Day: October 1 and 2

Place: Coimbra – Portugal

The 2^nd coordination meeting of the Project TRIPLE-C was hosted by University of Coimbra, last 1^st and 2^nd October. The organization was made in collaboration with its research centers: MARE (Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre), a group related with sea research, and ADAI (Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics) a group related with forest fire research.

The first day started with a visit to the Laboratory for Forest Fire Studies (LEIF), from ADAI, located in Lousã, about 30km from Coimbra, where the most laboratory work and training actions are developed. The partners had the opportunity to look at the forest fire research and learn more about the activities developed by ADAI: fire behaviour, wildland urban interface, fire safety and other studies.

After the visit, the partners went to Laboratory of Industrial Aerodynamics in Coimbra, where the meeting was held. The steering committee had discussed the progress of the project, addressed the implementation of activities and had the opportunity to discuss and plan the methodology of coming activities in the project work plan.

On the second day, partners attended the seminar in the Auditorium of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, open to general public. The Seminar “Capitalization of European Research Projects in the Area of Climate Change” was held in the context of the Interreg Project “Triple-C – Capitalising Climate Change Projects in Risk Management for a better Atlantic Area Resilience”. The seminar started with a presentation of TRIPLE-C project and had the participation of several representatives of Portuguese public and private entities that are potential end users of the results of the research projects that were presented (c.f. program and photos below).

The TRIPLE-C Project (website address), which has support by the Interreg – Atlantic Area, was conceived as a capitalization initiative focused on analysing, evaluating and exploiting the best EU projects in risk management in the context of climate change. It aims to disseminate and transfer the best practices and results identified in this domain, with the goal of integrating policy formulation.

Périgueux, 24-25^th April 2019

The project Capitalising Climate Change projects in Risk management for a better Atlantic Area resilience (Triple-C) held its kick-off conference on 24-25^th April in Périgueux, France. Hosted by the Chamber of Agriculture of Dordogne, the meeting counted with the participation of the core project consortium, consisting of 8 partners from the five programme countries.

During the two-day session the partners made the first decisions regarding the working methodology for the selection and analysis of capitalized projects and good practices related to adaptation to climate change and risk management in the selected EU programmes. In addition, partners discussed the main aspects regarding the project management and coordination, as well as the main communication issues.

Co-financed by the Atlantic Area Programme, Triple-C is a capitalization initiative focused on the analysis, evaluation and exploitation of best EU projects on the prevention and management of risks deriving from climate change. During the 30-month project, the project partners will collaborate to disseminate and transfer the best practices and results identified in this domain with the final aim of mainstreaming into policymaking.
