The project was initiated within the framework of EU-CONEXUS Alliance. The goal of EU-CONEXUS Enables is to create a cutting-edge environment that fosters long-term collaborations between the Alliance and its partners, which include stakeholders and municipalities. The project aims to develop long-lasting solutions to the challenges of sustainable coastal cities (Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability – SMUCS) using the Digital Twin methodology. Key aspects of the project’s strategy are to promote effective knowledge sharing, pooling of resources and collaboration between all stakeholders.

The project provides opportunities for the development of skills of the involved researchers in a number of areas, such as networking, team building and management, fundraising and mobility. One of the priorities of the project is to help researchers successfully build their careers and focus on leadership development, well-being, social impact and career opportunities beyond academia. The EU-CONEXUS Stakeholder Academy will facilitate stakeholder engagement and networking, education and collaboration. Collaborative research aimed at addressing SmUCS challenges through a variety of programs, including postdoctoral mobility, microgrants, and funding for research work within the framework of PhD cotutelle, will be among the main activities.

Information about Ilya Ilf -wiki

Ilya Ilf, pseudonym of��Iehiel-Leyb Arnoldovich Faynzilberg��(Russian:��Илья Арнольдович Файнзильберг^[1]), (October 15��[O.S.��October 3]��1897 in��Odessa��– April 13, 1937,��Moscow), was a popular��Soviet��journalist and writer of Jewish origin who usually worked in collaboration with��Yevgeni Petrov��during the 1920s and 1930s. Their duo was known simply as��Ilf and Petrov. Together they published two popular comedy novels��The Twelve Chairs��(1928) and��The Little Golden Calf��(1931), as well as a satirical book��One-storied America��(often translated as��Little Golden America) that documented their journey through the United States between 1935 and 1936.

His father was a Jewish bank clerk. He graduated from a technical school in 1913 and held various positions, including time at the telephone company and a military plant. After the��Revolution, he began working as a journalist, editing several humor magazines, and joined the Odessa Union of Poets.

In 1923, he relocated to Moscow and took employment at the newspaper��Gudok��[ru]��(roughly "Beep", also a type of stringed instrument), a publication for railway workers. His contributions consisted mostly of satirical pieces. It was there that he met his writing partner, Petrov.��

Ilf had been diagnosed with��tuberculosis��in the 1920s. He thought it was in remission, but he was diagnosed with it again during his trip to��America, and he died not long after returning to Moscow.
