Benedikt Gräler shares lessons learned while developing open-source tools in the I-CISK and DIRECTED EU projects. Learn how they transform open data into actionable information through essential co-design approaches.
This online webinar takes place from 14:00 – 15:00 CEST on October 22, 2025. 52°North’s Benedikt Gräler will discuss the challenges and opportunities of co-design approaches to software solution development.
The two European research and development projects I-CISK and DIRECTED aim to improve climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. Both projects use co-design and co-development approaches to create customized tools that provide useful information for making informed decisions. Benedikt Gräler presents use-case-driven, open-source solutions that build on open data and deliver actionable information for end users and decision-makers.
Join us!
If you manage disaster response or support long-term planning and need to consider climate risks, this event is for you! Come share your experiences and learn from others in a hands-on learning exchange focused on early warning, disaster preparedness, and climate adaptation, using the case of extreme flooding in Rimini, Italy. These scenarios will also be used to collaboratively explore preparedness for future events, which are exacerbated by climate change.
Smarter, Faster, and More Systemic Adaptation
The ECCA takes place June 16 – 18, 2025 in Rimini, Italy. It serves as a vibrant platform for showcasing cutting-edge research and innovative solutions, sharing knowledge and best practices and fostering collaboration towards a climate-resilient society. It will bring together researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders to exchange research findings, innovative policy developments and solutions, and practical implementation experiences.
Dr. Benedikt Gräler joins consortium colleagues to present and discuss work being done on the data fabric (DIRECTED) and climate services (in I-CISK). Visit the DIRECTED booth and find out more about these innovative projects.
