The European Water Academy Café Series is an informal online discussion space that brings together people from across Europe’s water community to exchange ideas, experiences, and practical lessons on skills development for water-related challenges in a simple, open way. Building on the European Water Academy Town Halls held in March and April 2026, the series continues the conversation through short, interactive sessions that support collaboration, learning, and Europe’s water resilience goals.

The Café Series welcomes contributions from across the water community, sharing experiences and lessons learned in skills development, exploring how the European Water Academy can build on these insights, and introducing new concepts and ideas for the future.

Each session features a speaker sharing key insights, followed by discussion with participants in a fixed 30-minute format: 5-minute introduction, 10-minute presentation, 10-minute discussion and Q&A, and 5-minute wrap-up.

🕒 All sessions take place on selected Wednesdays from 11:30 to 12:00 CET, unless otherwise stated.
