The online workshop “From the GREAT and WATERVERSE experience to future Water Data Spaces,” successfully held yesterday, marked a significant step towards fostering a Water-Smart Society. Organized by Water Europe, FIWARE Foundation, and Big Data Value Association, the event featured presentations from the GREAT and WATERVERSE projects, which highlighted the urgent need for collaborative data management in the water sector.

During the session, participants explored synergies between the projects and discussed the requirements and specifications needed to implement future Water Data Spaces. The workshop aimed to support the EU Strategy for Data, catalyzing a digital transformation across Europe and integrating Digital Water as a pivotal component of environmental sustainability. Insights from the workshop will contribute to shaping a cohesive strategy for data sharing and standardization within the water community.

This workshop not only catalyzed a digital transformation across Europe but also reinforced the integration of Digital Water as a crucial element of environmental sustainability. Insights gained are set to contribute to a cohesive strategy for data sharing and standardization within the water community.
