The European Commission presented the REGIOSTARS 2025 digital certificates and plaque to the partners of the AGEO – Atlantic Geohazard Risk Management project and to CCDR Norte, the Managing Authority of the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme. The ceremony was hosted by the Agency for Development and Cohesion in Lisbon on 20 May.
The event provided an opportunity to formally receive the award presented last October during the European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels, where the AGEO project won both the Green Europe and Public Choice categories.
Launched by the European Commission, the REGIOSTARS Awards recognise outstanding investments supported by European regional development funds. AGEO was recognised for bringing together scientists, local communities and policymakers through an app that enables users to issue alerts, receive information about events, and access educational content on geological risks in the Atlantic Region.
The project helps protect European citizens from hazards such as landslides, seismic activity, floods and coastal erosion. It also led to the creation of five citizen observatories, enabling local communities to actively participate in this early warning system.
The initiative was led by Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal and involved 13 partners from Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
