“Connecting case studies with future climate action. What is mandatory for prospect co-creation processes in climate adaptation and mitigation projects?”
The second TeRRIFICA
Online Conference will be held on September 19th 2019 from 10am to
2pm (CEST/Brussels time). Free registration is now open filling in this form.
The Online Conference
will start with short expert talks on climate action with a focus on engagement,
methodology and institutionalisation aspects. There will be representatives
from the six European pilot regions in Belarus, France, Germany, Poland, Serbia
and Spain that combine co-creation processes with climate change adaptation and
mitigation strategies.
The Conference is
organized by the Science Shop Vechta/Cloppenburg of the University of Vechta
within the framework of the H2020 TeRRIFICA project, whereby eight European
institutions work together to foster competence for climate change adaptation
and mitigation in different European regions with a specific focus on
Responsible Research and Innovation.
“Climate change is
the defining challenge of our time. Mitigating its impacts and adapting to
changes already taking place or impossible to avoid will require fundamental
changes to societies and behaviours all over the world – as well as scientific
breakthroughs, both technological and social” (Climate Change Adaptation – Directorate-General
for Research and Innovation, European Commission). It is in this context the
TeRRIFICA project emerges and organizes its 2nd TeRRIFICA Online
Conference. What is mandatory for prospect co-creation processes in climate
adaptation and mitigation projects? This and other questions will be discussed
during the event.
The Online Conference
will start with short keynote speeches on climate action with a focus on
engagement, methodology and institutionalisation aspects. There will be
representatives from the TeRRIFICA six pilot regions in Belarus, France,
Germany, Poland, Serbia and Spain that combine co-creation processes with
climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Participants will learn
and discuss about the insights of case studies and the essentials for future
projects.

The EU funded project
TeRRIFICA (Territorial Responsible Research and Innovation Fostering Innovative
Climate Action) with its network partners in six regions of Europe will seek
for best practice and identify the approaches that are already in place to mitigate
climate change and adapt to its effects.
In a
trans-disciplinary partnership, TeRRIFICA involves six European countries,
bringing together three research institutions, three non-profit organisations,
one public association of universities and one public institution for science
promotion. TeRRIFICA is led by WILA Bonn (Bonn, Germany) and the TeRRIFICA
consortium is composted by the Rhine-Waal University (Kleve, Germany), the
Education for Sustainable Development Association (Minsk, Belarus), the Center
for the Promotion of Science (Belgrade, Serbia), the University of Vechta
(Germany), the Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznan, Poland), Sciences Citoyennes
(Paris, France) and the Catalan Association of Public Universities (Barcelona,
Spain). The project is funded by the Horizon2020 programme of the European
Commission.
