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 I-CISK project team is excited to announce a new version of the Living Labs’ Climate Services.
During a recent intensive sprint phase, the I-CISK team provided detailed feedback and the technology partners modified and updated most of the Climate Services (CS) for the Living Labs. This latest version also reflects suggestions from the end users. The corresponding web applications access different data sources and allow the user to visualize CS indicators interactively, e.g. by selecting a preferred time period, weather station or different phenomena. The CS include historical and live data and, most importantly, forecasts at various scales.

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.
