New challenges for the maintenance and sustainable development of the natural st

[Carlos Franco]

The project aims at revitalization and enhancement of natural stone sector in Mediterranean European countries creating synergies among the different stakeholders to develop new corporate strategies, heading all together in the same direction towards a circular and green competent economy.
The strengthening of the sector is addressed through next concrete actions:
 Characterization and standardization of the adequacy of use that each type of stone has for different applications. To create a natural stone catalogue with requirements for the end-user.
 Second alternative uses for waste generated by the extraction and processing of natural stone. Cluster creation: the second chance for natural stone wastes.
 Recovery of traditional uses of natural stone in the current context.
 Dissemination and awareness of the historical and social importance of natural stone in Europe.
To share the concerns affecting the sector with other sectors engaged in research and development related to a better use of stone and waste generated should contribute to making the sector more sustainable and competitive, creating employment and developing the territory with the lowest possible environmental toll achieving a more efficient and responsible use of natural resources.

Dear Carlos,

the laboratory of urban and regional system engineering (LISUT) at the University of Basilicata (Italy) is a research centre whose interests are regional and urban planning, developed with specific thoughtfulness to landscape protection, land-use activities effects and rural development. We have deep knowledges in the fields of geographic information analysis, of spatial statistics, of urban modelling, of Spatial Data Infrastructure development. We have interests in the Internet of Tings phenomena, and we have skills in open hardware usage.

We manage several contacts with local public bodies and territorial administrations such as the Province of Potenza, the Basilicata Region and several Municipal bodies. We are also in partnership with the UNESCO Club of Basilicata Region and we can eventually work on the involvement of the 2019 European Capital of Culture, Matera Municipality. We are also ready to open our EU partner’s network and portfolio in order to develop an interesting proposal on the subject you described.

We are interested in contributing to your proposal, sharing our partners and providing our scientific support to the project activities.

Hola Carlos,

He visto vuestro proyecto y creo que podemos aportar nuestro conocimiento en el ámbito de la creación de tecnosuelos. Des del CREAF, Centro de Investigación en Ecologia ubicado en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, tenemos una ámplia experiencia en el ámbito de la rehabilitación de espacios mineros y también en el aprovechamiento de residuos mineros para la generación de tecnosuelos aptos para la restauración de canteras o otros emplazamientos degradados (http://www.creaf.cat/es/recerca/ecolog%C3%ADa-funcional-y-cambio-global/conservaci%C3%B3n-de-las-funciones-del-suelo/restauracion-de-actividades-extractivas-con-lodos-de-depuradora).

Cordialmente,

Dear Carlos,

My name is Chatzilamprou Ismini and I am writing to you on behalf of the Region of Thessaly in Greece.

Your project idea “New challenges for the maintenance and sustainable development of the natural stone” is one of high interest to the region. The reason for that is that Mt. Pilion has been since the ancient Greek years, one of the best sources of natural stone for different uses all over Greece. It is thus important for us that we have the chance of generating alternative uses for the waste generated by the extraction and processing of the natural stone.

Our R&D team has a big experience in EU projects, on different project programs and of different disciplines.

If you are interested in having Thessaly Region as a partner, please contact us at: topoismini@gmail.com.

Best regards,
Ismini
