ClimateCafé Grensmaas
2022-04-23 10:00 - 2022-04-26 17:00
Are you a student and do you want to think with us about a fish-friendly Grensmaas? We challenge you to join our ClimateCafe! ActivitiesIn this ClimateCafe, we go out in the field together with scientist, fishers and nature-appreciators around the Bosscherveld weir. We bring our aquatic underwater drone to assess the water quality, we hunt on macro-fauna, we take sound-samples and we explore multiple ways of experiencing a river through observations and interviews. In the end, we also will help to collect solid waste and will try to make an art piece of plastic with the guidance of artists.

For whom?Climate and environmental challenges are not solvable by one discipline. We therefore invite a interdisciplinary group of students. It does not matter what study you do or in what year you are. You can also subscribe with a group.​Problem frameOver the past few years, the landscape around the Grensmaas has changed substantially. The high-water of last summer demonstrates again how important it is to give the river space. Together with flood protection, the Grensmaas project has aimed to improve biodiversity while keeping gravel extraction possible. The terrestrial biodiversity has improved over the past few years, but the aquatic biodiversity deserves more attention. In this, climate change will have a role, as it influences water availability and temperature.

ClimateCafé Cairo & Nile Delta 2024
2024-01-28 00:00 - 2024-02-04 23:59
ClimateCafé is thrilled to announce the success of our recent meeting at the Egyptian ambassador’s residence, where we took significant strides in enhancing collaboration between Egyptian and Dutch Higher Education Institutes on the critical topics of water management and climate adaptation.

In partnership with Cairo University’s Faculty of Agriculture, we established a collaboration with Dutch Higher Education Institutes. During a productive discussion with the Egyptian ambassador and Consul, we strengthened the ties between the two countries. Together, we delved into the opportunities and challenges of working together on water management and climate adaptation.

This meeting served as a follow-up to the highly successful ClimateCafé Cairo and Nile Delta 2023 event. During this gathering, we brought together Dutch and Egyptian students, researchers, and practitioners to collaboratively address real-life cases and propose solutions for water and climate issues.

Excitingly, we’re pleased to announce that another ClimateCafé event is on the horizon, scheduled for February 2024. This upcoming event will provide a continued platform for fostering the exchange of knowledge, skills, and experiences between our students and partners. We look forward to further advancing our collaborative efforts in addressing the pressing challenges of water management and climate adaptation.

ClimateCafé River Challenge Cebu 2024
2024-04-13 00:00 - 2024-04-27 23:59
ClimateCafé is excited to announce the upcoming ClimateCafé event in Cebu City, Philippines, scheduled for April 2024.

The River Scan Challenge 2024, now in its sixth year, is a collaborative effort led by the University of San Carlos, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, Hanze University of Applied Sciences, and Cebu Leads Foundation Inc. In partnership with the local government units of Metro Cebu, this event focuses on the Mahiga River and Butuanon River.

These rivers face various environmental challenges, receiving untreated wastewater and solid wastes from the urbanized surroundings. Additionally, they play a crucial role in draining floodwaters in the highly urbanized cities of Metro Cebu.

The River Scan Challenge will involve Dutch-Philippines mixed student teams in tasks ranging from data gathering to water quality measurements and site visits. This year, there will be a heightened emphasis on community engagement and the exchange of experiences between students and community members, fostering a sense of equality.

Communities residing along the riverbanks possess valuable information regarding the impacts and frequency of flood incidents, as well as the causes of flooding and pollution. The organizers aim to facilitate meaningful interactions between students and community members, allowing for the exchange of experiences related to the impacts of climate change and flood incidents that affect all members of society.
