CURRENT PROJECTS
Professionally oriented studium in the border region
The aim of the project is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the use of experience from the German environment in Czech conditions, without dragging Czech students to the Saxon labor market. Initially, the project does not aim to create new study programs in the Czech Republic, but rather to contribute to the qualitative improvement of existing programs.
Cooperation: Duale Hochschule Sachsen (Germany)
Interreg SN-CZ: Fruit landscapes for climate change and biodiversity
The project promotes the planting and protection of tall fruit trees, which enhance biodiversity and ecological stability in agricultural landscapes. It focuses on providing methodological support for the establishment of meadow orchards and sharing cross-border experiences among key stakeholders. Additionally, it raises public awareness about the importance of old fruit varieties, their genetic diversity, and sustainable use of these landscape features.
Cooperation: Landschaftspflegeverband Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge e. V. ; Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development (IOER) (Germany) .
Interreg Central Europe: Climate CRISES – Increasing Climate Change Resilience in Central Europe
The project focuses on enhancing the ability of Central European regions and citizens to manage climate change impacts related to water excess and scarcity. It will create a cross-border platform that collects and analyzes environmental, hydrological, and meteorological open data to improve climate predictions and regional planning. The project includes testing the tool with policymakers, municipalities, and citizens, as well as developing adaptation strategies to strengthen climate governance and raise awareness of climate change mitigation measures.

Interreg Central Europe: ReBioClim – Restoring urban streams to promote Biodiversity, Climate adaptation and to improve quality of life in cities
As part of the ReBioClim project, we will identify and analyze the current challenges and opportunities of cities in the field of urban stream restoration planning from the perspective of different perspectives. On the basis of the analyzes carried out in the project, modeling and seminars organized with stakeholders, plans for the restoration of urban streams (or project documentation) will be drawn up in the pilot locations. In some pilot locations, initial construction work leading to the restoration of these pilot areas will be carried out.
