Key Exploitable Results

The AWARD project has identified 9 Key Exploitable Results covering the full value chain of water management, from policy and scientific knowledge to digital tools, real-life demonstration and stakeholder engagement. 

Together, these results provide integrated solutions to support more resilient, sustainable and inclusive water management strategies across Europe. They are intended for a wide range of stakeholders, including policy-makers, public authorities, water utilities, researchers and local actors, and are designed to be transferable and reusable beyond the project.
