The SIDENCA consortium held a meeting on Thursday, March 26th at the premises of project partner AINIA to discuss the status of the project, the work packages on user requirements and data organisation, as well as the next steps to be taken. Attendees also visited the organisation’s digital transformation showroom, where equipment related to the project was put on display.

In this sense, the SIDENCA initiative will develop an interoperable, scalable and multi-sectoral tool to manage information aimed at supporting those involved in the prevention and management of disasters resulting from climate change within the Valencian Community. This will improve the efficient use of natural resources and minimise damage to ecosystems and biodiversity.

The meeting assessed the overall status of the project, the main challenges, upcoming deliverables and the planned dissemination for 2026. It also discussed the outcomes of meetings with end-users and key decisions regarding data usage, among other topics.

The SIDENCA consortium is led by the company Albavalor, and the private centre AINIA, the companies Innovageo and Lãberit, the University of Valencia and the Jaume I University are participating in it. The entities will contribute their knowledge of remote sensing; agriculture and drones; web platforms and geoportals; software development, technological solutions and sensors; data semantics and artificial intelligence; and geoodelling to the initiative respectively.

Through IRTIC, the role of the University of Valencia will focus on collecting, processing and structuring data such as satellite remote sensing, RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems), in-situ sensors and socio-economic parameters relevant to the prevention, detection and analysis of extreme weather events characteristic of the Valencian Community, among which are forest fires, floods, severe storms and heat waves.
