This is achieved by ensuring that the right information gets to the right people in the right way at the right time. The programme offers three types of projects that address research gaps for CREW’s ten requesting organisations, these projects are delivered by Higher Education Institutes.

The CREW team attended the Research Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services Division of Scottish Government (RESAS) Science, Evidence, and Policy Conference held at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on 18 May 2023.

The conference brought together stakeholders from across the rural and environmental research and policy landscapes in Scotland.

At World Water Day this year (22^nd March 2023), the Hydro Nation Energy Innovation Programme (HNEIP) officially launched. Check out the World Water Day video here: https://youtu.be/v8dFM7-ZQhc

World Water Day – Edinburgh 22 March 2023

On World Water Day Scotland joined the global water community on March 22^nd World Water Day with a hybrid event on the theme of ‘Accelerating Change through Partnerships and Cooperation.

In September 2022, CREW attended the Leading Ideas Hub at The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, a two-day event organised by SEFARI Gateway. The event brought together a range of professionals to share ideas and advice on best knowledge exchange practice. It was a great opportunity to meet other scientists, policy advisors and stakeholders to explore methods, best practice and innovation in knowledge exchange.

On World Water Day 2023, CREW opened its Register of Expertise for those working in the water sector. Funded by RESAS, Scottish Government, this digital platform will be a valuable tool to access knowledge on ‘who does what’, connecting opportunities for research and innovation with capability and building a network of expertise from academia, industry, regulation and policy.

One week to go until World Water Day 2023 on 22^nd March. Scotland joins the global water community with a hybrid event on the theme of ‘Accelerating Change through Partnerships and Cooperation’.

This conference aims to explore emerging trends and opportunities for water to act as a catalyst for accelerating change.

The Hydro Nation Energy Innovation Programme provides knowledge exchange to support low carbon Research and Innovation with Scottish Companies in the water industry.

The Scottish Government Hydro Nation Strategy is committed to making Scotland a 'Hydro Nation' where water resources are developed to bring the maximum benefit to the Scottish economy.
