[Mauro Vanni]

As consulting firm, we are currently supporting 2 italian networks of public and private organisations (50 municipalities, national and regional parks, NGO, universities,…), located in rural and mountain areas and engaged in rivers contracts, an innovative methodology for freshwater management based on the active participation of local actors widely applied in some Eu countries (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium,…).
Starting from this experience, we intend to foster, share and consolidate NBS knowledge and its practical demonstration in generating multiple water-related benefits (water quantity, quality and risks simultaneously) for river ecosystems.
NbS are fundamental for reaching the EU Green Deal objectives (including the target of reconnecting at least 25,000 km of rivers in Europe by 2030); delivering socio-economic benefits including biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation; and engaging economic sectors in restoration. Such solutions (rewetting, floodplain reconnection, reforestation to store carbon, natural water retention measures, riparian restoration, dam removal and reopening of old canals or rivers to increase resilience to heatwaves) should, therefore, be cost-effective while providing environmental, social and economic benefits, helping to build resilience and, at the same time, making use of multiple ecosystem services that they can bring.

Dear Mauro,

My name is Sonia Merlo, I’m project manager at Red Raion, an independent CGI studio specialised in media-based attractions and smart content for entertainment and culture. We are based in Sicily.. The mission of the company is to support institutions, museums, cultural centers, and tourism operators in choosing the most efficient immersive contents for their VR, XD and interactive attractions.

Our expertise can be summarised as follows:

– Development of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications for culture and tourism.
– Production of CGI interactive content for any kind of hardware support and attraction.
– Production of custom VR / 5D movies / Dome movies.
– Development of top quality Video Games, Serious Games and Gamification applications.
– Experience in project dissemination and exploitation.

I have seen in the Interreg Euro-MED portal that you have published a partners’ search for the project you are developing on Improving river ecosystems with Nature Based Solutions, in which we would like to participate by bringing our expertise in the digitalisation of any form of cultural heritage – if foreseen in your project. You can see – for instance – one of the research projects we are carrying out with the cooperation of Italian Universities and Museums, AUGUSTUS (www.augustusgame.it), in which we are developing an immersive serious game to explore historical and archaeological aspects of 4 UNESCO sites in Sicily.

If you want to discuss any potential cooperation in the development of a project under this call for proposals or other similar opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact me at s.merlo@redraion.com

Kind Regards,

Sonia Merlo

Dear Mauro,

We, ABERON OOD., a private Bulgarian research and consulting company have expertise in biodiversity protection and ecosystem services assessment. We have worked with the JRC on evaluating the direct and indirect benefits from Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for wastewater treatment in urban areas and for flood retention. We are familiar with the legal aspects in designing green corridors, regenerating depleted urban areas and building vertical gardens.

A proposal under the above topic will require several aspects – urban planning (legislation), GIS, combatting pollution, social and economic benefits, why not clean energy production?

Based on the above, feel free to contact me on cveta.dimitrova@aberon.bg in order to discuss potential cooperation.

Bets regards,

Cveta

Dear Ivo

We are writing to you on behalf of the Association of Municipalities of Camp de Turia (Mancomunidad de Municipios del Camp de Turia), an association of 17 municipalities with more than 160.000 inhabitants in the Autonomous Community of Valencia on the east coast of Spain. They have experience in projects related to circular economy and sustainability and they are now in the process of commitment to the European Green Deal and the reduction of carbon footprint, so they would be really interested in a project like this. They also are signatories of the Mayor´s Pact which is an ambitious initiative to involve local authorities and citizens in reducing energy consumption, saving resources and upgrading the quality of life of citizens
