Next week (3rd of November 2016), the VIA Water team has their annual brainstorm meeting, where we reflect on last years’ programme but also look forward to next year: 2017. Which activities of VIA Water would help both our potential project owners, still busy with their proposal, as well as the project owners of running projects? What should we do to stimulate further knowledge exchange? Which other stakeholders should be involved in our programme? What sort of support is needed to make our innovations successful?
