On 22 January 2026, Dimitris Athanassopoulos (University of Thessaly) and Vasilis Nikoopoulos (DIAN) presented the project and its results to the online event of the ActGreen project (CERV Programme), that brought together over 130 participants from across Europe under the theme “Green Transition: Practical Solutions for Sustainable Cities.” The event convened keynote speakers from Brussels alongside seven partner organisations from Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, and Spain.
Under the title Technology and Education as Enablers, Dimitris presented the CLIMATE Erasmus+ adult education project and explained how it integrates climate literacy, digital competence, and the responsible use of generative AI in education. He also explained that the programme has produced AI-supported lesson plans, thematic modules, and a digital training platform, all connecting climate education directly to active citizenship. Vasilis (Dian) offered a brief complementary perspective on smart urban farming — including hydroponics and vertical farming — as practical responses to food security and limited urban space, illustrating how innovation in agriculture can become an integral part of the sustainable city of the future.
