Project description
The project "Disseminating Smart Water Competence" was implemented to support the lifelong learning sector in Belarus. The project utilized the existing "Baltic Smart Water Hub" portal accumulating cases relevant for the particular geographical area. The cases were translated to Russian language and a publication was prepared to improve knowledge transfer of smart solutions to Belarus. Reaching with these cases to the Belarusian water experts ensured innovative character of good practices transmitted to the national water sector through academia and wastewater treatment operators of the project partnership.

Project information
Disseminating lifelong learning to the water sector in Belarus.
Professional training and lifelong learning are crucial for the whole water sector of the Baltic Sea Region. However, the level of development and performance of this sector varies significantly between the countries around the Baltic Sea and in its catchment area. The Belarusian water and wastewater treatment sector was seen as a target to focus activities on knowledge transfer of smart solutions existing in the region to ensure the innovative character of good practices transmitted to the national water sector.
