Our fourth General Assembly took place in Delft!

Jun 25, 2026

Earlier this month, our partners gathered in the beautiful city of Delft (The Netherlands) for the 4th Plenary Meeting of the EU project Minority Report. A special thank you to our hosts, DEMO Consultants (André van Delft and team), for organizing such a seamless event.
--
During the plenary meeting, we reviewed the progress across all relevant Work Packages. As we move closer to consolidating our technical solutions, particular attention was given to the community engagement round and the demonstration of the digital solutions aimed at improving urban resilience.
--
Our project's digital innovations focus both on nature-based solutions and renovation strategies aimed at increasing the ability of the urban environment, from the single building or infrastructure node to the community, district and ultimately city scale, to respond to catastrophic events, whether resulting from extreme weather and natural disasters or from the long-term changes in climate and the associated pressures placed on the built environment. Based on a people-centric framework, the community engagement rounds and workshops have been guiding the development of our Resilience Toolkit.
--
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the discussions, special thanks to Niall Buckley for the coordination efforts. It is rewarding to see how far we have come and how our solutions are becoming ready to support accessibility and inclusivity across Europe.

Minority Report New European Bauhaus Satellite Event

Jun 23, 2026

Two weeks ago, and Part of the New European Bauhaus Festival, our satellite event took place at The Green Village, in Delft (The Netherlands). The event brought together a diverse audience to exchange knowledge on climate resilience and inclusive urban transformation. Throughout the day, three sessions were organized and are summarized below.

Opening session - The event was opened by Eleni Goni (Minority Report), who introduced the Resilience of the Built Environment Cluster and highlighted the increasing complexity of climate-related hazards affecting urban environments. In sequence, Eva McAlister López, Policy Officer at the New European Bauhaus Unit, presented the New European Bauhaus (NEB) as a practical policy and implementation framework supporting the European Green Deal.

Session 1 – People | Co-creation for Inclusive and Climate-Ready Neighbourhoods
The first session, moderated by Katharina Faradasch (Minority Report), focused on the social dimension of resilience and the role of co-creation in climate adaptation. Across the presentations from Gabrielle Froes (Minority Report), Eylul Aksekili (RETIME Project), and Max Beihofer (CARMINE), a common message emerged: resilience depends not only on technical innovation, but on meaningful participation, inclusive governance and context-sensitive decision-making.

Session 2 – Places | A Place-Based Approach for Holistic Resilience & Nature-Based Strategies
Moderated by Dimitra Xidous (Minority Report), Session 2 focused on how physical environments, local ecologies and building systems shape resilience. A recurring message presented by Thomas Grey (Minority Report), Fiona Demeur (GreenInCities Project), and Simona Bianchi (MULTICARE Project) was that instead of being simply designed, resilient places are co-created, adapted and negotiated over time.

Session 3 – Tools | Tools, Technologies & Frameworks for Future-Proof Urban Transformation
The final session focused on the tools and technologies enabling resilience implementation. Moderated by Niall Buckley (Minority Report), the presenters highlighted that resilience depends not only on innovative solutions, but also on the tools, monitoring systems and market pathways that enable implementation and replication. The interventions were provided by Niall Buckley (Minority Report), Juan Pablo Aguilar-López (MULTICLIMACT Project), Moatasim Mahmoud (CLIMRES Project), and Andrea Geyer-Scholz (MAIA Project).

Site Visit and Demonstration
The formal conference programme concluded with a guided visit to The Green Village at TU Delft, led by Alessandra Luna Navarro, which offered participants a practical demonstration of experimental innovation in the built environment.

We would like to thank organizers, speakers, and attendees who contributed to our first international event. This EU-level opportunity successfully positioned the project within both the New European Bauhaus and the wider European resilience ecosystem, creating new opportunities for clustering, dissemination and future collaboration.
