Special attention on the second day of the meeting was devoted to communication, dissemination, and capitalization of results, developing synergies, and networking, as well as agreeing on the next steps for the project.
As part of the program, a study visit was also organized to [[nt]]Rivalta sul Mincio[[/nt]], a pilot area for the [[nt]]ADRISKY[[/nt]] project, during which partners had the opportunity to learn about the characteristics of the protected area and the local context in which project activities are being implemented.
The [[nt]]ADRISKY – Advancing Light Pollution Mitigation for Biodiversity and Nocturnal Habitats Conservation in the Adriatic-Ionian Region[[/nt]] project is being implemented under the [[nt]]Interreg IPA ADRION[[/nt]] program, with the aim of improving approaches to reducing light pollution and protecting biodiversity and nocturnal habitats in the Adriatic-Ionian region.
