  • PROCAGICA PROCAGICA is the Central American Program for the Integral Management of Coffee Rust. Its objective is to increase the region's capacity to design and implement policies, programmes and measures for better adaptation, response capacity and resilience of the most vulnerable population, living in the coffee production areas of Central America and the Dominican Republic, and exposed to the adverse effects of climate change and variability. The countries involved are: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Panama and Costa Rica.
  • TomorrowNow TomorrowNow is a collaborative project led by four universities in North Carolina focused on developing a serious game that can help a greater number, and a greater diversity, of people affect decisions that impact the places where they live and work. We are using real spatial data and developing interactive technologies that can help build common understanding of challenges in the Triangle, and figure out how to address them.
  • NAIAD – Nature Based Solutions and Insurance Value of Ecosystems, Europe Nature Based Solutions are designed to bring more natural features and processes to cities, landscapes and seascapes while supporting economic growth, create jobs and enhance well-being. Participatory modelling is extensively used for the development, co-design and use of physical, social, economic and financial models.
  • Design and Calculate The project aims at further development of the Design Evaluation Tool, a proof of concept of which was developed in 2017.
