Public administration
Industrial waste heat
A map application with functions for network planning is connected to this application in order to uncover spatial relationships between waste heat suppliers and waste heat receivers. The architecture is designed in such a way that further specialist topics such as electricity can be added, as the district of Osnabrück would like to gradually expand the PInA application into a comprehensive climate protection portal.
The external support included IT project management including project controlling. The consulting services were related to the entire project cycle starting with project initialization, the step-by-step review of the service provider’s delivery items up to the acceptance of the product. One focus of the consulting services was the technical evaluation of the GIS integration and network planning in addition to aspects of data protection.
Nature and environment
Climate online presentation
For example, “Climate Online Presentation” has succeeded in intensifying the exchange between young people from all over the world on the topics of climate change and climate protection by using modern means of communication. An online platform was used to establish a direct language and image link between the actors involved. The creatively, critically and invovatively designed contributions were presented online at the events. The use of technology enabled direct interaction, which has repeatedly led to exciting and varied events.
Naturefriends International (NFI), founded in 1895 in Vienna, is the umbrella organisation of around 45 national member organisations and is itself a member of the Green 10.
