At H2O People, we are deepening our commitment to a holistic approach to human development in the water and research & innovation sectors. By interlinking our flagship capacity-building programmes—European Junior Water Programme (EJWP), Blue Innovation Track (BIT), and tailor-made activities—with Societal Impact Actions, educational programmes, and Social Science and Humanities (SSH) integration and management in the R&I projects and in the rather technical field of water, we are creating a unified framework that empowers professionals and communities alike. This integrated strategy is designed to unlock the full potential of people working in water and beyond.

• New Adventures: The latest on the launch of the Foundation H2O People.
