REWAISE is structured as nine living labs grouped into three main European hubs according to hydrological resources, needs and also geography and climate in order to demonstrate in real life, large scale operational environment the technological innovations to extract the value in, from and through water, contributing to a secure smart water supply for the European society. The three main regions selected are:
- MEDITERRANEAN: (Levante, Salamanca, Extremadura)
- ATLANTIC: (Galicia, Midlands, Northern Cantabria/Asturias – region)
- CONTINENTAL: (Poznan, Ostrava, Skaane)
- Different water sources: surface, rain, ground, sea, brackish water and municipal and industrial wastewater streams
- Various water users: urban, rural, industrial, and agricultural
- Different raw materials, nutrients, bioproducts and bioenergy recovery.
- Five main governance models: Public Company, Delegated Public Management, Direct Private Management, Delegated Private Operation and Concession.
- Water-smart society: establishing a common framework of digital innovations to support alternative water management
- New business models: REWAISE will create new market niches for alternative products obtained in the project and also attract investors to the innovative processes and services in water-smart activities
- New governance methods: the project will redefine the governance models and provide recommendations that can remove unnecessary legal barriers to innovation in Europe
- Social engagement: REWAISE’s nine Living Labs are based on an understanding of their social context toward water-smart communities

LIVING LAB METHODOLOGY AND ONLINE HANDBOOK
The REWAISE Living Labs target to demonstrate in real-life, large scale operational environment the technological innovations to extract the value in, from and through water, contributing to a secure smart water supply for the European society.
The REWAISE Living Lab methodology and online handbook first edition aims to provide the core theoretical background on the value of Living Labs and offer hands on guidelines on setting up and running efficiently Living Lab constellations. This online handbook reveals information about the value of Living Labs; the basics of setting up a Living Lab; the importance of real-life experiments in Living Labs and suggests some tips and suggestions for building Living Labs. The next edition will equally include practical case studies and the suggested development map of REWAISE Living Labs.Project Brochure PDF
