WE was established by the European Commission as a European Technology Platform.”

“WE is guided in all its activities by its Water Vision, with the ultimate ambition of achieving a Water-Smart Society, in which: • the value of water is recognised and realised to ensure water security, sustainability, and resilience. • all available water sources are managed so that water scarcity and pollution are avoided. • water and resource loops are largely closed to foster a circular economy and optimal resource efficiency. • the water system is resilient against the impact of climate and demographic change. • all relevant stakeholders are engaged in guaranteeing sustainable water governance.”
