Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas, Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research and CommLED Solutions, sp. z.o.o., partners of the project Self-sustainable, Smart Module for City Green Infrastructure In Climate Change Adaptation, invite you to participate in the final conference of the project “Mitigating the effects of climate change in the city - self-sustainable, smart module for urban green infrastructure”, which will be held 14th of September 2023, 9.30-16.00, in Katowice, Poland, Kossutha Street 6.
Dr. Marta Pogrzeba participates in the XVII International Phytotechnology Conference held on May 23-26, 2023 in Chicago, USA.
A meeting between representatives of IETU and NIBIO took place in Norway on 25-29.09.2022 as part of the jointly implemented Mod4GrIn project. The IETU team was represented by Dr. Marta Pogrzeba, prof. IETU, Dr. Wojciech Bąba, prof. IETU and Dr. Jacek Krzyżak, while NIBIO was represented by Dr Hans Martin Hanslin.
The aim of the meeting was to present the progress in project implementation and to learn about NIBIO's activities and research infrastructure. The meeting participants visited the NIBIO research stations in Særheim, Landvik and the headquarters in Ås. During the visit, the participants were informed about the research work at each station, especially in the field of biodiversity conservation and agriculture.
MOD4GrIn - Self-sustainable, Smart Module for City Green Infrastructure was presented at EuroScience2022 Katowice Regional Site in the Science for Local government panel. Prof. Marta Pogrzeba from IETU in the presentation “Adaptation of cities to climate change and examples of good post-industrial land development” presented the practical solutions for the introduction of blue-green infrastructure - nature based solutions, which is MOD4GrIn module.
She also presented the effects of applying the solution in the city, for example:
- reduction of air pollution and urban heat island (UHI),
- carbon sequestration,
- increase of urban biodiversity,
- pollination,
- improving the quality of life of the population and the visual attractiveness of cities.
