Path4Med

Path4Med aims to design, pilot, and upscale a portfolio of advanced monitoring technologies and agricultural management practices to reduce soil and water pollution in the agro-hydro-systems of the Mediterranean Sea basin and other European seas.

Path4Med advances and consolidates sustainable agricultural management technologies within an inclusive and open participatory environment. It evolves and mainstreams novel monitoring technologies and integrated solutions for water and soil quality management, while assessing their technical feasibility and socioeconomic viability through an integrated modeling framework. A key component is the quantification of effectiveness and net impact of solution cascades, alongside actions to empower citizens with measurable evidence, increased awareness, and improved water literacy. Path4Med solutions will be validated through various Demonstration Sites across representative Mediterranean and European coastal regions. Each Demonstration Site serves as a ‘living laboratory’, allowing researchers, farmers and local stakeholders to observe and evaluate sustainable solutions in action. A digital platform and supporting tools will enable effective communication of knowledge, enhance transparency, and ensure data integration with international observatories and knowledge systems.

Path4Med combines a multidisciplinary consortium of 26 partners of scientific excellence and innovative expertise across Europe, with the common vision for sustainable Mediterranean agriculture.

NEUROPUBLIC plays a key role in integrating digital infrastructure and agro-environmental intelligence across the project’s monitoring, modeling, and decision-making activities. It co-leads the design and implementation of the Sperchios River Basin Demonstration Site, driving stakeholder engagement, field-level piloting, and best practice validation. As a core ICT and data partner, it contributes to the benchmarking of monitoring and nutrient management technologies, the development of EO- and IoT-based frameworks, and the creation of integrated environmental datasets and models supporting long-term resilience under climate and socio-economic change.

The Path4Med project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 101156867.
