Day 1: Three Priorities, One Direction<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Case study leaders kicked off the day with quick-fire overviews of what was achieved in RP2 and what’s coming in RP3. The rest of the day was structured around the three key priorities that will define the project’s final push: translating modelling outputs into policy-relevant tools, scaling up training and outscaling activities, and deepening stakeholder engagement across all case studies. A “Lightning Round” closed the afternoon, with every Work Package and case study team outlining their next concrete steps, followed by a group discussion to align our collective efforts heading into RP3.<\/p>\n

Day 2: Into the Field<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The second day took partners out of the conference room and into the heart of the Slovak agricultural landscape. We visited BONUM in Dunajsk\u00e1 Lu\u017en\u00e1 and an irrigation and potato processing facility in Kr\u00e1\u013eov\u00e1 pri Senci, a grounding reminder of the real-world water challenges that RETOUCH NEXUS is working to address.<\/p>\n

The Bratislava General Assembly reinforced our shared commitment to delivering integrated, impactful results before the project closes. From governance frameworks and modelling tools to stakeholder toolkits, the final stretch is taking shape. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
