The OURMED project is delighted to announce the upcoming Sustain Istanbul 2024 conference titled "Toward Sustainable Groundwater Use under Changing Climate," scheduled to take place from October 9th to 12th, 2024, at Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey.

This leading conference will bring together experts, researchers, and key stakeholders to discuss current and future challenges associated with groundwater use in the context of climate change. Stimulating debates, interactive sessions, and cutting-edge presentations will explore innovative solutions for sustainable water resource management in the Mediterranean region.

At the SmaCuMed International conference on Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus held in Marrakesh from November 15th to 17th, 2023, OurMED partner Living Planet Morocco actively participated. SmaCuMed 'Smart irrigation cube for sustainable agriculture in the Mediterranean region,' is a collaborative research project funded by the European Union’s EU-Prima initiative.

During a dedicated session focusing on PRIMA projects, Oussama Belloulid from Living Planet Morocco presented the OurMED project and showcased the Sebou demo site. His presentation focused on the Sustainable Management of Water in Sebou's Apple Farming.

Recap of our recent Science-to-Touch session, which took place on September 22nd at the Magdeburg City Library.

During this event, we delved into the fascinating integration of multi-parameter sensors and remote sensing, all within the context of OurMED. This convergence promises to enhance our comprehension of environmental processes and elevate our decision-making capabilities.

As an integral component of the OurMED project, we successfully conducted a workshop spanning from July 18th to 19th, 2023, focused on comprehending the profound consequences of prolonged droughts on both forest ecosystems and water quality. This engaging and informative workshop was specially designed to engage and educate children, and it took place at the city library of Magdeburg, Germany.
