Projects
The City Science Laboratory engages in research projects that enhance urban sustainability, resilience, and data-driven decision-making. We collaborate across disciplines to develop innovative solutions in mobility, climate adaptation, and cultural heritage preservation. In particular, the projects focus on smart strategies for sustainable tourism, an observatory for early warning and risk assessment of emerging infectious diseases, and the developing of nature-based solutions to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks. Through these initiatives, we contribute to advancing scientific methodologies and computational tools for urban and environmental challenges.
Featured
(Smart strategies for sustainable tourism in LIvely cultural DEStinations) the project aims at fostering cross border cooperation among cultural destinations in the Programme area and the joint planning of smart strategies to support more sustainable and balanced territorial development through the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, in particular those assets shaping the identity of the destinations.
(Versatile Emerging infectious disease Observatory) the project aims to build a Versatile Emerging infectious disease Observatory (VEO) for the generation and distribution of high-quality actionable information for evidence-based early warning, risk assessment and monitoring of Emerging Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial resistance. This is an iterative process between data science and technology experts, disease experts, social scientists, and citizen scientists.
OPEn-air laboRAtories for Nature baseD solUtions to Manage hydro-meteo risks. The objective of OPERANDUM is to reduce hydro-meteorological risks in European territories through co-designed, co-developed, deployed, tested and demonstrated innovative green and blue/grey/hybrid NBS, and push business exploitation. It aims provision of science-evidence for the usability of NBS, best practices for their design based on participatory processes.
