The Challenge
Background: The CoWup consortium operates at the intersection of security and environmental research. They analyze marine risks in the Gulf of Finland to improve regional crisis preparedness.
The Problem: Drastic shifts in regional stability halted regional cooperation and introduced unpredictable environmental threats. There was a clear need to bridge the gap between deep scientific research and accessible stakeholder communication. The project lacked a distinct visual voice to present these complex scenarios clearly.
The Objective: Create a unified visual brand and a functional website. The goal was to build a professional identity capable of communicating complex scenarios with clarity, ultimately establishing trust and credibility among policymakers, peer researchers, and key stakeholders.
