Innovating for a Sustainable Future: ClimEx-PE at the III Sustainable Cities Conference and Expo
The ClimEx-PE project proudly participated in the 3rd Sustainable Cities Conference and Expo, held at the UP Rendezvénytér in Budapest on October 10-11, 2024. This national event brought together municipalities, sustainable development professionals, and water retention enthusiasts to explore innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
At the heart of the expo, the ELTE hydrogeology group showcased their groundbreaking Nature-Based Managed Aquifer Recharge (NaBa-MAR®) innovation. This methodology, developed through decades of scientific research, offers a comprehensive groundwater recharge solution that extends from local to municipal and landscape scales, leveraging the knowledge of groundwater flow systems.
The conference’s key themes included municipal water management, sustainable transport, renewable energy production, and the circular economy. These topics were explored through insightful presentations and engaging panel discussions. The expo provided a platform for visitors to interact with representatives from exhibiting companies and professional organizations.
Throughout the day, Imola Koszta and Soma Oláh shared detailed information with interested visitors at the invention stand. Soma Oláh also took on the role of a speaker, delivering a professional lecture on the NaBa-MAR® invention at the end of the day, captivating the audience with its potential to revolutionize water management practices.
