What do you think is the biggest challenge for women in these times? What aspects can help us accelerate #genderequality? ♀ On the occasion of #InternationalWomensDay we have talked to five Sener colleagues, professionals in different areas of activity, from different geographies, about the challenges and opportunities for women in the labor and social sphere. Many achievements have been made, but there are still many challenges ahead of us to achieve real equality between men and women.   Challenges to which all of us can undoubtedly contribute in some way, for example, by considering our unconscious #biases and how these lead us to act in one way or another, sometimes leaving out female talent, or perpetuating habits and beliefs that limit the choices of men and women. 💙 We share the point of view of them, our protagonists, a small representation of all those #inspiringwomen:  Amal Al-Ashkar  Carolina Montana  Janire Zabaleta Araujo  Mariana Navarro Faim  Sofía Morelos Astudillo Read the full interviews 👇 https://lnkd.in/dQ-hBBrx #Sener

The project ‘Water safety goals for Flanders’ aims to create security goals for both floods and droughts in current and future situations. The first step is a participatory one. With a large number of stakeholders, experts and visionary thinkers strategic goals for water security are defined. Next, a gap analysis aims at revealing the distance between the current situations and the desired security level. These strategic goals will then be translated into operational goals for five carefully selected pilot areas. These operational goals will enable the drafting of local action plans to realize the goals. Based on the insights gained from the pilot studies the method will be applied to all hydrographic basins in Flanders. IMDC relies on KENTER and Codecrea for the participation process. Clients are De Vlaamse Waterweg nv, Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij en Departement Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken.

C2TN is part of the WATER4MED project team, which aims to improve water management in the Mediterranean. The kick-off meeting of the PRIMA II project ‘Water management strategies and Adaptation acTions undER a global change context FOR the MEDiterranean region’ (WATER4MED) took place on 11th and 12th July at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain. The project aims to develop and test new approaches and alternatives to improve water management models in the Mediterranean, defining effective strategies through numerical calculations, advanced hydrochemical methods, assessments of resilience to climate change and analysis of pollutants in the quality of groundwater and surface water in the face of the current context of global change. WATER4MED is mainly funded by the European Commission and is led by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). In Portugal, it is coordinated by Paula Carreira, a researcher at C2TN - Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares, Instituto Superior Técnico, and is funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). The Institut National Agronomique de Tunisie (INAT), the Politecnico di Bari (POLIBA), Italy, the Université Ibn Zohr (UIZ), Morocco, and the Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU)(BAU), Jordan, are the partner Organisations collaborating on the project. #TécnicoLisboa #TécnicoLoures #ULisboa #C2TN #FCT #WATER4MED #QualidadedaAgua #SustentabilidadeAmbiental #AlteraçõesClimáticas #AguasSubterraneaseSuperficiais #Mediterrâneo

💡Portugal 🇵🇹 offshore wind 💨🌊 2GW by 2030 confirmed. A target 🎯 of 2GW installed by 2️⃣0️⃣3️⃣0️⃣ has been confirmed in the revised National Energy and Climate Plan 2030 (NCEP/PNEC 2030), approved yesterday in the República Portuguesa - XXIV Governo Council of Ministers dedicated to Energy and Climate. The PNEC 2030 will now be discussed in the Parliament prior to submittal to the European Commission. Attention is now on the steps to follow within the next weeks: 👉 Revised Situation Plan for Maritime Spatial Planning (PSOEM) 👉 Offshore wind auction framework 👉 Development and Investment Plan for the Electricity Transmission Grid (PDIRT-E) for the period 2025-2034 (to be submitted by REN to DGEG - Direção Geral de Energia e Geologia and ERSE until 2 December) 👉 Launch of the pre-qualification phase (still in 2024 or early 2025?) 🤫 Word is spreading that Cathie have relevant offshore geoscience and owner’s engineer experience in Portugal (Viana do Castelo to Figueira da Foz) and well established relationships with several Portuguese entities and Universities🎓🤫😊. Reach out 🤙🏼📞📧 to myself, Alexandru Grosaru or Thomas Rutherford to further discuss how Cathie can support your preparation for the upcoming tenders. #portugaloffshorewind #portugaloffshoretender #portugalleilaooffshore Cathie Portugal

Portugal 🇵🇹 offshore wind 💨🌊 upcoming auction: Up to 2GW, with target of 1GW to be built by 2030? According to Jornal Económico, on the sidelines of yesterday’s hearing in the Parliament, Environment and Energy Minister, Maria Da Graça Carvalho clarified that the Government is still waiting for a report with cost simulation scenarios, and admitted that the capacity in the upcoming offshore wind 💨🌊 auction may be lower than 2GW, pointing to a target of 1GW of offshore wind built by 2030. Minister Maria Da Graça Carvalho revealed also that the Government will hold a Council of Ministers dedicated to discuss the offshore wind auction framework at the beginning of September. The Minister also informed that the revised version of the National Energy and Climate Plan 2030 (NCEP/PNEC 2030) is nearing completion and that in this revision it was possible to raise the target for the share of renewables in gross final energy consumption to 51%, a figure that the European Commission had requested of Portugal. The PNEC 2030 should soon go into public consultation and will also be submitted to the Parliament. #portugaloffshorewind #portugaloffshoretender #portugalleilaooffshore Cathie Portugal

The Guide for accessing financing from the Modernisation Fund for RES projects outlines eligibility for new wind, solar, and hydro projects, while (questionably) excluding hybrid projects. The state aid threshold is capped at EUR 20 million per undertaking per project. Despite some proposals made during the consultations held in relation to the Guide being rejected, the Guide ensures a competitive and transparent state aid program, crucial for advancing renewable energy investments.

This week, ERRIN joined the RESIST Consortium Meeting and the GAIA Artic Summit in Vesteralen! 🌍 Through the RESIST Project ERRIN supports regions and their ecosystem of actors in applying a mission-oriented approach towards climate resilience. Thanks to the engagement of the so-called quintuple helix stakeholders, the regions are collectively developing and implementing innovative climate resilience solutions, when searching for ways to tackle their specific climate, environment and socio-economic challenges. 💚 Many of the RESIST regions are also actively engaged in the ERRIN #ClimateAdaptationTF that is now collecting regional experiences to feed in with these insights gathered on the field ERRIN recommendations on the role of EU Missions in #FP10. 📗 ❄️ Gaia Arctic Summit 2024 is organised and hosted by Norwegian partners as part of the RESIST Project. Regions engaged in RESIST will share their best practices and lessons learned. Opportunities and challenges related to climate change will be explored with world-famous experts on finance and climate and local business leaders.
