It is the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. The area also contains other functions like living areas\, tourist destination and fishing. The current ferry transportation is considered as unsustainable and fossil fuel driven plus there is an ecological impact on the seabed due to dredging. Sustainable mobility and transportation in this shallow tidal system is necessary to create and keep a habitable environment\, a sustainable economy on the islands and a resilient ecology in the Wadden Sea. An inventory to worldwide examples has been executed\, now it is up to the Wetskills team on how some parts of these inspiring example(s) can help us design an ultimate sustainable mobility concept(s) for the Dutch Wadden Sea and Islands to inspire further transition! \nCase 2: Don’t let it go! Retaining water in sloping sandy areas\nCase owner: Wetterskip Fryslan \nThe Province of Friesland is used to draining water to the sea. Due to the recent dry years\, it turns out that the sloping sandy areas in the South East drain to fast and have troubles in retaining the water. That is why Wetterskip Fryslan\, four municipalities\, the Province and the national government have made a deal: ‘Regiodeal South East Friesland’. They will invest in measures to help slowing down the water and help it infiltrate to build up a reserve in the groundwater. How can this coalition find applicable and effective solutions for retaining water in this area\, being technical\, infrastructural\, ecological or maybe even social? \nCase 3: The Tourist as Co-creator for accelerating sustainable freshwater use\nCase owner: Province of Fryslân \nIslands in the Wadden Sea have a restricted amount of freshwater availability\, due to saline boundaries of the sea. Islanders are used to utilising this water in a self-sufficient way for generations. Due to extensive tourism\, more resources from the islands are being exploited and more products from the mainland are being requested. As ‘money spender’ or ‘income bringer’ the tourist plays a large role in the choice and number of products\, manufactured locally and/or sustainably with less water. How can the islands activate tourists becoming the co-creator and do-er for new ways of water conservation (also in an inspiring and fun way)? \nPitch & Poster\n[vc_single_image image=”57846″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster\n[vc_single_image image=”57847″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster\n\n[vc_single_image image=”57848″ img_size=”full” 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=”54075″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53767″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54085″ 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_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57352″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57353″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57662″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53766″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56621″ 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=””]Previous Wetskills events in The Netherlands\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”51642\,2384\,2371\,2367\,2327″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

To provide a playing ground for innovations in the field of sustainable and clever use of energy and resources\, LabVlieland was created. Their current quest is for an out-of-the box design of an advanced\, mobile\, integrated Shelter system – AMIES in short. Think a self-sustainable\, closed-loop resource building\, built on industrial ecology principles with the latest circular technologies that can be readily deployed where needed. \nCase 2: Self-supportive cities and islands on water & energy \nCase owner: Waternet & Province of Fryslân \nWaternet wants to increase the pace of improving sustainability in the Dutchcapital. The goal for 2020 is being climate neutral concerning CO2. If we want to have a 100% sustainable energy supply\, we have to look for other sustainable energy sources in the near future. How can water contribute to this transition? And how can we learn from self sufficient islands\, considering a city as an island? A previous Wetskills team in South Korea came up with the ‘Water Wide Web’\, building an energy network where you can store energy on different levels close to households. Waternet wants the next team to work out this idea in more detail and come up with logical solutions we can really implement in the near future. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Wastewater reuse for agriculture \nCase owner: Water Application Center and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences \nIn the Netherlands\, almost all WWTP effluents are discharched onto surface water bodies like canals and rivers. As a result of climate change\, agriculture will be confronted more and more with yield losses due to drought. The use of alternative freshwater sources\, such as treated wastewater from industries and sewage treatment plants\, can reduce drought damage. One interesting opportunity may be to combine wastewater (post)treatment and agriculture (crops / biomass growth). Under what conditions and on which scale could the reuse of (treated) wastewater in agriculture be beneficial? \nCase 4: BioBizzHub for energizing start-ups to scale up their business  \nCase owner: Paques \nWaterCampus Leeuwarden is an important driver for new business in the water technology sector\, and has facilitated the start of many new companies in the past 15 years. A crucial step for these new companies is to “scale up” and “go to market”. The new BioBizzHub is set-up for this purpose. Here\, startups can benefit from dedicated test and office facilities and the engineering and market experience of Paques. How can BioBizzHub find and attract companies from outside the Netherlands to join this initiative and benefit from the BioBizzHub. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The Wetskills organization is looking for Case Owners; companies\, knowledge institutes and organisations that formulate their case and support this Wetskills programme and formulate a case.
