Water Knowledge Europe

Autumn Edition / November 9-10
What is Water Knowledge Europe?
Water Knowledge Europe is the specialized brokerage event of Water Europe (WE) that allows you to network, to exchange knowledge and experiences, and to collaborate with key actors from across the water value chain. Combining expertise and brainpower, Water Knowledge Europe features a range of EU officials and experts who present the European Funding Calls, sharing their insights with you and providing guidance for the successful preparation of project consortia.
This facilitates the setup of project consortia and the development of new project ideas at an international level. Participants have the opportunity to present their project ideas and discuss about them with potential partners in face-to-face meetings.

♦ Bring new technologies and ideas to light by getting to see what major innovative solutions the leading actors of the water sector are putting forward
♦ Learn the latest trends and getting inspiration for leading-edge technologies;
