As the AquaSPICE project reaches its conclusion, we are proud to share an exclusive interview with Thomas Wintgens (RWTH Aachen University) and George Arampatzis (Technical University of Crete). These project leaders reflect on the journey, key milestones, and the legacy of AquaSPICE in advancing sustainable water management.
The interview explores:
- The most significant achievements of AquaSPICE, including innovations in reducing freshwater intake through circular water reuse.
- How the project’s outputs will shape future research, policy, and industrial processes.
- Key messages and lessons for long-term sustainability.
This conversation follows the AquaSPICE Final Conference in Brussels, where the project’s results were presented to stakeholders, highlighting real-world innovations in industrial water reuse. The event also marked the release of the AquaSPICE Policy Brief, emphasizing recommendations for holistic decision-making, digital monitoring, and data interoperability to support the circular economy.
