EUROGI webinar
Across Europe, climate adaptation and disaster preparedness are central to the EU’s resilience agenda.
Join this EUROGI webinar to explore how two Horizon Europe projects — I-CISK and DIRECTED — are creating open-source, co-designed solutions to help communities anticipate and respond to the impacts of climate change.
Through practical examples and real-world applications, you will discover how EU-backed innovation is transforming open environmental data into actionable intelligence for better decision-making — from local authorities to cross-border collaborations.
