The workshop is designed for stakeholders interested in business models and policy measures supporting innovative circular water technologies. In terms of technology, the focus is on the recovery of critical resources, including freshwater, nutrient minerals, biopolymers, and energy, from urban and industrial wastewater, as well as seawater. Subjects to be discussed: circular business models, effective green funding and policy packages for the widespread dissemination of circular water technologies in Europe.
The WATER-MINING project works with pilot sites in Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Netherlands to demonstrate new and efficient ways to reuse water and reclaim nutrients, minerals, biopolymers and energy from desalination, and industrial and urban wastewater. This second video of the project focuses on the water situation in the most water-stressed country of the EU, Cyprus and how the WATER-MINING project is working together with local partners on solutions to increase water security for present and future generations.
The REV group (Research and Evaluation) will have their next online meeting on March 2, 2023 from 13.00 to 15.00 CET.
We will discuss the theme “Evaluating learning with interactive exhibits”. Two speakers will share their knowledge and experiences regarding this theme and there will be plenty of time for discussion and learning from each other. We will also look ahead at the next REV group meetings.
Mikko Myllykoski, Director of Heureka - The Finnish science centre, our host for the 2023 International Directors Forum, shares what's keeping him entertained.
As the GlobalSCAPE project reaches its conclusion, we invite you to participate in its final event, titled, 'Science communication in the world: what’s next?'. More information about the results of the project will be shared and participants will be invited to reflect upon the future of science communication in Europe and around the World.
10 years ago, during the 2012 Ecsite conference themed "Space and Time, unlimited", a task force came up with the idea to create an Ecsite Space Thematic Group - a group that would bring together representatives from ESA, science centres and museums, and private companies to exchange together on how to communicate about space to the general public.
