Over the last two years, Ecsite and its members have been working on the WATER-MINING project to develop a programme engaging citizens with water services and the circular economy. NEMO Science Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) produced the WATER-MINING exhibition to engage museum visitors with this topic through an insightful audio tour. After being displayed in Amsterdam, the exhibition will visit Parque de las Ciencias (Granada, Spain).

Pre-Conference workshops are a full-day deep dive into a particular topic led by experts. The full day programmes ensure in depth knowledge sharing and learning. In 2023 there are 6 workshops taking place throughout Esplora Interactive science centre, which will be closed to the public.

Find out what’s been keeping Andrea Bandelli, a member of the jury that will decide the winners of this year's Mariano Gago Ecsite Awards, entertained.

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.
