Kick-off for the TRUST project

The EU 7F-P funded project TRUST - Transitions to the Urban Water Services of Tomorrow, with 31 R&D and industry partners from 11 countries, including several SMEs, had its kick-off meeting in Mulheim An Der Ruhr (Germany), May 10-11. Over a period of 4 years, the project will deliver research-driven innovations in governance, modelling concepts, technologies, decision support tools, and novel approaches to integrated water, energy, and infrastructure asset management.

A significant part of the project is the continued development of methods and tools that continue the AWARE-P effort, namely through TRUST's Work Area 5. This will lead to improvement and extension of the current tools and software, and will thus grant continued investment in the AWARE-P effort. More information about TRUST at www.trust-i.net
