About Stagioni 2027
A summit for the people doing adaptation
Stagioni brings together the researchers who measure climate risk and the engineers, planners and growers who act on it: three days in Rotterdam, 8–10 June 2027.
Spring · Food & Land
Summer · Heat & Cities
Autumn · Water & Risk
Winter · Energy & Grids
Why we meet
The climate has already changed. The question is what works.
Cities are cooling streets, farmers are switching seeds, water boards are raising dikes and grid operators are planning for heatwaves. Much of this happens one project at a time, and the evidence on what works stays in reports few people read.
Stagioni puts that evidence in one room. Researchers present what they measured, practitioners say what they need, and everyone leaves with names, data and methods they can use the following Monday.

The idea behind the name
Stagioni means seasons
Each climate risk peaks in its own season, so the programme is built around four of them. Every track runs on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon in its own room.
01 · Room A
Spring
Food & Land
Crops, soils and water for farming under drought and heat.
02 · Room B
Summer
Heat & Cities
Urban heat, health, cooling and shade for the people most exposed.
03 · Room C
Autumn
Water & Risk
Floods, storm surge, river basins and pricing water risk honestly.
04 · Room D
Winter
Energy & Grids
Grids, storage and demand through heatwaves and dark winters.
Who runs the summit
Independent, non-profit and open
Stagioni Climate Network
The organiser: a Rotterdam-based non-profit of universities, cities and utilities. Fees and partner support cover the cost of the summit and the travel grants.
Programme committee
An independent committee of researchers, city officials and engineers, chaired by Prof. Ingrid Vos, chooses every talk and poster. Partners do not buy speaking slots.
Your host
Hannah Becker of Climate Desk hosts all three days, chairs the panels and leads Thursday's workshop on writing for decision-makers.
