The OurMED project participated in the final event of the Intel-Irris PrimaProgram project, organized in Oran, Algeria, on Thursday, May 9, 2024. The event aimed to explore pathways and strategies for extending the deployment of developed smart irrigation solutions to larger areas and other projects such as OurMED demo sites.

Seifeddine Jomaa and Pier Paolo Roggero participated as key speakers at the International Congress on Multidisciplinary Approaches in Agricultural Sciences and presented OurMED project.

Prof. J. Jaime Gómez-Hernández from OurMED partner UpV  participated at the Jornada técnica sobre deltas en el Mediterráneo on 07/05/2024.

On May 2, 2024, Fès witnessed a stride in environmental conservation with the successful inauguration of the first Living Lab Sebou at the Ibis Hotel. This pivotal event, hosted by Living Planet Morocco in collaboration with Tour du Valat, the Sebou Hydraulic Basin Agency, and Mapping Technologies, marked a step forward in water resource management and the conservation of wetland ecosystems in the Sebou Basin.

The purpose of the first living lab workshop (M3.1) held on the 25^th of April, 2024 in Konya city centre was to foster a mutual understanding regarding the vital problem of unsustainable surface water use in the Konya Closed Basin and conduct an initial analysis of proposed solutions to the problem by the relevant stakeholders. There were 25 stakeholders in the workshop representing State Hydraulic Works, Konya Plains Project Regional Development Administration, Agricultural Chambers, District Agriculture and Forestry Offices, irrigation unions, farmer associations, NGOs and universities.

The OurMED project recently organized in a series of educational workshops aimed at introducing children to the field of environmental science. These workshops, held last week, reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering an interest in science among young learners.

During these sessions, children had the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiments led by our dedicated researchers, including Dr.Seifeddine Jomaa. These interactive activities provided participants with insights into the basic principles of environmental science and research. This initiative is part of our dissemination efforts to broaden the impact of the OurMED project beyond academia, reaching out to younger audiences and igniting curiosity in future generations of scientists.
