Second General Assembly – INNWater Project

InnWater aims to promote social innovation to renew multi-level and cross-sector water governance. The project will develop a set of tools and services for the benefit of water stakeholders.

InnWater, running from 2023 to 2026, brings together 13 partners from six countries (France, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). These partners include research and technology organizations, water users, and associations which cover EU Member States and beyond.

The project relies on social innovation, considering four dimensions for promoting and transferring results: technology, governance, capacity building, and economics.

In its first year, partner-initiated discussions, gathered information and data, shaped their approach, and built five Pilot Sites Communities with local stakeholders. Now, it’s time to delve into the project’s main outcomes: water governance assessment, citizen engagement, economic modeling, capacity building, and awareness.

Each project topic will be discussed through the lens of the Pilot Sites, which are essential for testing and co-developing these innovative tools. Special attention is also given to gender dimensions, both in project management and in the project’s implementation and impact.

A unique feature of this General Assembly is that it is open to exchanges with external speakers on water crisis management, with a dedicated session labeled Green Week Partner Event.
