Project period
1. March 2020 – 28. February 2023
Background
Due to the rising sea levels and extreme waterfalls the project will strengthen the water sector and equip both countries for climate change. The project is an interdisciplinary collaboration within water management and climate adaptation across the border. The most important result will be a combination of relationship building and innovation collaborations between universities and companies within water and climate adaptation technologies.
Method
The Project builds on a combination of different methods in order to achieve the goals of the project:
- Cross sectorial collaboration (water utilities, universities, and firms within the water sector)
- Interdisciplinary collaboration (business management, biology, engineering, geology and others)
- Screening and selection of relevant problems and solutions
- Development and co-creation of new solutions and development proto-types and new concepts
- Meet the buyer arrangements
