The Nordic Water Network held its first conference in Berlin on November 10th and 11th. Professors and PhD candidates from all four partner universities (CUT, NTNU, AAU, TUB) and the DTU Denmark gathered for presentations by the PhD candidates. They were granted the chance to present their current work and receive feedback from the audience, coming from different backgrounds and specialisations. Futhermore, the different departments agreed on deepening their joint research and teaching by applying to the EU MSCA Call in 2018.
