As part of the TrueFoodS project, Ecologic Institute led a comparative legal and policy analysis of nine CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs), through which Member States define their agricultural priorities and planned support measures for 2023–2027. Using a common analytical framework covering eight post-harvest stages and five sustainability dimensions, the assessment examined the extent to which post-harvest activities are reflected in strategic priorities and supported through planned CAP interventions.

FLOODTRAIN is a European project that develops a certified training programme for professionals working specifically in floodplain restoration. It brings together scientific knowledge, practical experience, and stakeholder input and translates them into a structured online training programme that supports professionals working in restoration, water management, and environmental planning in developing and implementing floodplain restoration.

As part of the EU-funded MERLIN project, the MERLIN Academy offers free online training to help practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders translate restoration knowledge into practice. One of its learning modules, “The economics and financing of freshwater and wetland restoration”, is led by Ecologic Institute's Gerardo Anzaldúa and Josselin Rouillard and focuses on the financial aspects of implementing such nature restoration initiatives.

On 8 October 2026, stakeholders from Berlin’s reuse and zero-waste community gathered for a networking meeting organised as part of the Re-Use Berlin Initiative of the Berlin Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment. For Hannah Brunkhorst, as a new researcher at Ecologic Institute, the event was a valuable opportunity to meet project partners and other people in person that are working in waste prevention, recycling and reuse. It also provided a chance to promote the upcoming expert dialogue on food appreciation, which she will moderate in January 2027 as part of the Re-Use project at the International Green Week (Grüne Woche).

The annual Ariadne climate and energy policy conference returns to Brussels one more time, to continue the insightful discussions had in previous iterations. The event marks the end of the discussion series under the Ariadne project - but represents a hand-over to a continuation under a different flag in 2027.

The project supports the German Environment Agency (UBA) in developing an integrated process framework for the climate resilience of critical infrastructure that matters at municipal and regional level. It is designed as a practical guide, developed together with selected model municipalities. It will identify gaps between policy areas, propose ways to define protection goals and levels, and recommend governance structures across federal, state and local levels. The work follows a transdisciplinary approach, in which authorities, operators, municipalities and researchers act as co-producers of knowledge rather than only as consultees.
