Project End<\/h1>\n

After three and a half years we have reached the end of the UNCNET project. We are proud of what we have achieved and are happy to share it with you in the form of our final project report<\/a>. However, this is only the first step as there will be publications to follow soon. So stay tuned for more updates!<\/p>\n

Final Stakeholder Conference<\/h1>\n

On May 31 our final stakeholder conference took place in Vienna. Following input by Mark Sutton and Ika Djukic from the Austrian Environmental Agency (UBA), we presented how the expertise from each partner institute was fused in the development of the urban N budgets for our four test areas. Differences as well as similarities between these test areas were explained and the key messages describing the project results were developed. These results were more broadly discussed with local stakeholders from industry, administration and academia, as well as with Nitrogen budget experts joining the conference from the Expert Panel on Nitrogen Budgets<\/a> who held their meeting back-to-back on the next day. These insightful discussions gave us a better ideas of potential uses and ways forward for our urban N budget. Have a look at our presentations<\/a> for more information on the topics discussed.<\/p>\n

Stakeholder Workshops in Austria<\/h1>\n

On October 12 and 14, we organized stakeholder workshops in Klagenfurt and Vienna. We welcomed participants of different professional background and area of expertise, allowing for a fruitful exchange. During this exchange the first results for the Austrian test areas (Vienna, Vienna surrounding and Klagenfurt and Villach) were discussed as well as first comparisons between these areas and the Polish test areas (Zielona G\u00f3ra, Zielona G\u00f3ra new district). The focus in these discussions was on how to improve the presentation of the project outcomes to make them more understandable and applicable to a broader audience, and to identify items\/results of specific value for the stakeholders.<\/p>\n

UNCNET Annual Meeting 2021<\/h1>\n

This year’s annual meeting and second project plenary again had to be held online. Sessions were organized for September 16 and 17, 2021. Project progress by methodology, by test area, and approaches for comparison were discussed. A high level of interaction between teams has been achieved already, as also demonstrated by numerous joint scientific publications. Interaction with stakeholders remains a priority issue, aiming for best use of top science for public purposes. October will see the next stakeholder workshops, including first results for an urban Nitrogen budget for the Klagenfurt\/Villach region. Stay tuned to learn about upcoming activities and results!<\/p>\n

Stakeholder Workshops Klagenfurt\/Vienna 2020<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWith a slight delay and a change of venue, the stakeholder workshop for Klagenfurt and Vienna took place online on 13th<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0and 17th<\/sup><\/span> of November 2020. A combination of Zoom and the virtual Whiteboard Miro was used to facilitate and enhance the interaction between and with our participants. As no nitrogen budget is to be calculated for the city of Klagenfurt, the participants of this first workshop discussed the general framework of urban N budgets and the usefulness of the concept for their work. In the second workshop, a more detailed discussion on data requirements and availability was possible due to the vivid participation of representatives of Vienna city administration and of other stakeholders. Altogether the discussions in both workshops enabled us to get a more complete picture of the requirements to develop urban N budgets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe\u00a0annual meeting 2020\u00a0had to be moved to\u00a0September 10\u00a0and\u00a011, and\u00a0had to be held online \u2013 both a consequence of the pandemic. In two\u00a01.5 hour\u00a0sessions each day, we discussed the progress of each work package as well as the progress of the urban N budgets for each test area.\u00a0The meeting clearly showed that although the global health crisis altered workflows and interactions,\u00a0significant progress was achieved by all partners.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
