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.

The EGU General Assembly 2025 takes place from April 27 – May 2, 2025 in Vienna, Austria. It brings together geoscientists from all over the world and covers all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. 52°North presents a portfolio of work on emerging Sensor Web technologies, Research Data Infrastructures and Data Spaces. Check out the presentations and posters throughout the week.

52°North recently opened its doors to a group of 12 international students and two staff from the University of Twente, The Netherlands. The students are involved in a two year program, in which they learn to address large-scale and complex societal challenges by combining both technical and socio-economic knowledge with a strong basis of spatial data analysis and modelling. At the end of their first year, they complete a study tour throughout Europe, visiting institutes, universities and companies active in Spatial Information Science, Technical Engineering and Spatial Planning & Governance.
