Seminar – focused on the challenges of implementing nature-based solutions and watershed-based planning in cities

On March 24, in collaboration with the municipalities of Tartu, Viimsi, and Aarhus (Denmark), and with support from the INTERREG CityBlues, LIFE LATESTadapt, and Biodiversa+ BioReStorm projects, we are organizing a seminar focused on the challenges of implementing nature-based solutions and watershed-based planning in cities.

At the seminar, we will hear, among other things, how watershed-based planning is carried out in Aarhus, Denmark, and how watersheds have been defined and adopted as a tool in Viimsi. In addition to presentations, we will explore the division of roles in the planning process and work in groups to find nature-based solutions to practical problems.

WHEN? March 24, 2026, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM

WHERE? Tartu, Park Hall of the Creative Industries Center (Kalevi 17)

Please register HERE by March 19 at the latest

We welcome urban planners, officials responsible for utility networks and roads, architects, and specialists responsible for stormwater management in water systems. Feel free to share this invitation with anyone who might find it useful!

The event is free and includes lunch. We look forward to seeing everyone there in person to get the most out of the event—in addition to the presentations, there will be networking opportunities, contacts, and discussions over lunch. There are no plans for a live webcast.
