On December 1st, the Final Seminar of the RURALtXA! project will be held simultaneously in Galicia and the Basque Country. The event aims to present the main results and lessons learned after three years of collaborative work.
The seminar will take place at the Fontán Building in the Cidade da Cultura (CISPAC headquarters, Room 9) and will be divided into two parts: a morning session for presentations and exchange of experiences, and an afternoon field visit to Serra da Groba. Prior registration is required.
On November 19th, CISPAC will host the conference “Dialogues for a Renewable Galicia”, a meeting aimed at advancing towards a fair, participatory, and territory-based energy transition.
The event will take place from 10:00 to 12:30 in Room 9 of the Edificio Fontán (City of Culture, Santiago de Compostela). The program includes a collaborative working session focused on designing a communication and participation protocol for social engagement in renewable deployment processes, followed by a final session to present the agreements and conclusions.
The Barbanza Ecosocial Laboratory arrives at Casa RIA with a programme of exhibitions, talks and public activities. This collaborative research-and-action project — involving CISPAC, Fundación RIA, the HISTAGRA group and UXAFORES (USC), among other institutions — comes to Casa RIA to showcase the results achieved over recent years.
The new programme led by Casa RIA includes five talks in Santiago and several activities across the Barbanza area, presenting practical cases, local experiences and perspectives on rural sustainability.
O proxecto europeo EC4Rural, cofinanciado polo programa LIFE da Unión Europea e coordinado polo profesor da Universidade de Vigo e director de Transferencia do CISPAC, Xavier Simón, continúa a avanzar na implantación de comunidades enerxéticas rurais en diferentes territorios da Unión Europea. A iniciativa aposta por unha transición enerxética xusta e participativa, impulsada desde o ámbito local e orientada a fortalecer a sustentabilidade ambiental e social das zonas rurais.
A comezos de outubro, a Universidade de Vigo acolleu a Conferencia Europea sobre Comunidades Enerxéticas Rurais: tendendo pontes entre a acción local e a transición cara ás enerxías limpas, que reuniu máis de 120 participantes de 20 países. O encontro permitiu compartir experiencias, crear redes de colaboración e debater sobre os retos e oportunidades que ofrece a transición verde en contextos rurais.
On October 30, CISPAC brought together researchers from Galicia’s three universities for its 4th annual meeting, titled “Researching for a For a future without wildfires.” The event aimed to rethink forest fires as a symptom of a territorial and social development model in crisis, rather than as isolated events, and to explore new forms of shared knowledge that can help imagine a sustainable future for rural Galicia.
The second part of the session took place in an internal and participatory format, in which CISPAC researchers worked in groups to identify the main challenges that Galician landscapes will face in the coming years.
The project RUPESTR3D. 3D Modelling and Digital Image Analysis for the Recording and Documentation of Rock Art in the Archaeological Park of Campo Lameiro (Pontevedra) was one of the three initiatives selected under the CISPAC Xan de Forcados 2024 Programme.
