Projects

FRED - Fire Free MED

The Fire Free MED – FRED is a project developed and submitted with the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka and other eight partners from the Mediterranean, supported by 10 associated partners.

The FRED project overall objective is to implement advanced ICT/UAS (drone) tools for climate change adaptation, disaster risk prevention and mitigation in the wildfire segment at 6 public authorities in 6 MED countries (HR, SI, IT, BA, ME, EL, PT). By doing so, the project technical solutions will prevent and mitigate wildfires, strengthen resilience of the EU wildfire hotspot - MED and result in reducing risks to human lives, ecosystem degradation, habitat/biodiversity loss.

RGO is happy to work with the scientific partners and public authorities on the development of tools that are to support relevant wildfire/search and rescue authorities in prevention and mitigation; and subsequently have these tools tested in six separate pilot actions in: Kras karst area in Slovenia, Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Geopark in Italy, Una National park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ulcinj municipality in Montenegro, Mali Lošinj Island in Croatia and Baixo Alentejo region in Portugal.

With total budget of 2.380.000,00 EUR, project activities are to be implemented by the end of September 2026. The subsidy was awarded within the scope of the Interreg Europe MED programme.

FRED project presented at EUROPEAN WEEK OF REGIONS

FRED project was presented in the European week of regions, with Sara Balcázar as speaker representing CIMBAL. It was a very good opportunity to disseminate the results of the project and network with potential replicators.

During the session, the FRED project was showcased, with a primary focus on its efforts towards preventing and mitigating the impact of climate change, specifically in relation to forest fires. Using the Pecha Kucha technique, Sara gave concise and engaging presentation detailing the project's objective of implementing advanced ICT/UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) remote sensing tools in EU regions to enhance adaptation to climate change.

The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual four-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union cohesion policy and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.
