EIP Water Annual Conference 2013: “Networking & interacting – Innovating water”
The first conference of the European Innovation Partnership on Water themed “Networking & interacting – Innovating water” will be held in the EU Parliament in Brussels on 21 November 2013. Bringing together EIP Water stakeholders, it will take stock of where we stand and help shape the future of EIP Water to further increase the opportunities for collaborating on water innovation in Europe and globally.
The one-day conference will showcase innovations from both within and outside the water sector through keynote addresses, panel discussions and moderated plenary sessions. The nine initial EIP Water Action Groups established in May 2013 will showcase their nascent work; interactive sessions will assist new ideas to be taken forward, and the next steps of the EIP Water will be presented and discussed. The conference also aims to help establish new links and partnerships as well as facilitate networking between participants from water innovation supply and demand.
