Our Belgian case study leader, Vlaamse Instelling voor Technologisch Onderzoek (VITO) was more than happy to kick off its activities, with a first workshop!
Local employers, local government officials linked to the WEFE (Water-Food-Energy-Food-Ecosystems) sector as well as local farmers were invited to participate in the workshop, which took place on February 29, 2024.
The aim of the event was to share knowledge and first lessons learned through an information session followed by a visit of the Water Experience Container. The container is an initiative under the Blue Deal project Vlaanderen WaterProof, conducted by VITO on behalf of the Flemish government.
Four virtual characters – a climate project advisor, a farmer, a sustainability manager, and a green service employee – lead visitors through a realistic audio narrative about water gains. Interactive installations provide visitors with a clear understanding of practical, effective interventions for water-sustainable business sites.
