More than 70 members from the B-WaterSmart consortium met online for an intense two-day conference in the middle of March.

The goals of the meeting were to provide and receive an overview of the general project progress, to learn about the first achievements of the work packages and Living Labs, plan the work ahead, get informed about administrative and ethical aspects, and last but not least exchange knowledge and practices in relation to selected topics between Living Labs and partners involved. There also were breakout sessions about stakeholder engagement, communication & dissemination, and policy aspects with the CIRSEAU – sister projects.

Two work intense days filled with presentations, workshops and fruitful discussions showed that the project is on a very good way. The first results are available and all work packages and Living Labs are on track. The meeting was followed by a CIRSEAU – Young Water Professionals session.
