Building skills and innovation for a water-resilient Europe!
On 21 September 2026, Hernán Ruiz, representing Research - École des Ponts Business School, attended the launch of the European Water Academy in Brussels, a European Commission flagship initiative under the European Water Resilience Strategy.
Led by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), the Academy aims to strengthen the knowledge, skills and innovation capacities needed to address Europe's growing water challenges.
The launch brought together representatives from European institutions, academia, industry, and the water sector to discuss how education, technological innovation, and cross-sector collaboration can contribute to a more water-resilient Europe.
The discussions highlighted the importance of connecting research, education and practical solutions to equip professionals and organisations with the competences needed for a sustainable future.
At Research - École des Ponts Business School, we recognise the essential role of interdisciplinary education, capacity building and innovation in advancing Europe's green transition. Initiatives such as the European Water Academy reinforce the importance of connecting knowledge with action to address complex sustainability challenges.
