Sergio's project, ‘Reclaiming the Coventry Canal’ is a joint effort of Coventry University's CAWR, University of Warwick  and The Coventry Peace House and is realised within the frame of the RECOMS project. The aim of the project is to organise a festival in which the local community will reclaim the Coventry Canal while highlighting its historical, environmental and cultural value. The festival will be co-organised among researchers, local organisations and members of the community through a series of workshops.

Maria Alina Radulescu, RECOMS fellow hosted by the Rijkswaterstaat (the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) and a PhD student at the University of Groningen, started at the beginning of 2019 a blog about her research entitled “Climate Adaptation through Socio-spatial planning” in which she explores the potential of experimental and participatory methods as part of a new, adaptive and integrated planning approach based on experimentation, flexibility, innovation and learning.

14 young researchers got together within the frame of RECOMS second training event in February in Coventry, UK to deal with various community projects and work with local stakeholders on food sovereignty and agroecology. One of the groups jointly composed a piece on the blog 'Food democracy...how?' about their thoughts and reflections.
