Consortium meeting in Riga in November

The previous meetings were in Warsaw, Poland in March and in Kuopio, Finland in June.

In the Riga meeting, the project partnership discussed about the risk analysis, functionality of the WaterSafe-tool, system boundaries and circular business models. The great emphasis was determining the preconditions for pilots. The consortium worked in groups discussing and clarifying issues like monitoring and analysis, technical matters, public procurement and communication and cooperation with the target groups. The main aim was to define the final conditions for pilots, so that all greenhouses were ready for the coming growing season.

There will be eight pilots divided to three groups.

1. Savonia’s Water LAB, Kuopio, Finland
2. WWTP Czajka/ Pruszków/Południe, with Warsaw University of Technology, Poland.
