On 18 November, the University of Groningen organizes a Meeting on water, in collaboration with the Hanze University of Applied Sciences. The central theme is the urgency of the water transition. The goal of this meeting is to talk about the various challenges concerning safeguarding the drinking water supply and its quality that we face in the Northern Netherlands, to make connections and collaborate.

The programme starts with several keynotes, after which an interactive panel discussion takes place. We close the programme with lunch, during which you will have plenty of time to network and talk to like-minded people.
