Tétraktys is looking for an IVY volunteer!
The volunteer will support the Interreg project “WATERWISE - Co-designing sustainable management solutions for resilient Alpine Headwaters", under the Interreg Alpine Space programme.
The objective of the Interreg project "WATERWISE" aims to leverage recent advances in modelling techniques tailored to assess the vulnerability of headwaters to climate and land-use changes, and to make them accessible to local water and land managers. Through collaboration between scientists, communities and protected area managers, an innovative digital toolbox will be co-designed and tested in seven pilot sites. This toolbox, accessible via a user-friendly web-platform, will facilitate the collection, analysis and visualization of in-situ climatic and ecohydrological data, while also enabling headwaters vulnerability assessments.

Support to the facilitation of the young water ambassadors network with the organisation of activities across the alpines countries;
Contribute to the collective intelligence workshops on the future of the regions at two pilot sites in the French Alps (Tignes and Contamines-Montjoie);
