Water connects ecosystems, communities and health—and this cross-disciplinary webinar brings together EU projects to map how pollution, climate and land use shape water quality and human wellbeing.
When & how to join
Thu 6 November, 15:00–16:45 CET — Online.
Who’s speaking
Speakers include researchers and project leads from SPRINGS, TULIP and partner initiatives: Vanessa Harris (SPRINGS), Andrés Madriz Montero, Anders Risbjerg Johnsen, Maximilian Born, Kevin Portune, Marina Treskova (TULIP), Cristian Carboni (Water Europe), Anne Leonard and Rahmin Bender-Salazar. (See the event page for full speaker order and short bios.)
What to expect
- Snapshot presentations from multiple EU projects (SPRINGS, TULIP, BlueAdaptEU, StopUP, ZeroPollution4Water Cluster, D4RUNOFF) on how water quality links to public health.
- Discussion on translating research into policy: harmonising monitoring frameworks, improving surveillance for pollutants and pathogens, and practical paths for cross-disciplinary collaboration.
- Live Q&A — an opportunity to ask experts about monitoring, modelling and citizen-driven approaches to protect water and health.
Why this matters
The webinar links ongoing research that combines hydrology, pollutant tracking, microbial surveillance and social science to inform resilient water policy across Europe—work that feeds directly into larger EU initiatives on water & health such as the Water4All partnership.
