  • La première Conférence en ligne TeRRIFICA se tiendra le 22 mai 2019, de 10h à 14h. L’inscription est gratuite et se fait par email via hannah.hoff[a]uni-vechta.de
  • La Conférence commencera par une intervention sur la co-création du Dr. Angela Connelly (University of Manchester). La Conférence mettra également en avant les exemples de bonnes pratiques des six régions pilotes en Biélorussie, France, Allemagne, Pologne, Serbie et Espagne combinant des processus de co-création et des stratégies d’atténuation et d’adaptation au changement climatique.

  • La Conférence est organisée par la Boutique des Sciences Vectha/Cloppenburg University of Vechta, dans le cadre du projet Horizon 2020 TeRRIFICA, dans lequel huit institutions Européennes [dont Sciences Citoyennes] travaillent ensemble pour renforcer les capacités d’atténuation et d’adaptation au changement climatique dans différentes régions européennes, avec le prisme de la Recherche et l’Innovation Responsable.

“Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. Mitigating its impacts and adapting to changes already taking place or impossible to avoid will require fundamental changes to societies and behaviours all over the world – as well as scientific breakthroughs, both technological and social” (Climate Change Adaptation – Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, European Commission). It is in this context the TeRRIFICA project emerges and organizes its 1stTeRRIFICA Online Conference. How can people have an impact on climate adaptation and mitigation? How can co-creation and participatory methodologies be implemented into climate action? These and other questions will be discussed during the event.

The Conference will start with the expert talk on co-creation given by Dr. Angela Connelly (University of Manchester). Her work relates to climate change adaptation, particularly around the understanding climate risk and the opportunities and constraints offered by new technologies. She works in a co-creative manner with other disciplines and local and national policymakers. More recently, she has become interested in exploring transdisciplinary knowledge practices relating to environmental change through, for example, exploring arts-based sustainability approaches and how they can contribute to the creation of inclusive urban visions.

The Conference will also highlight examples of good practices from six pilot regions in Belarus, France, Germany, Poland, Serbia and Spain that combine co-creation processes with climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Participants will learn from good practice examples and discuss with international experts.

What is TeRRIFICA?

The EU funded project TeRRIFICA (Territorial Responsible Research and Innovation Fostering Innovative Climate Action) with its network partners in six regions of Europe will seek for best practice and identify the approaches that are already in place to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects.

In a trans-disciplinary partnership, TeRRIFICA involves six European countries, bringing together three research institutions, three non-profit organisations, one public association of universities and one public institution for science promotion. TeRRIFICA is led by WILA Bonn (Bonn, Germany) and the TeRRIFICA consortium is composted by the Rhine-Waal University (Kleve, Germany), the Education for Sustainable Development Association (Minsk, Belarus), the Center for the Promotion of Science (Belgrade, Serbia), the University of Vechta (Germany), the Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznan, Poland), Sciences Citoyennes (Paris, France) and the Catalan Association of Public Universities (Barcelona, Spain). The project is funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission.
