Press Release: Kick off Meeting of H2020 IMPETUS Project

The kick off meeting of our newly funded H2020 IMPETUS Project to protect communities and the planet from climate change officially began this 20-21 October, with a virtual kick-off meeting uniting motivated and multidisciplinary teams in research, policy, industry and civil society. Over 70 people participated!

Together we will work on solutions for a range of climate conditions – from the artic to the Mediterranean basin – empowering communities and protecting key systems like water, agriculture and infrastructure.

By putting transformative actions that change our climate future into place across Europe, IMPETUS aims to show what is possible – and give everyone the information and tools to achieve it for themselves.

We are 32 partners in business, research, regional government, utilities and beyond in eight countries – and many more local partners and participants indirectly. 

Project Coordinator: Eurecat - Technology Centre of Catalonia

Prof. Phoebe Koundouri is the PI on behalf of Resees Laboratory, Athens University of Economics and Business

Members of the team are Prof. Koundouri, Dr. Ebun Akinsete, Dr. Conrad Landis and Maria Lentoudi.
