Call for proposals: Impact Innovation: Collaboration for Sustainable Water for All within the Water Wise Societies 2024 program
Contact person: Anna-Karin Bergman
Purpose and objectives
The aim of the project is to explore how we can practically implement water system transitions in urban development. We do this by focusing on three levers identified in the “water system”: 1. Establishing a strong and broad innovation ecosystem 2. Appropriate system demonstrators and urban testbeds 3. New organizational forms Objective: sound basis to enable a concrete vision for step 2 of “One water”, ready to start implementation within one year.
Expected impacts and results
An in-depth analysis of the selected challenge and its impact on the transition towards the WWS milestones. A system analysis identifying opportunities and barriers for the transition. Future scenarios describing the desired state and how our three levers contribute to it. A mapping and establishment of a catalyst network. A detailed proposal for next steps, including solutions, system demonstrators, and organisational arrangements. A final report including recommendations for future work.
Planned approach and implementation
To achieve the objective, the project will carry out the following activities: 1) In-depth challenge analysis and innovation ecosystem (Work packages 1, 3 and 5) 2) Mapping of actors and development of catalyst networks (Work package 2) 3) Identification of system changes and new organizational forms (Work packages 1 and 4) 4) Development of vision and future visions (Work Package 5).
