Clean and Green Region","RSO2.4.

This includes addressing issues such as environmental degradation, limited research and innovation capacities, and a lack of integration and collaboration among different regions.\n\nOverall Project Objective:\nThe main objective of the project is to stimulate economic development in the blue economy sector by leveraging the power of youth, research, and innovation. By providing opportunities for young people to engage in transnational cooperation and by fostering the uptake of advanced technologies, the project aims to drive sustainable growth and create new job opportunities.\n\nExpected Change:\nThe project expects to bring about a significant change in the current situation by strengthening research and innovation capacities in the blue economy. This will be achieved through the active involvement of young people, who will contribute fresh ideas, skills, and perspectives to address the challenges faced by the sector. The project also aims to promote the adoption of advanced technologies, which can enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness of blue economy activities.\n\nMain Outputs and Results:\nThe project will develop several outputs and results, including:\n\nCapacity Building Programs: Training and skill development initiatives for young people in the blue economy sector, focusing on areas such as entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology adoption.\n\nTransnational Collaboration Platforms: Creation of platforms and networks to facilitate knowledge exchange, collaboration, and joint initiatives among youth, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry stakeholders across different regions.\n\nInnovation Support: Provision of resources and support for the development and implementation of innovative ideas and projects in the blue economy, including mentorship, incubation, and access to funding.\n\nTechnology Demonstrations and Pilots: Implementation of pilot projects and demonstrations showcasing the application and benefits of advanced technologies in various blue economy sectors.\n\nBeneficiaries:\nThe project's outputs and results will benefit various stakeholders, including:\n\nYoung people: They will gain valuable skills, knowledge, and opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship in the blue economy sector.\nResearchers and Innovators: They will have access to transnational collaboration and knowledge exchange, enabling them to develop innovative solutions for sustainable blue economy development.\nIndustry Stakeholders: They will benefit from the adoption of advanced technologies, improved competitiveness, and increased access to a skilled workforce.\nLocal Communities: The project's activities will contribute to the economic development and environmental sustainability of coastal regions, leading to improved livelihoods and well-being.\nPlanned Approach and Transnational Cooperation:\nThe project will adopt a collaborative approach that involves transnational cooperation among multiple regions. This is essential because the challenges faced by the blue economy sector, such as sustainable growth, innovation, and technology adoption, require a collective effort and the exchange of experiences, expertise, and best practices. By fostering collaboration, the project can leverage the strengths and resources of different regions, facilitate learning, and promote the transfer of knowledge and technologies across borders. Transnational cooperation will enable a more comprehensive and impactful approach to addressing the common challenges and realizing the project's objectives.","2024-06-20","2025-12-19","(VI-B_BSB_P1) Blue and Smart Region","RSO1.1.
