Internet Web Solutions (IWS) has successfully organized two public events to present the Eureca project, including its objectives and results, to a non-professional audience interested in urban ecology and environmental issues.

The events were held in two separate sessions, bringing together a total of 79 attendees. The first session took place on July 16, 2025, and was attended by 16 people. The second session was held on November 13, 2025, and welcomed 63 participants across three different groups.

Organization and Logistics

From an organizational standpoint, IWS invited participants through its own social media channels and those of the Eureca project. The invaluable support and outreach from their associated partner, Arrabal, was also instrumental in promoting the events.

Both sessions were hosted at Arrabal’s facilities, which provided ease of access and allowed for the broadest possible capacity.

A significant portion of the presentation was dedicated to showcasing the Best Practices in urban ecology, which the consortium partners (from Spain, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Portugal) have compiled from their respective countries.
