TRAINING
SUWANU EUROPE is honoured to announce the first on-line course on water reuse. Hereby, we provide you with unique training material on the use of reclaimed water in agriculture. The course includes relevant knowledge, experiences and technologies through our most relevant results: the info-packages and the e-learning platform.
Info-packages and Fact-sheets
One of the goals of SUWANU EUROPE is the transfer of practical knowledge on water reuse to different target groups. Responsible water reuse requires that all actors involved are acquired with the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out their tasks and roles in a way that the use of reclaimed water does not imply a risk for human health and/or the environment.
The consortium of SUWANU EUROPE have worked in the compilation of all this knowledge into factsheets grouped by different topics identified by our consortium as relevant “knowledge assets” for the safe use of reclaimed water in agriculture.
In this section, the factsheets are shown through 6 different info-packages (IP) each of them oriented to satisfy the knowledge needs of the different target groups of actors identified in SUWANU EUROPE project, namely farmers, agricultural advisory groups, water reclamation operators, water engineers, authorities, consumers and general public.
These fact-sheets (FS) are a short summary of findings and insights from practical solutions, research projects and success stories focused on reclaimed water in agriculture. They are intended to facilitate their use as training material in conferences and workshops. The contents enable the user to further search on the topics described. Further readings recommendations and references are provided in each fact sheet with that purpose.

E-learning platform
This section is designed to publish Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and training related to wastewater and water treatment and reuse in agriculture that may interest you.
SUWANU EUROPE seeks to understand the knowledge and innovation processes related to the introduction of new solutions in the agricultural sector and the role of agricultural advisory services. SUWANU EUROPE as a thematic network focus on summarising, sharing and presenting the best practices and research findings that are near close to being put into practice, but not sufficiently known or used by practitioners.
The consortium will design different online courses to bridge the gap on water reuse practical knowledge identified for each relevant stakeholder. The aim of these courses is to fix and maintain for long time the practical knowledge acquired through SUWANU EUROPE project and educate farmers and foresters in this area. The water treatment training courses will be mainly consist of audio-visual material (i.e. master class videos) based on practical knowledge identified and structured during the project.
They will be divided in different modules oriented to:
- Water technology developers.
- Agricultural practitioners and food industry.
- Public authorities on strategic planning for water reuse implementation.
- Consumers and general public.
The water treatment training and courses online will be available in the languages of the target countries: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Flemish, German, Bulgarian and Greek.
