Tackling water scarcity by using advanced technologies in business-academia-society cooperation

The project aims to promote social innovation and entrepreneurship in water management through advanced technologies in harvesting and desalination practices. Acting4Water partners will develop educational resources and activities to raise awareness and address water scarcity through business-academia synergies. In particular, the project focuses on integrating citizen science in university courses regarding water scarcity as a means of encouraging civic engagement and advocacy. The Acting4Water project is structured on an innovative business-academia-society cooperation to offer a multidimensional open training programme to academic communities as well as to the general public. Acting4Water aims to enhance education related to water scarcity, and will this conduct a landscape analysis of the existing training practices to identify their effectiveness and explore emerging new directions.
