In the context of the LIFE Project’s “Cyprus Capacity Building for LIFE – Cyclamen” delegation visit to Athens, the Greek LIFE Task Force organized a workshop on the networking of Greek LIFE projects. The event took place on Tuesday July 2 at the headquarters of the Green Fund at Villa Kazoulis.
I had the pleasure to participate in the Workshop on behalf of NEUROPUBLIC and present the LIFE GAIA Sense project, its objectives, the methodology it develops as well as the the progress it has made during its first year of operation.
LIFE GAIA Sense is a European project coordinated by NEUROPUBLIC, and co-funded by the LIFE Programme of the EC. The project is based on the gaiasense smart farming system and aims to present the way in which gaiasense contributes to the conservation of natural resources, to environmental protection and more generally, to circular economy models.
My presentation focused on gaiasense, with references to the system’s concept, its four dimensions, the role of technology, scientific results, data and human factor, as well as the benefits (environmental, financial etc.) resulting from its application.
After the end of the presentation I received a number of questions from the participants, who showed special interest in the approach followed by the project, as well as the gaiasense system. In addition, during the break, we discussed various opportunities for cooperation between LIFE GAIA Sense and other projects participating in the event, extending the system’s activity to new contexts and examining new potential applications.
I was impressed by the simplicity of the participants; it is something I also felt when meeting biodiversity researchers several years ago, when I participated in a BioVeL meeting. People seem to be more accessible and easy to approach compared to e.g. Horizon project partners - maybe I am mistaken.
This goes to the organizers of the meeting, who helped me feel comfortable among people I didn't know and a concept (the LIFE projects' ecosystem) that I was not familiar with.
I was also impressed by the venue; Villa Kazouli seems to have a long history and still looks fabulous.
