AGEO finalist of the REGIOSTARS Awards 2025: support OSIRISC and vote!
The European AGEO project, in which the University of Western Brittany (UBO) participated through the Integrated Coastal Risk Observatory OSIRISC, has been selected by the European Commission as a finalist for the prestigious REGIOSTARS Awards 2025. This award, a true mark of excellence, recognises the most innovative and impactful European projects each year. AGEO is competing in the Green Europe category and also hopes to win the public prize.
AGEO brings together scientists, local communities and policy makers in a platform that issues alerts, provides information on events and educational content on geological risks in Atlantic regions, and helps protect European citizens from risk scenarios such as landslides, seismic activity, flooding and coastal erosion. At the heart of this project, the OSIRISC observatory, based in Brittany, has played a major role as a pilot for coastal erosion and marine submersion risks.
👉 Public voting is open until 15 October 2025.
Every vote counts to support AGEO’s visibility and OSIRISC’s leading role in protecting Brittany’s coastline.

OSIRISC, an integrated coastal risk observatory and pilot project for the European AGEO initiative, is developing an innovative and collaborative approach to analyse the vulnerability trajectories of coastal areas. Based on three pillars — an integrated approach, co-construction of tools and collaborative observation with local authorities — it collects and analyses data on erosion and marine submersion, the issues at stake, the means of managing these risks and the associated social representations. This information is presented in the form of indicators accessible via interactive mapping platforms (OSI, MADDOG). Established in 2019 in Finistère, OSIRISC is now expanding to other areas of Brittany thanks to regional and European support, with the ambition of inspiring other observatories. At the same time, it supports local authorities in coastal risk management, provides scientific expertise and contributes to raising awareness and skills among local stakeholders.
