ENHANCE Blue-Green-IN Climate Change

We are IN – in the climate change reality together. We work on blue-green infrastructure technologies. We seek blue-green innovation for resilient communities. We aim at blue-green inclusiveness. And we want to start with you instantly. Are you IN with us? Join us, share your experience, and co-design the blue-green-IN solutions!

Experienced tutors will support your work by providing you with basic knowledge on climate change, by sharing ready to use team-work methods, by boosting up your creativity, and by taking care of comfortable environments for your work. But first and foremost, we are open to your perspectives and ideas. Whatever unconventional you suggest, we will follow your own life-based experience, good vibe, and creativity.
