Croatia ensures better monitoring of weather and climate with modernised meteorological network

The EU-funded METMONIC project aims to modernise Croatia’s national meteorological network with the acquisition of 450 instruments, including automatic weather stations, weather buoys and remote measurement systems such as meteorological radars. This will improve measurements taken from close to the earth’s surface and the upper atmosphere. The project will allow for more accurate predictions of extreme weather, and better understanding of climate change, which should contribute to better policies to help protect society from its effects.

Eco-friendly rehabilitation centre built in central Poland

A rehabilitation centre fitted with the latest physiotherapy equipment has been built with EU funding in the village of Szczerców, in the Łódzkie region of central Poland. Construction of the centre, which has been operating since March 2018, was based on the so-called Passive House concept. This aims to ensure extremely low energy consumption and minimise the carbon footprint of a building. Heat and electricity are thus largely generated from renewable sources, in particular solar and geothermal energy.
