Water and soil are given a voice: the leading role of the water board

Networking event

Date:  

Time:   -

Location: WEC, Havenweg 6, Lauwersoog

Over the past year, the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority conducted its own research into how we can give water and soil a voice. We already knew that we would need to collaborate with our partners to achieve this. We now have a much better understanding of how we want to shape sustainable collaboration so that water and soil can truly play a guiding role.

Keynote

During this networking event at the brand-new WEC (Wadden Sea World Heritage Center) in Lauwersoog, we will reflect on changing work in a rapidly changing environment. After all, we heard a lot about the expectations surrounding the water board's new leading role in giving a voice to water and soil. As the basis for everything else.

When are you taking the lead? What else should the water board be able to do and actually do? How will we notice this? We discovered six building blocks for sharing responsibility for water and soil. And for working together extensively in this area.

Dr. Margo van den Brink is affiliated with the Faculty of Spatial Sciences at the University of Groningen. She has a preference for implementing organizations that work at the intersection of water management and spatial development and researches the transition of these indispensable organizations, including the water boards. She is our keynote speaker and will reflect on our research during this evening. 

You are most welcome!
