SUMMARY:Wetskills-Romania 2021
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]For the fifth time to Romania!\nWetskills Foundation and partners organized the Wetskills Challenge for the fifth time in Bucharest\, Romania. This Wetskills edition in Romania was hosted by the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest. Other main partners of this event were the Politehnica University of Bucharest and Technical University for Civil Engineering in Bucharest\, the Romanian Water Association\, Apele Romane and the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. \nRomania has a very diverse landscape and water system\, with high mountains and the largest Delta of the European Union: Danube Delta. Romania faces challenges in water and wastewater\, in both large urban areas as well as remote rural villages\, and has a large water management experience of dealing with floods and droughts. And the country itself is inspiring and various: From the booming big Bucharest with its historic buildings and churches\, immens large People’s Parliament and the Old City with bars\, pubs as heart of the City to idillic smaller cities and villages in epic Transylvania and more low and dry Wallachia (border to Bulgaria) and the Europe’s largest bioreserve Danube Delta. \nThis edition of Wetskills started on 11 September 2021\, and was taking place in and around to the great city of Bucharest. During the 2-weeks program the participants worked in international\, multidisciplinary teams on real-life water cases. The finals and awarding were during an hybrid workshop with livestream on 22 September. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Draft overall Programme Wetskills-Romania 2021 \nLeaflet Announcement for Participants Wetskills-Romania 2021 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Romania 2021 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/2007458975975366/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Joining this Wetskills Event – What do you get?\nA unique learning experience where you will tackle real-life water challenges with your own team!\n♦ You will increase your skills in: international cooperation;

The ambition is to become the fourth most circular city of the Netherlands. To achieve this goal\, reducing waste streams is required\, and specially in neighborhoods with blocks of flats this is a challenge. Currently\, households have the option of separating plastic\, paper and residual waste. Residual waste is where the problem arises because it includes many streams that are bundled together as one\, including organic waste. Question of the city is: How can organic waste be separated from the residual waste stream? and what valuable use could be made of it in the city? \nPoster Team 1\n \n[vc_single_image image=”58777″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Flash floods inspiration guide\nCase owner: RBA Siret & Blue Deal programme Romania (by Dutch Water Authorities) \nRomania and The Netherlands\, cooperating under the BlueDeal programme\, are water-rich countries with a long-standing history of combatting floods and keep their feet dry. Due to climate change\, both countries are becoming more vulnerable for heavy rainfall. RBA Siret in the Northeastern part of Romania is facing severe flash flood challenges. Especially farmers and inhabitants of small villages suffer. The team is asked to create an ‘Inspiration guide’ to showcase innovative and economic attractive measures against flash floods. This should create more awareness and indicate concrete solutions for all stakeholders in a pilot area. Together with a simple “kitchen table” poster(s) for dialogue\, the Inspiration Guide should contribute to the innovative Integrated Water Resource Management Plan for the pilot area. \nPoster Team 2 \n[vc_single_image image=”58778″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Virtual Water flows between Romania and Hungary\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nIs it possible to use water in places where you are not present at that moment? Yes\, it is! When we consume a product that was produced in a different country or place\, we also virtually consume the water used to produce it. This is what we call ’embedded’ or ‘virtual’ water. When products are traded across the globe\, there is also a trade in virtual water taking place. The Water Footprint\, a method that determines the freshwater use in production processes\, is an excellent tool to provide insights in the virtual water flows between continents\, countries and/or river basins. How can we use the virtual water flow between Romania and Hungary for improving the sustainable freshwater management in both countries? \nPoster Team 3 \n[vc_single_image image=”58775″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55394″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52431″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52434″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52433″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54957″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57644″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53102″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in Romania\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]
