 AQUANET: the network of experts is born
FEMTEC participates in this European initiative
The AQUANET initiative, legacy of the Portuguese EU presidency semester, aims to develop an European Mineral Water Research, Innovation and Valorisation Network of experts and enterprises interested in the development of common R&D projects supported by the European Commission. It is focused on triggering and conducting top level research, innovation, knowledge and technology transfer on mineral water and the directly inherent scopes.
The official AQUANET Manifesto, presented at the AQUAFORUM event (18-19th June 2021, Chaves - Portugal) was signed by representatives of FEMTEC and other major hydrology organizations.
AQUANET is committed to implementing cutting-edge scientific research to be internationally recognized as a network of experts on mineral water with a powerful and cooperative ability to foster innovation and to develop novel solutions.
It will develop both theoretical and practical research activities and will establish thematic partnerships to apply for funding, to solve specific issues, and to idealize potential future usages of mineral water by combining a multidisciplinary group of members, from Thermal SPAs and Associations, to Research & Innovation Centres, to Natural Mineral Water Companies, to Medical Hydrology Societies, to Geothermal Energy Companies and to Digital Transformation Consulting Agencies.
The AQUAFORUM event
Despite the importance and relevance of mineral water there is still a lack of knowledge on its potential merge with existing health, wellness, geothermal and regional development activities. Hence, AQUAFORUM objective was deepening existing scientific and technical knowledge on mineral water and as a vehicle for the the establishment of new partnerships that might lead to new applications and uses for the referred natural asset in different markets, thus leveraging the regional and national European economies.
Two Portuguese Ministers were present at this event, Manuel Heitor, Minister for Science, Technology and Higher Education, and Ana Abrunhosa Ministra da Coesão Territorial.
The AQUAFORUM event also included a round table on the problem of harmonization of thermal skills and the course of study in Europe, whose video recording is visible on Youtube.
At the end of the event, the Secretary of State for the Development of the Inland Improvement, Isabel Ferreira, awarded an honorable mention for the 100 years of ISMH to Professor Pedro Cantista, President of ISMH and Femtec Councellor.
