| Date | Event type | Location | Description |
| 13.01.2026 | Kick-off meeting | Online | We briefly presented our case studies. The final selection of these sites will be clarified following the completion of the first two work packages. We also initiated the definition of tasks for WP1, a key milestone that will set the foundation for the entire project. The Bulgarian team proposed a framework to systematically collect both qualitative and quantitative data, strengthening the robustness and publishability of our results |
| 28.01.2026 | Defining methodology meeting | Online | In the second meeting of AQUALive the discussion focused on the coordination and tasks for WP1. |
| 12.02.2026 | Defining methodology meeting | Online | We reviewed WP2 objectives and deliverables for identifying candidate zones for floodable parks. The Turkish team made a list with the criteria and data/maps needed and for mapping, site selection, hydrological modelling and capacity estimation. The main WP2 outputs will be a ranking of floodable-park potential areas. |
| 26.02.2026 | Defining methodology meeting | Online | WP3’s methodology was outlined. Vegetation types will be identified through GIS spatial analysis using Sentinel-2 imagery (10 m resolution), ensuring consistency across case studies. This will be complemented by vegetation relevés conducted twice during the project, in spring or summer. Water quality will be monitored seasonally, alongside sediment analyses conducted twice a year (wet and dry seasons) to assess composition and pollutants. Finally, a literature review using the TRY database will examine flood-adaptive vegetation traits |
| 23.03.2026 | Defining methodology meeting | We reviewed the progress of all work packages. WP1 and WP3 are currently developing their methodologies, to be shared in the next meeting. WP2 requested partners to upload required maps and data to support geospatial analysis. WP5’s approach was presented, raising discussions on overlaps with WP1. The Polish case studies were also introduced, prompting discussion on selecting two parks | |
| 08.04.2026 to 10.04.2026 | Med Green Forum | Florence, Italy) | In this 8th edition of Med Green Forum, organized by the Italian partners (UNIFI) AQUALive project is going to be presented to the academic community. |
| 06.05.2026 | DUT Call 2024 Projects Kick-off | Online | DUT is inviting all projects funded in the DUT Call 2024 to an online kick-off event on 6 May 2026. The event aims to give introduce the partnership, its mission and key activities and inform about upcoming activities and requirements. |
| 05.10.2026 to 06.10.2026 | Urban and Regional Policy Congress | Kraków, Poland | A session will be facilitated by the Krakow partners (IRMiR) to present the first preliminary results of the AQUALive project. |
| 07.10.2026 to 10.10.2026 | First presential meeting of the AQUALive consortium | Kraków, Poland | The consortium will finally meet in person in Kraków, Poland. We will discuss the preliminary findings, how to proceed the research and next steps towards publications. We will also visit the case studies of our polish team. |
