On March 26th 2021, different H2020 projects got together with EU policy makers to discuss governance challenges for the water sector and in the transition towards circular water solutions. In this event (Water in the Circular Economy Policy Development), experts and policy makers reviewed relevant regulations, such as the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and Sewage Sludge Directive.

 The programme consisted of brief presentations from the projects, each highlighting relevant directive topics, and showing results from a demo case on the policy implications for the circular water solutions. Each presentation finalised with a discussion statement. After two sessions with three presentations, the European Commission policy officers reflected on the statements.
