The session will take place at the FCT premises (Av. D. Carlos I, 126, in Lisbon) and will run throughout the day, with the aim of presenting the Water4All Research and Innovation Strategy and sharing the results of the national survey. The event will also serve as an opportunity to foster discussion among stakeholders and gather input for defining strategic priorities. The full programis now available for review.

This initiative is part of the national consultation process, which aims to gather input from researchers and stakeholders to identify priorities, challenges, and opportunities in the water sector in Portugal, thereby strengthening alignment with the European Research and Innovation Agenda. The results of this consultation will also take into account the responses to the questionnaire previously conducted by Water4All, and the input from the national community is essential to ensure that the future Agenda comprehensively reflects the needs and perspectives of the various stakeholders.

This event is open to anyone interested, provided they register in advance by April 10. Due to logistical constraints, space is limited to 45 participants.
