Building on the successful stakeholder engagement work done in Kalundborg as part of the ULTIMATE project, the first Community of Practice meeting was organised within the context of the RECREATE project. Stakeholders from the food/biotech and pharmaceutical industries, the water sector and utilities, as well as public authorities were engaged to share the results from the nine ULTIMATE case studies on the latest developments in circular economy technologies and concepts, present RECREATE and discuss the climate change impact modelling that will characterise the future climatic and environmental conditions in Kalundborg and, based on this, different water management strategies that could be developed, modelled and compared.
