Events Proceeding Report

Adjacent to the kick-off meeting, a launching event will be organised in M4 to present WaterProtect to relevant stakeholders particularly illustrating the objectives of the project, the 7 case studies that will take place, the innovative technologies that will be demonstrated, the water quality viewer that will be developed. At the completion of the project, the consortium of the project will organise a closing event to present the project’s activities and results.
