28 – 29 October 2025, Nitra
The conference featured 25 expert lectures and 4 discussion panels dealing with various aspects of climate adaptation, sustainable urbanism and modern technological approaches to environmental monitoring.
R-DAS® is a partner in the REURBANEX project – long-term comprehensive research into the climate adaptation of built-up areas and the renovation of the building stock, with an impact on energy efficiency, decarbonisation, ecosystem services and air quality. The speakers therefore also included representatives of R-DAS®, who presented measures and innovative technological solutions focused on monitoring and collecting climate data, reducing environmental impacts and making the management of urban processes more efficient based on data science.
In their presentation, they introduced modern automatic monitoring systems that R-DAS® develops, manufactures and installs in Slovakia and abroad. These solutions are designed to measure, analyse, provide and store accurate and reliable data in real time, enabling better decision-making for local government representatives, building managers, urban planners and environmental and energy experts.
“Climate change is already happening and it is our shared responsibility to respond to it effectively and systematically. Reliable data from intelligent monitoring solutions form the basis for informed decisions that can improve the quality of life in cities and municipalities,” said Jozef Nosáľ, Business Development Manager at R-DAS® .
However, data and solutions from R-DAS® are not intended only for the professional sphere – they are used in the private sector as well as in schools, public institutions, the energy sector, construction and the planning of urban strategies. We already know today that data science effectively contributes to increasing the resilience and efficiency of cities in the face of climate challenges.
The Climate-Resilient Cities conference once again confirmed that connecting scientific knowledge, modern technologies and practical experience is the key to real change and to creating cities that will be ready to face the future.
A wide range of topics with one common denominator
The discussions focused on the most important areas that play a key role in adapting cities to climate change. Topics included climate strategies and adaptation planning, which help to effectively manage and mitigate the impacts of ongoing climate change. Great attention was also paid to green infrastructure, which contributes to creating cool zones, improving air quality and increasing energy efficiency.
Another topic was blue infrastructure, focused on retaining and collecting rainwater and increasing the resilience of cities to extreme weather events. The green-blue synergy was also presented, combining both approaches to support sustainability, optimise energy consumption and improve water management.
The conference also addressed issues of urban planning and building construction, especially in the context of integrating climate adaptation into urban development, energy efficiency and emission reduction. The topic of energy efficiency and waste management was also covered, presenting innovative technologies that combine renewable energy sources, recycling and circular economy principles.
All these areas, however, have a common denominator – high-quality monitoring and accurate data, which are an essential basis for effective decision-making, planning and implementation of measures. It is precisely these data and systems that are reliably provided by R-DAS®, which, through its modern monitoring solutions, brings accuracy, transparency and technological support for creating more climate-resilient cities and municipalities.
