On 11^th November 2021, the Community of Practice of the LL East Frisia had its first meeting. Due to the current Covid-19 situation in Germany, the meeting was held online.

All interested stakeholders were introduced to the project and its main technological solutions that are demonstrated in pilot studies within the project. Within an interactive workshop session, the participants exchanged their ideas and created a vision of a water-smart future for Northern Germany and possible pathways to achieve this common vision.

In the next meetings, the CoP will continue its work with the development of a common strategic agenda to foster innovative solutions for water management in Lower Saxony to achieve a stronger circular economy. Hopefully, this common strategic agenda will continue after B-WaterSmart ends and help to make East Frisia a water-smart region in the long term.
