The 2021 Bratislava Conference on Earth System Governance (7¨C9 September 2021) brings together the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change.

On 7 September at 14:30 ¨C 16:00 (CEST), the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-FLORES) and the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-IAS) will co-convene an innovative session ¡°Knowledge Faces Practice: Societal Challenges and Barriers to Overcome to Enhance Water Reuse Adaptation in a Circular Economy¡±. 

The event will explore pathways to strengthen public-private partnerships in promoting the circular economy. In the session, the interlinkages between industry, water utilities, and the agro-industry will be identified, and innovative strategies on how to incorporate them into smart water management principles will be investigated as a road to the transition of society into a more circular economy for optimal water use.

The session will also be a step to address the ¡®Anthropocene gap¡¯ by pointing to the inability of current governance structures to contend with emerging trends in water reuse.

The discussion will bring a dynamic perspective to comparative problems and patterns of wastewater management and highlight the importance of the co-construction of a system with well-designed PPP frameworks.

Dr Serena Caucci will deliver a keynote speech on the ¡°Policy and Institutional Aspects of Water Reuse Management¡±.
