Viewpoints: Creating the ULTIMATE Young Professional program

“ULTIMATE Young Professional program launched to drive knowledge sharing and support career growth. New network to help unite and support young professionals in water research. Group to propose innovative actions towards the circular and digital transformation of the water sector.
A new network has been created to unite young water professionals across Europe. Called the ULTIMATE Young Professional (UYP) platform, the network has been created as part of the four-year, Horizon2020 ULTIMATE project (indUstry water-utiLiTy symbIosis for a sMarter wATEr society). In total, the project has selected nine large-scale demonstrations (demo sites) across Europe from the agro-food, beverage, petrochemical and biotech sectors. From water utilities to whisky distilleries, the partners represent a variety of stakeholders who could benefit from circular economy activities. Nearly 20 young professionals from the partners have joined together in regular workshops, meetings and informal events. They range from policy, consultancy, academia, research institutes and utilities across Europe. What do the UYP participants hope to achieve through the collaboration? Find some reactions here!”
