6-7 June 2023
The Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and the Municipality of Rotterdam hosted the Fourth Transnational Meeting for the partners of HOPE Project - HOPE Heatwaves on June 6 and 7, 2023. The visit was perfectly timed since the RIVM issued a heat warning on June 6 because very hot weather was predicted for several days. Never before has it been so warm this early in summer in Holland.
Day One – 6th of June, 2023
With the partners of HOPE from Treviso-Italy, Amadora-Portugal, Syros-Greece and ELISAN-Brussels has been the so-called trial day.
In the Heuveltop room on the sun-drenched roof of Gebouw de Heuvel, we coordinated the progress of the sub-projects we are working on:
An important motivation for the follow-up is: How do we make an impact? How do we provide an attractive and appealing form and content? How do we ensure awareness among the target group, etc. ?
Day Two – 7th of June, 2023
In Het Gemaal in the Afrikaanderwijk, we brainstormed in Maywith key figures about ‘Code Red’: Suppose it is 40 degrees in the neighborhood for 4 days. What happens then? We continue the research to design a district heat protocol that can serve as an example for other districts.
On this even warmer day, we showed our partners how actively and broadly we are working with heat in Rotterdam.
