The COSPACE Group is a pioneering collaboration between five European-funded projects ーMAGDA, RESPONDENT, SWIFTT, 100KTREEs, and BUILDSPACE ー established under the European Commission’s Horizon Results Booster (HRB) programme. This initiative was formed to maximise the impact of these projects by aligning their efforts in leveraging space technologies to tackle climate challenges across multiple sectors.
ALDA’s Role
In this framework, ALDA is a proud partner of BUILDSPACE, and by extension of the COSPACE Group. In the project, ALDA plays a key role in communication, dissemination, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that BUILDSPACE’s innovative tools and platforms reach key decision-makers, local authorities, and communities.
Beyond its technical contributions, ALDA fosters dialogue and facilitates collaboration between stakeholders, helping bridge the gap between citizens and decision-makers. By creating inclusive platforms for discussion, ALDA ensures that BUILDSPACE’s outputs are aligned with real community needs, making urban sustainability solutions more accessible and impactful.
The COSPACE Group: Projects and Objectives
Each project within the COSPACE Group brings a unique perspective and expertise, contributing to an interdisciplinary approach to climate resilience, sustainability, and technological innovation.
The COSPACE Group was formed based on shared objectives and the urgent need for climate mitigation and adaptation solutions. The challenges tackled by the group include:
- Advanced Monitoring and Decision Support: Providing data-driven insights for stakeholders, policy-makers, and urban planners to make informed decisions about environmental sustainability.
- Climate Resilience: Using geospatial and AI-driven solutions to predict and respond to climate change impacts on agriculture, energy, and forests.
- Sustainable Urban Development: Integrating nature-based solutions, such as tree planting and energy-efficient infrastructure, to create greener, healthier cities.
The COSPACE Webinar Series: Knowledge Sharing for a Sustainable Future
To disseminate knowledge and foster collaboration, the COSPACE Group has launched a webinar series aimed at engaging decision-makers, researchers, and the public in discussions about the latest innovations in space technologies for climate resilience.
The first webinar “Leveraging Space Technologies to Tackle Climate Challenges in Energy and Agriculture”, organised by MAGDA and RESPONDENT, will showcase the impact of the two projects, exploring how AI and geospatial data enhance energy and agricultural sustainability.
