Over the month of June 2022, Water Europe organised two different editions of its Water Projects Europe event, one dedicated to the MULTISOURCE project and another one on the WATER-MINING project.
The first clustering event ”Nature-based solutions for water security and ecological quality in cities” was held on the 2nd of June. The event aimed at facilitating the systematic city-wide planning of NBS and supporting decision-making to contribute to the achievement of a Water-Smart Society. Five EU-funded NbS focused projects: MULTISOURCE, NICE, HYDROUSA, UNALAB, CONNECTING NATURE were present to exchange and discuss during WPE. The report for this event is available here, while you can still watch the session here.
Later in the month and in the context of Water Innovation Europe 2022 conference, the WATER-MINING edition took place on the 14th of June. The projects B-Water Smart, ULTIMATE, WATER-MINING, Zero Brine, and Brine Mining (LIFE) were presented during this event, giving an overview of their work and their relationship with the current legislation and their contribution to achieving a Water-Smart Society. Please find here the full WPE WATER-MINING Event Report. The session was hybrid and the streaming is available through the WE YouTube channel.
Water Project Europe (WPE) is a series of events made to learn from and build on the experience of innovating projects working on converging topics. WPE aims at clustering water-related projects by thematic areas to allow them to interact, mutually build on the respective experience, support policy development and stimulate the market uptake of innovations. From September 2022, more dedicated projects editions will be coming up. More info will follow soon.
