ItalianoOn Monday, June 30, 2025, the 4-year European project SCORE (Smart control of the climate resilience in European coastal cities, Horizon 2020-LC-CLA-2018-2019-2020) concluded.
Representatives of ZRS Koper, the Slovenian partner of the project, Erik Kralj and Cécil Meulenberg from the Mediterranean Institute for Environmental Studies of ZRS Koper, briefly presented the results of the SCORE project and the Piran living laboratory, in which the attendees participated.
The closing meeting, hosted by the Municipality of Piran in the Tintoretto Hall, was attended by citizens, representatives of the Municipality of Piran, the Okolje Piran and local interest groups. In an informal and relaxed atmosphere, the representatives of ZRS Koper thanked the most proactive individuals, and all participants received gift bags.
“We hope that the co-created and co-designed results of the Piran Living Lab, including a set of priority ecosystem adaptations, a plan for the restoration of terraced gardens on two plots under the Church of St. George, and two cost-benefit analyses related to different sustainable solutions, will be further developed as an ecosystem approach using sustainable and nature-based solutions. It is expected that the planned future implementation of the revitalization of publicly accessible green spaces and the restoration of historic rainwater tanks will take place in cooperation with the ViTA (Valorization and Innovation of Traditional Architecture and Landscape in Piran) working group, which was established within the SCORE project. This group recognizes terraced landscapes and traditional construction techniques, such as dry stone walls and permeable stone pavements, as important landscape elements and effective approaches to increasing the city’s climate resilience,” said representatives of the ZRS Koper in their presentations.
After the presentation, the participants first took a group photo and then socialized in the Tartini House, where they continued the discussion on the project topics and the potential of the Piran Living Lab over snacks and drinks.
The gift bags received by the participants contained promotional materials and the final SCORE project brochures, which are also available in digital format.

In addition to these promotional materials, one of the SCORE project results, led by ZRS Koper, was also translated, namely the ‘Citizen Science Playbook’, which is available in digital format in English language over here: https://zenodo.org/records/15800060 . This report contains a description of the engagement strategy used in the SCORE project to establish living labs and carry out citizen science activities. It also contains learning modules on climate change adaptation and a glossary of climate terms. It also briefly describes the tools used in the SCORE project for stakeholder engagement, and provides links to downloadable files and videos, as well as to extensive open online courses on the results and methods of the SCORE project.
