Bridging the Gap: I-CISK Platform Connects Climate Science with Local Needs
The I-CISK project is developing a cutting-edge, cloud-based platform to make climate data and services more accessible and relevant to local communities. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between complex scientific information and the practical needs of stakeholders across various sectors, from agriculture to tourism.
What is I-CISK?
I-CISK, which stands for “Innovating Climate services through Integrating Scientific and local Knowledge,” is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program. It focuses on creating an online platform that integrates scientific climate data with local knowledge, providing tailored climate services (CS) to Living Labs in various regions across Europe and beyond.
Hello everyone! My name is Ludovic, and I am excited to share my internship experience at 52°North. Over three months, I had the incredible opportunity to dive deep into geospatial innovation, tackle exciting challenges, and grow both professionally and personally. I come from Mbouda, a city in the West region of Cameroon, which is uniquely situated near the majestic Mount Bamboutos (2,740 metres high). This iconic mountain, rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage, is a natural treasure. Growing up in such a place has deeply inspired my passion for geography and geospatial technologies.
