DNI Secretary General Prof. Giovanna Seddaiu participated as a panellist at the MENAWARA “International Conference on sustainable water management: the use of non-conventional water in Mediterranean countries” (agenda available here).

The conference, which was held in Sassari on July 4th 2023, aimed to gather national and international relevant stakeholders, including public and private authorities to show the effective implementation of projects in the field of non-conventional water reuse taking into account the technical scientific results achieved by projects funded by the ENI CBC “Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme 2014-2020”,  a multilateral cross-border cooperation programme co-financed by the European Union under the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI).

The event was organized by the Desertification Research Centre of the University of Sassari (NRD-UNISS), coordinator of the “Non Conventional WAter Re-use in Agriculture in MEditerranean countries” (MENAWARA) project, and partner of “The MEDiterranean pathWAY for innovation CAPitalisation toward an urban-rural integrated development of non-conventional water resources” (MEDWAYCAP) project, funded by the ENI CBC MED programme.

Prof. Giovanna Seddaiu talked about how DNI contributes to building a new generation of scientists through various capacity development initiatives such as the international PhD program in Desertification and Land Degradation and the recently launched DNI academy initiative.
