Researchers Summer School

How can cities couple greening and regeneration actions in the decarbonisation of their supply chains?

Thistwo-week full-time residential programmewill take place from8th to 19th July in Bologna(first week) andAlmada(second week), where you will to shape the urban landscape, district regeneration and decarbonising supply chains.

Ascitiesare facingcomplex challengessuch as integrating greening and regeneration actions in thecity’s supply chains, the overall goal is to explore solutions todecarbonise urban energy systemsandincrease quality of lifeand infrastructure.

Researchers will investigate2 case studies, inBologna and Almada, and make use of a hands-on approach to explore the interconnections between district regeneration, urban low carbon energy transitions and the decarbonisation of city supply chains. The aim is to address the multiple dimensions:

Technical feasibility
Economical cost-effectiveness Social acceptability
Market and business opportunities Policy implications.

The case-studies allow research teams to co-create solutions and practical outcomes while interacting with key stakeholders. The outcomes of researchers’ reports will be collected and included in the guideline for follow-up and implementation phase, creating real impact on local development (specific instructions will be provided). This is a valuable networking and career development opportunity, as you will get insights of current challenges and connect with potential collaborators and their organisations.
