Polo Poschiavo’s Post

It’s a wrap on the Waterwise kickoff meeting! The 12 Waterwise partners met in Poschiavo, Switzerland, over the past three days. Discussions were held about the project activities, sharing ideas and good practices coming from 7 different countries. The project partners had the opportunity to better get to know each other and everyone’s role in the project over formal and informal discussions. The whole team was happy to join in a walk close to one of the project pilot sites and learn how to collect samples from water streams for future tests. Everyone was amazed by the beauty of the Cambrena glacier and its lake! Thank you to Université de Neuchâtel and Fondazione Edmund Mach who perfectly organized the kickoff meeting, and to Cassiano Luminati from Polo Poschiavo, Alexis TRUCHET from Interreg Alpine Space Joint Secretariat, Silvia Jost and Alexis Kessler, both from the Swiss Federal Office for Spatial Development (Ufficio federale dello sviluppo territoriale ARE), for participating: their presentations gave plenty of ideas to the Waterwise team for future connections with other projects and institutions.
