🌟Research Educational Activities by our IMT partner🌟 🌍 On June 7, 2024, Claire Gerente, Lecturer and researcher with the NINFA Project, shared her insights on water reuse by presenting the NINFA project to 20 international master’s students at IMT Atlantique. 🌼These students, part of the MSc Process and Bioprocess Engineering program https://lnkd.in/dQEUqvRP, had the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research and its practical applications in sustainable water management. 💧A great step forward in inspiring the next generation of environmental engineers! #WaterReuse #SustainableEngineering #NINFAProject #IMTAtlantique #EnvironmentalEducation #ResearchInnovation #NINFAProject #EnvironmentalScience #GroundwaterProtection #grounwater #groundwatermanagement #watertreatment #Sustainability #ZeroPollution4Water #WaterQuality #Innovation #Collaboration #EnvironmentalImpact #CircularEconomy #EU #WaterInnovation #WaterSmartSociety #horizoneurope #energyefficiency

''To achieve a sustainable, circular economy, Europe needs a #BlueDeal for sustainable water management. A Blue Deal is not a part of the Green Deal but complements it- without blue, there is no green.''💬stressed Water Europe President Hans Goossens at the GreenPact Congress: The European ESG Summit in Poznań, held at the Poznań International Fair, Poland. 🎙At the Congress, Hans joined leaders and experts to discuss the urgent need for sustainable water management as part of a panel titled ‘Blue Deal: Protection of Water Resources in Europe.’ Key messages included: 💪 Water resilience Strategy: As water scarcity, floods, and pollution intensify, a comprehensive water resilience #strategy is needed to safeguard our well-being and economic stability. 💸 #Investment in resilience: It's great news to have a Commissioner for #WaterResilience but funds are also important. That's why, Water Europe pleads for a Water Transition Fund to support necessary investments in a climate-resilient water system. 💡Awareness and societal transition: The recently launched European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) for a Water-smart and Resilient Europe aligns with the EU's Blue Deal Declaration, marking a significant step toward broader engagement and action.
