About the event:

On April 9, 2025, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «C stocks and fluxes in urban soils across European Russia». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex Telemost platform. The working language is Russian.

The processes associated with carbon flows in soils are an important variable in the global carbon balance. As a result, they make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the biosphere. The study of these processes is equally complex and important, so special attention is paid to studies of carbon dioxide emissions by soils. 

The seminar will consider studies devoted to carbon dioxide emissions by soils in different regions of Russia.

The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex Telemost platform. The working language is Russian.

“Green” roofs seem to be an interesting object of research and a promising object from the point of view of urban infrastructure development. However, in Russian practice, such a greening mechanism is currently rare and poorly regulated by existing regulatory legal acts.

During the seminar, the results of a study of various aspects of the creation and functioning of green roofs in Russian cities will be considered.

 

Event program:

17.30 – 18.00

«Green roof substrate testing: effects of organic matter quality and proportions on drought tolerance of grass plant communities» 

Dr. Anna Gunina

18.00 – 18.30

«Study of the functioning of green roofs in Russia using the example of an open laboratory in Moscow»

About the event:

On March 19, 2025, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «Climate modeling in urban green infrastructure planning». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex Telemost platform. The working language is Russian.

In the context of the rapid supervision of cities, the issues of development planning and the creation of urban development projects require the use of modern technologies that prefer to choose optimal solutions for different consequences. Current climate modeling may provide an important basis for solving similar problems.

During the seminar, the experience of microclimatic modeling of the urban environment and the prospects for its application in various aspects will be reviewed.

About the event:

On November 27, 2024 the Research center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the global change» Agrarian and Technological Institute RUDN University organizes an international scientific seminar «ESG consulting: relevance of the agenda, analytics and prospects». The event will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform. The working language is Russian.

ESG (E – environment, ecology; S – social, social policy; G – governance, corporate governance) is a set of principles for doing business that correspond to the general philosophy of sustainable development. Speakers will present an overview of the transformation of the sustainable development concept into the concept of ESG and social responsibility, problems and prospects for disclosing non-financial reporting, taking into account changes in international requirements.

In 2018, the president signed a decree “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024.” In 2021, the government issued a decree “On approval of the goals and main directions of sustainable (including green) development of the Russian Federation” and a decree “On approval of criteria for sustainable (including green) development projects in Russia and requirements for the verification system of financing instruments for sustainable development in the Russian Federation.”” Thus, these three letters E, S and G largely determine the development vector of companies, cities and regions. How exactly this happens in practice will be discussed at the seminar.

 

Event program:

17.30 – 18.00

«Review of the social component application within the framework of ESG, prospects in the Russia, implemented cases»

Anna Romachevskaya, senior consultant at Ensor Management Consultants

18.00 – 18.30

Smart Urban Nature portal concept: in search of ideas and solutions

06/04/2021 No Comments

Last Saturday, the SUN Lab team held the first strategy session in the format of a team brainstorming session.

We discussed the concept of the Smart Urban Nature portal. This is a portal that will allow us to collect, analyze, deliver and present information about the state of urban ecosystems. Such a multifunctional open-access platform, in our opinion, will be a useful tool for different categories of users. During our session we tried to identifine these categories.
