SEADITO Kick-off Conference 18th September 2024
Oslo Rådhus, Bankettsalen
Rådhusplassen 1, 0037 Oslo
Welcome to Oslo
The EU project SEADITO under the Horizon Europe program, kicks off in September 2024 and lasts for three years until August 2027. The project is part of the European digital twin ocean initiative and has a specific focus on providing socio-ecological analysis and models in order to support the management of seas, coastal, and inland waters.
Socio-ecological models will look at the relationship between different perspectives such as natural accounting and conservation and restoration of nature in relation to society’s interests (state, municipal and industrial) and conflicts that arise in the balance between these.
In the project, there are six case study areas covering different coastal/sea areas in Europe. Oslo Fjord is one of these, which will work with pilot activities related to issues that can be analysed through digital twins for the Oslo Fjord, with access to information about the fjord’s condition and biodiversity.
