Upcoming webinar on how evidence can be translated into action for sponge landscapes

26/06/2026 Pensoft Publishers

On 15 July at 13:00 (CET), SpongeBoost is organising an online webinar to explore how evidence can be translated into action for sponge landscapes.

The webinar will focus on key project outputs where participants will have the opportunity to hear from experts from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Bureau Stroming, Environmental Action Germany (DUH), Wetlands International Europe and learn more about specific project results.

Following a short welcome, attendees will explore the S.P.O.N.G.E. database, discover how SpongeBoost engages audiences in a creative and entertaining way through its comic books, and learn more about the project's new policy brief on supporting landscape-scale water retention. The programme will conclude with an interactive discussion and a closing outlook.

The hosts will also discuss how they came up with the idea of the comic books and the original character, Spongy, while offering opportunities for feedback and contributions to future project initiatives and outcomes.

Registration is now open. We invite you to join us on 15 July and find out how SpongeBoost's latest resources support knowledge sharing and action for sponge landscapes.

Register for the event here.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
