Students from 13 countries around the world have designed the future of Klíšský Creek. You can view the designs at CPTO in July.
During the week of June 29 through July 3, 2026, an international student workshop was held at UJEP, organized by the Institute for Economic and Environmental Policy (IEEP) of UJEP’s Faculty of Social and Economic Studies in collaboration with the Department of Geography of UJEP’s Faculty of Natural Sciences and the City of Ústí nad Labem. The event was held as part of the ReBioClim project, funded by the Interreg Central Europe program.
A total of 26 students from various parts of the world came to Ústí nad Labem to work together to explore ways to improve the urban environment and increase its resilience to the impacts of climate change. Workshop participants included students from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. Countries represented included the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ghana, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Colombia, and Ecuador.
The main objective of the workshop was to assess a selected section of the Klíšský Stream in Ústí nad Labem. The students worked in international teams, conducted field surveys, and subsequently proposed specific measures for the area’s development. Their proposals are based on the concept of ecosystem services, which emphasizes the benefits of natural elements for society and quality of life.
The proposed solutions focused primarily on:
promoting biodiversity,
adapting to climate change,
flood protection,
improving the quality of life in the city,
and recreational use of the area.
The workshop brought together students from various disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds and offered a unique perspective on the possibilities for sustainable urban development
