INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION (15.09.2026-31.01.2027): AFTER THE STORM– Resilient Transitions in Mediterranean Water Landscapes under Climate Pressure
- After the Storm addresses one of the most pressing challenges faced by many European regions today: the transformation of landscapes under climate change, increasing urbanisation and disconnected governance. The catchment area or basin of the Poyo ravine represents a paradigmatic Mediterranean socio-ecological system, where water has historically structured land uses, settlement patterns, agriculture, infrastructure and collective identity, and where high climatic variability – combining prolonged droughts with extreme rainfall events – intensifies territorial vulnerability. This competition invites students to develop systemic landscape strategies for a more resilient future in the Poyo Ravine Basin, in response to the challenges of climate change.
