MUSTBE

MUSTBE Event for Smart Nature-Based Stormwater Solutions in Riga 16.10.

The Interreg MUSTBE project aims to improve the Baltic Sea’s condition by developing innovative stormwater management systems that combine nature-based and digital solutions for effective treatment and monitoring. With seven pilot sites across four countries, cross-border cooperation drives technological innovation and facilitates international replication.

In October, those interested in the topic will have the chance to learn what has been done at the seven pilot sites within the MUSTBE project so far and what the next steps are.

The event is free of charge but requires pre-registration.
