WATER PROJECTS EUROPE @ ECOMONDO: clusters, synergies and interface with market players and problem owners

CALL FOR PAPERS

Zero pollution and circular economy should be achieved within climate change challenges and nexus optimization, with support of digital solutions. Synergized European innovation actions can inspire both scale-up and replication of ecoinnovative solutions together with systemic change. The workshop will bring together partners of European projects with industries, public and private stakeholders that are implementing large innovations. A specific focus on Balkan and Mediterranean areas will be prioritized.
