Recent up-date from Waterdrive, 13th November 2020

Smart water management is a cross-sector responsibility and nothing else. Our present isolation working distant from colleagues is not only a barrier to do real cross-sector impact driven work but also frustrating on a pure personal level. The cross-sector dialogue is at the heart of Waterdrive but easier said than done in the present circumstances.

However, Waterdrive team does what can be done without jeopardizing health. We keep on our good work and stand-up for smart cross-sector driven water management. We have Initiated digital meetings with friends and colleagues and we are working on!

Now, almost half-way into November we can inspire ourselves with three digital seminars acting as stepping stones in the work of WP3 and WP4.

Please, see more information below and keep safe!

  • WP3 team is inviting for workshop session, which will be held at November 13, 2020 and November 18, 2020.
