Project Structure

Work Packages

NBS360 is structured around seven interconnected Work Packages that connect project coordination, field demonstration, digital innovation, governance, scaling, policy impact and capacity building.

Implementation Framework

Seven Work Packages for Systemic NbS Impact

Each Work Package contributes to the 360-degree innovation ecosystem of NBS360, transforming local demonstration results into scalable Mediterranean water resilience pathways.

WP1

Project Management and Coordination

Provides the operational and governance backbone of NBS360, ensuring administrative, legal, financial, quality, risk, ethics and data management.

Lead: ELGO M1–M36

WP2

Monitoring, Evaluation and Demonstration of Nature-Based Solutions

Establishes baseline assessments, smart monitoring, modelling and demonstration activities across the Mediterranean demo sites.

Lead: UFZ M1–M36

WP3

Intelligent Digital Ecosystems for Scalable Nature-Based Solutions

Develops the digital backbone of the project, including NbS typologies, Digital Twins, AI-enhanced planning tools and the IDSS.

Lead: NEU M1–M32

WP4

Governance, Social Innovation and Financing Ecosystems

Builds the enabling conditions for NbS uptake through stakeholder mapping, community engagement, co-benefit assessment and sustainable business models.

Lead: BU M1–M34

WP5

Strategic Scaling of Nature-Based Solutions

Translates demonstration results into replication strategies, scaling readiness frameworks, institutional roadmaps and transboundary learning.

Lead: IRIDRA M1–M34

WP6

Driving NbS Impact: Policy Advocacy and Synergy Building

Connects project evidence with policy action through Decision Theater sessions, policy briefs, EU Mission synergies and a Mediterranean CoP.

Lead: ECO M1–M36

WP7

Engage, Empower, Inspire: Communication and Capacity Building

Ensures visibility, stakeholder learning, storytelling, capacity building, youth engagement and the final NBS360 showcase.

Lead: UNISS M1–M36

Workflow Logic

From Evidence to Impact
