Kick-Off to CEN Workshop Agreement zu 'Guidelines on Action Research for Large Scale Piloting' Monday 17th July 2023, from 10:00 – 13:00 CEST as a web meeting
( 2023-06-19 ) Many R&I projects include Action Research for pilot projects in their work program. However, there is still a lack of a consistent way to best collect and analyse/exploit data to facilitate replicability of methods used in Action Research and how to ensure for validation across pilots. The development of this CWA is intended to address such issue using lessons learned and best practices from the Pharaon project. In this CWA, validated and standardized Action Research methods and questionnaires for large scale pilots will be shared. This way, the CWA “Guidelines on Action Research for Large Scale Piloting” will help other research organisations and future projects to conduct Action Research properly. Feel free to join us at the kick-off on July 17, 2023 to share your experiences! For more information, the kick-off agenda, and the preliminary business plan, click here. More

Draft publication and webinar prCWA 17727 – Disaster Risk Management / Climate Change Adaptation Framework
( 2022-02-18 ) While negative impacts of climate-related and other hazards on urban areas are widely discussed, their impacts on historic areas within cities and communities have not been studied extensively enough. Draft CWA 17727 defines an integrated approach that combines disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) activities for historic areas in communities. The overall DRM/CCA Framework in prCWA 17727 includes a: characterisation of historic areas and their exposure to natural and climate change-induced hazards, set of requirements and recommendation on how historic areas can become more resilient, step-by-step process to manage disasters, and to perform and monitor resilience-building activities. By publishing the draft document for review and commenting the development group of prCWA 17727 wishes to get feedback on the content, for example from: community/historic area decision makers, technical staff, as well as by councillors working on risk and vulnerability ...
