The Horizon Europe project BOOST-IN has officially opened enrollment for its Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), titled “Towards a Circular Water Future.” This free educational resource is designed to empower professionals and stakeholders across Europe to implement and scale sustainable water management practices.

As climate change and resource depletion put unprecedented pressure on European water systems, the transition from linear to circular water management has become a strategic priority. The BOOST-IN MOOC provides a comprehensive roadmap for this transition, offering participants a deep dive into the technical, economic, and social dimensions of water circularity.

Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Implementation
Developed by a consortium of leading experts and practitioners, the course goes beyond theory to focus on actionable knowledge. Participants will explore:

  • Core Principles: Understanding the shift toward ca circular water economy.
  • Innovative Technologies: A look at the latest advancements in water reuse and resource recovery.
  • Governance & Economics: Navigating policy frameworks, business models, and the vital role of social acceptance.
  • Practical Case Studies: Learning from real-world applications and demonstration sites.

Expert-Led Training
The course features insights from high-level specialists across the BOOST-IN partnership, including representatives from BIOAZUL, the University of Bologna, Ecofilae, AGENSO, the Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Isle Utilities, and Fresh Thoughts Consulting.

“Our goal is to provide the sector with the necessary skills to turn circular water concepts into reality,” says Ángela Magno Malagón, BOOST-IN Coordinator. “By sharing expertise from across the project, we are fostering a community of practice that can drive the European green transition forward.”
