A Report on the Third International tdAcademy Summer School.

The Generalitat de Catalunya has recognized the excellence of professors Olga Alcaráz and Barbara Sureda, who are part of the team working on the project “Engineering Education for a Sustainable Future: Addressing Environmental Challenges”.

The Catalan coast is increasingly vulnerable to the risks of climate change due to its high urban density and the presence of infrastructures exposed to coastal erosion. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Managed Retreat offer sustainable alternatives to address these long-term risks, but face social resistance. The CoastSpace project, funded by the EU and led by the UPC and the UdG, seeks to create a planning model to implement a coastal adaptation strategy to climate change. The analysis of social perception and the implementation of participatory governance can be key to the success of these measures.

We are delighted to announce the launch of the 2nd edition of the BIP in Circular Economy that will take place from June 3rd to July 12th, 2024 in Porto, Portugal.

For more than ten years, ISST has been offering undergraduate students the possibility to be trained as experts in sustainability with the Master in Sustainability Science and Technologies (MCTS).

From September 14th until September 20th 2024 the tdAcademy will host their 3rd International Summer School on Transdisciplinary Methods, organised by ISST/UPC and ZTG/TUB.

In researching a sustainable future, the Research Group on Science and Technology for Sustainability (CITES) aims to contribute to innovation and transformation.

The first season of the podcast “Contxt: Sustainability in context” has just finished and is already in preparation for a second season.

ISST is part of the organizing committee of the 28th IAPS Conference: “Enacting Transdisciplinar Knowledge: People, Places, Movements and Sustainabilities” from the 2nd to the 5th of July 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.
