VR Simulations, Engaging Discussions and Forward-Looking Workshops at WATERLINE Final Conference

The incredible WATERLINE Final Conference was held in Brno, Czech Republic, where 13 partners from 11 countries came together to celebrate the project’s achievements and explore future opportunities for collaboration. The hybrid event welcomed both on-site and online participants, creating a dynamic space for knowledge exchange and innovation in digital water education.

The conference featured an inspiring sessions, including keynotes and presentations on water governance, innovation infrastructure, and digital learning tools. Highlights included:

- EU Strategic Resources: Addressing Water Challenges, presented by Dr. Jarka Chloupková, Policy Advisor, European Parliament
- Reimagining Water Education: Harnessing Digital Tools for a Sustainable Future, by Prof. Dragan Savić, University of Exeter
- Practical demonstrations of the ViLE immersive learning environment, showcasing how AR/VR technologies can transform water education
- A panel discussion on widening impact, moderated by Rasha Hassan (NMBU), reflecting on lessons learned and insights from inside and beyond the project

ACEEU was proud to contribute to Parallel Session 2: WATERLINE Legacy – Building Future Impact Together, for wich we designed the Impact Canvas used by participants to explore collaborative pathways. This interactive session allowed partners to co-create a shared legacy, identify lessons learned, and align on future opportunities for innovation, policy impact, and capacity-building in Europe’s digital water ecosystem.

The conference marked a successful conclusion to the WATERLINE project while laying the groundwork for future alliances, digital innovation in water education, and sustainable water management strategies across Europe
