CIRSEAU is creating a Circular Water Economy Community to accelerate the transition to a water-smart economy and society. To achieve this goal, many different stakeholder need to be involved to enable a change of perspective towards innovative water solutions and regulations.
The project has established 5 working groups to unite professionals, entities and actors from different perspectives and backgrounds. Anyone can join one or several groups and contribute with expertise to help CIRSEAU achieve its goals.
Business Development & Market
Uptake
The Working Group on Business Development and Market Uptake, led by AQUALIA, translates technical innovations into viable water management solutions. Through collaborative mapping of exploitable results, strategic business and financial modelling, and in synergy with Circular Water Accelerators, large-scale adoption of sustainable circular water concepts is fostered.
Impact
Assessment
The Impact Assessment Working Group, led by SINTEF, focuses on assessment methods to assess social, environmental, and economic impacts of project results, and aims to provide a set of harmonised KPIs to assess impact of actions on EU policies.
Policy & Long-term
Impact
The Policy & Long-term Impact Working Group, led by TU Delft with support from IWW, focuses on ensuring that insights from CIRSEAU’s cluster of circular water economy projects inform and influence EU-level policy, legislative development, and funding priorities—driving long-term systemic impact.
Education & Training
The Education & Training Working Group, led by TU Delft with support from NTUA-UNESCO, focuses on advancing education and capacity development for the circular water economy. It brings together key stakeholders from academia, industry, and policy to promote innovative and interdisciplinary learning approaches and address critical skills gaps. The group is working towards a long-term collaborative framework to align efforts, share best practices, and support systemic change in water education and training across Europe.
Communication
The Communication Working Group, led by IWW with support from INNCOME, develops and implements strategies to enhance internal and external communication for the project and its key messages. This includes managing public relations, creating content for various media channels, and ensuring consistent messaging to effectively engage stakeholders and the public. It also includes collaboration with other projects and initiatives to create synergy effects.
