CTNC represented HEEFTA at the RESWATER Living Lab, strengthening collaboration between two Interreg NEXT MED projects and promoting sustainable water management and stakeholder engagement.
On 30 June 2026, the HEEFTA project was represented by the CTNC at the RESWATER Living Lab, organised by the General Directorate for Water of the Region of Murcia. The event brought together public authorities, research organisations, businesses and other key stakeholders to discuss innovative approaches to sustainable urban water management and the use of non-conventional water resources.
During the Living Lab, Miguel Ayuso, Head of the Environment Department at CTNC, participated in technical discussions focused on identifying opportunities, barriers and future actions to improve water resilience in Mediterranean urban environments. The meeting provided an excellent platform for exchanging knowledge and sharing experiences with organisations working on water reuse, climate adaptation and environmental sustainability.
One of the main outcomes of the event was the strengthening of synergies between the RESWATER and HEEFTA projects, both funded under the Interreg NEXT MED Programme. Although each project addresses different aspects of sustainability, they share common objectives related to capacity building, stakeholder engagement and the promotion of innovative solutions to address environmental challenges across the Mediterranean region.
For HEEFTA, participation in initiatives such as the RESWATER Living Lab represents an important opportunity to connect with experts and organisations working in complementary fields. These exchanges contribute to expanding the project’s stakeholder network while reinforcing the role of environmental education and the development of green and blue skills as essential tools for achieving a more sustainable and climate-resilient Mediterranean.
Collaboration across projects and sectors is a key element of the Interreg NEXT MED Programme. By engaging in events such as the RESWATER Living Lab, HEEFTA continues to promote dialogue between education, research, public administration and industry, helping to create stronger connections that will maximise the long-term impact of European cooperation projects.
