SUMMARY:UNIgreen at the FOREU4ALL Transversal Workshop 2026
DESCRIPTION:UNIgreen will participate in the third transversal workshop of the FOREU4ALL Community of Practice\, taking place on 2 and 3 June 2026 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg\, France. \n\n\n\nHosted by the EPICUR Alliance\, the event will bring together representatives from European Universities alliances to explore how higher education institutions can strengthen community engagement and foster a stronger sense of belonging among students\, academics\, and staff across Europe. \n\n\n\nUnder the theme “From Campuses to Communities: Enhancing Engagement and Sense of Belonging in European Universities\,” the workshop will provide a platform for sharing good practices\, aligning communication strategies\, and discussing innovative approaches to building inclusive and connected academic communities. \n\n\n\nThe programme will feature plenary discussions\, collaborative workshops\, a student-led roundtable\, and networking opportunities involving professionals from more than 60 European University alliances.

SUMMARY:Design with Water: Water as a Resource in the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Design with Water is an immersive summer school course that explores how water can be a driving force in shaping landscapes. Set in the unique Icelandic environment\, the course brings together students interested in landscape architecture\, environmental sciences\, planning\, and related disciplines to engage with real‑world challenges of climate change\, urban hydrology\, and nature‑based design. \n\n\n\nThrough hands‑on studio work\, field observations\, lectures\, and site visits\, participants will work collaboratively to develop a plan for a river landscape\, integrating Blue‑Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Nature‑Based Solutions. The course combines theory and practice\, offering direct exposure to contemporary projects and an ongoing European‑funded BGI initiative as an open laboratory. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLanguage: English\n\n\n\nDates of physical mobility: 3 to 10 August 2026\n\n\n\nLocation: Agricultural University of Iceland (Iceland)\n\n\n\nVirtual Mobility Dates: coming soon\n\n\n\nNumber of ECTS: 3\n\n\n\nMaximum number of participants: 30\n\n\n\n\nTarget Participants\n\n\n\nThe Summer School is a multidisciplinary international programme open to students pursuing a bachelor’s\, master’s\, or doctoral degree in environmental design disciplines\, art\, architecture\, environmental sciences\, and related fields. \n\n\n\nSubject\n\n\n\nThe concept of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) is rapidly gaining traction\, positioning itself as a cornerstone of modern planning. As cities worldwide grapple with the dual challenges of rapid expansion and the escalating threats of climate change\, the need for sustainable and resilient water management has never been more critical. Increased impervious surfaces lead to higher runoff volumes\, overwhelming conventional drainage systems and exacerbating flood risks. Simultaneously\, environmental demands on water systems\, ranging from ecological health to resource sustainability\, are becoming increasingly complex. Blue-Green Infrastructure and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer a paradigm shift\, moving beyond traditional “grey” infrastructure (pipes\, pumps\, concrete) to integrate natural processes into the urban fabric. BGI provides multi-functional benefits\, including: \n\n\n\n\nFlood Mitigation: Enhancing infiltration and water storage (e.g.\, green roofs\, permeable pavements\, rain gardens).\n\n\n\nWater Quality Improvement: Filtering pollutants through soil and vegetation.\n\n\n\nBiodiversity Enhancement: Creating habitats within the living areas.\n\n\n\nUrban Cooling: Providing shade and evaporative cooling.\n\n\n\nImproved Public Health: Creating attractive\, accessible public spaces.\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nAugust 2nd\nArrival of participants in Hvanneyri \n\n\n\n\nAugust 3rd\n\nWelcoming\n\n\n\nExploring the area\, Hvanneyri and Andakilsá\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 4th\n\nShort presentations in the morning – Examples of architectural projects related to Water\n\n\n\nGroups – Workshop\, studio work in the afternoon\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 5th\n\nFieldtrip to Grundarfjordur\, Snæfelsness peninsula\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 6th\n\nShort presentations in the morning\n\n\n\nWorkshop\, studio work in the afternoon\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 7th\n\nField trip to Reykjavik\, downtown (freetime)\n\n\n\nDavid Finger BGI and Environmental Engineering\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 8th\n\nShort presentations in the morning\n\n\n\nWorkshop\, studio work in the afternoon\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 9th\n\nShort presentations in the morning\n\n\n\nWorkshop\, studio work in the afternoon\, finalizing work\n\n\n\nLate afternoon trip to waterfalls and thermal bath (relax time)\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 10th\n\nFinalizing works in the morning\n\n\n\nProject presentations after lunch\n\n\n\nGoodbye\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 11th\nDepartures \n\n\n\n\nHow to Apply\n\n\n\nFor any questions or expressions of interest\, you may contact: Lukáš Pospíšil (lukas@lbhi.is). “If you need more information\, click here. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\nDeadline for admission is 30 April 2026.

Each notebook will be evaluated according to the completion of the assigned exercises and the correctness of the proposed solutions. \n\n\n\nThe course completion requirement is achieved by: \n\n\n\n\nattending at least 80% of the synchronous sessions.\n\n\n\nsubmitting all assigned notebooks;\n\n\n\nsuccessfully completing at least 70% of the proposed exercises across the practical activities.\n\n\n\n\nExercises will contribute equally to the final evaluation\, and partial completion of an exercise will be considered when assessing the overall completion level. The evaluation is intended to verify the participant’s ability to apply the concepts introduced during the course rather than to assess theoretical knowledge only. \n\n\n\nHow to Apply\n\n\n\nIf you are interested in this course\, register by clicking on the green bar (at the top and the botton of this page during the registration period).  \n\n\n\nYou will then be taken to the Boost platform to fill in your personal details and complete your pre-registration.  \n\n\n\nYou must use your institutional account from your home university to book this course\, If you do not have one\, you must request access credentials to this course Administrative Support team.  \n\n\n\nOnce you have them\, you will be able to log in to Boost and complete your registration.  \n\n\n\nFinally\, Administrative Support will confirm your registration and provide you with the login details for the online course through which you will be able to take this course. \n\n\n\nAdministrative Support: grighetti@unimore.it \n\n\n\n\nMore Info and Registration
