On 25 June, 2025, our CORNERSTONE Project was part of the Water Projects Europe Clustering event on Circularity in Industrial Water".
For this event, CORNERSTONE and our sister projects RESURGENCE and R3VOLUTION came together to share cutting-edge insights and collaborative solutions for the future of industrial water use.
After a quick introduction by Andrea Rubini (Water Europe), Mateo Pastur Romay (Cetaqua - Water Technology Centre) gave a Keynote Speech on "Circular Economy and the EU Industrial Strategy". Then, the three projects introduced themselves.
In the following part of the event, Xuefei Yang (RESURGENCE) moderated a panel discussion between the coordinators of the three projects. Amongst others, they discussed a shared vision as well as industry needs and policy levers. A special focus was on the question of how to ensure that the project results and innovations are deployed and scaled up to different industrial environments after the funding period ends.
Further, the coordinators discussed other challenges such as digital tools for de-risking, the communications across different disciplines or funding solutions for higher TRLs.
Thank you to our coordinator Cejna Anna Quist-Jensen (Aalborg University) for presenting CORNERSTONE!
