Triplex Confinium

Project Title:
Triplex Confinium – Tackling Gaps and Mismatches in the Field of Higher Education for Architecture and Urban Planning while Exploring and Addressing Discontinuities along the National Borders in-between Romania, Hungary and Serbia
Monitoring, forecasting and development of online public early warning system for extreme precipitations and pluvial floods in urban areas in the Hungarian-Serbian cross-border region
 

The project is (partially) funded by the ERASMUS+ grant program of the European Union under grant no. 2019-1-RO01-KA203-06388

Acronym: TC
Project code: 2019-1-RO01-KA203-063881
Total Project budget: 299,306 EUR
Duration: 04-11-2019 – 03-11-2021
Lead Beneficiary:
Politehnica University of Timisoara
Partners:
University of Novi Sad, University of Debrecen, Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Planning, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Babes-Bolyai University
Project summary:
Present day architecture students, educators and consequently young professional architects, from Romania, Serbia, and Hugary are mostly unaware of each others common cultural ground and of the extent that their somewhat similar recent social, political, and economic history is affecting their work environment and design decisions. The transnational collaborations that tackle the complex territorial conditions of one such very specific possible meeting area, the Banat region (DKMT euro-region) – important cultural component resting on the border between Central and Eastern Europe, have yet to fully consider the relevance of architectural national policies.
The project will provide insight into how partner universities approach the issue of transnational spaces and the impact of national borders on the development of communities that exist in border areas
 
By coming together, the architecture schools, seen here as principal promoters of the partnership, hope to tackle the curricular gaps and mismatches that, in spite of their national or international recognition, isolate them from one another when seen strictly at a regional or transnational level.

Project Title:
Monitoring, forecasting and development of online public early warning system for extreme precipitations and pluvial floods in urban areas in the Hungarian-Serbian cross-border region

Acronym: URBAN-PREX

Project code: HUSRB/1602/11/0097

Total Project budget:
750,789.88 EUR

EU contribution (IPA):
638,171.39 EUR

Duration:
1st November 2017 – 31st October 2019

Lead Beneficiary:
University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Sciences (UNSPMF)

Partners:
University of Szeged, Dep. of Climatology and Landscape Ecology (SZTE)
University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences (UNSFTN)
Municipality of Szeged (MOS)
Municipality of Novi Sad, PUC Water and Sewage Utility Novi Sad (VIKNS)

Project summary:
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation and pluvial flood occurrences in urban areas of Central Europe. Thus, the proposed project presents a good opportunity to develop and implement an innovative monitoring, forecasting and public online system for early warning of extreme precipitation and pluvial floods in urban areas of the Hungary-Serbia border region.

Through the project, two dense precipitation monitoring networks will be installed in the most populous cities of the Programme area: Novi Sad (Serbia) and Szeged (Hungary). The Projects plans to develop the  Planned continuous data recording, transmission and processing, as well as real time display of the processed data in a spatial form (i.e. map) which will be useful for citizens (i.e. individual adaptation) and public institutions (e.g. traffic and water management, city government) in the border region.

Cultural Heritage 3D Surveying and Modeling

Workshops, Fondazione Bruno Kesler, Trento Italy & Digital Design Center, FTN, University of Novi Sad,  26-28 March 2014.

The workshop was held in Novi Sad, under the leadership of FBK, as part of the project GisNS. It focuses on 3D surveying and modeling, with particular attention to the image-based and photogrammetric approach. The workshop consisted of some theoretical lectures (principle of surveying, photogrammetry and laser scanning with examples in the field of Cultural Heritage, city mapping and planning, landscape monitoring, energy demand assessment, etc.) and practical demonstrations with image acquisition on site and data processing in the lab. Result is 3D HighRes model of Petrovaradin Fortress. The workshop was attended by 25 participants, with technical and humanistic background, coming from academia, private companies and cultural institution.

The workshops are organized within the activities of the project “GisNS – Development of Online Geodata Portal of Cultural Heritage in Novi Sad” funded by CEI-KEP (http://www.cei.int/KEP). The GisNS is an interdisciplinary project which aims to solve the problem of missing digitized and well organized 3D Cultural Heritage assets within the geodata portal of Novi Sad (Serbia). The project partners are:

  • 3D Optical Metrology (3DOM) unit – Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK), Trento, Italy
  •  Faculty of Technical Sciences – Department of Architecture, University of Novi Sad, Serbia
  • Public Enterprise for City Construction and Development, Novi Sad, Serbia
  • Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Novi Sad, Serbia

Workshop on Indoor 3D Surveying and Modeling and Presentation of GISNS Project Results

Workshop for knowledge and technology transfer: on 22-23 January 2015, as a part of the GisNS project.

The workshop was held in Novi Sad, under the leadership of Fabio Remondino from FBK, Italy. The focus was on indoor 3D surveying and modeling of cultural heritage, with particular attention to the image-based and photogrammetric approach. The workshop consisted of two theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations with image acquisition on site, in the Museum of Vojvodina, and data processing in the lab at the Faculty of technical sciences. The workshop was attended by participants with technical and humanistic background, coming from academia, private companies and cultural institution.

Petrovaradin Fortress Surveying Using UAVs

Workshop for knowledge and technology transfer: on 27-28 October 2014, as a part of the GisNS project.

In a two day workshop, the upper part of Petrovaradin fortress was surveyed using multirotor-like UAV platform (drone).

The workshop was held in Novi Sad, under the leadership of FBK. It was focused on 3D surveying and modeling, with particular attention to the image-based and photogrammetric approach, using specific UAV platform.
