Researchers from universities, research centers, and companies met to exchange experiences and network with professionals from the world of water, taking up the philosophy of this event. Amongst the participants were the PROMICON partners Beatriz Altamira-Algarra, Eva González-Flo and Joan García from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia · BarcelonaTech (UPC).
