Project Objectives

The project “Creating Interfaces” addresses capacity building for the urban food-water-energy (FWE) nexus, making the FWE linkages understandable to the stakeholders (city government, science, business and citizens), and facilitating cooperation and knowledge exchange among them.
It will develop and test innovative approaches for local knowledge co-creation and participation through Urban Living Labs and Citizen Science approaches in three mid-size cities on a water front: Tulcea (Romania), Wilmington (USA) and Slupsk (Poland).
