Final portfolio of training actions (D1.6)

Training is an essential element in the systemic innovation chain of B-WaterSmart, anchored in capacity building while corresponding to the stakeholders' needs and expectations. The B-WaterSmart training portfolio stands out with its threefold objectives: dedicated training actions to ensure capacity building on the water-smart solutions and products and maximisation of their value; promotion of transfer potential and ensuring that the products developed meet stakeholder needs and expectations; and contribution to the B-WaterSmart dissemination and communication strategy and knowledge portal to ensure knowledge accessibility and uptake. Moreover, the portfolio's adaptability allows the integration of additional training actions to add value in supporting B-WaterSmart purposes, benefits, and knowledge, both for those directly involved in the project and for the broader public.
