The project team leader, I. Pociūnienė, and a representative of one of the project partners—Aldona Margerienė, an expert from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—shared their experience and gained new ideas during the joint LIFE Belini and LIFE Platform Meeting held in Brussels.
The meeting took place on 14–15 October. Ieva Pociūnienė, Head of the “LIFE SIP Water” project, participated in a joint LIFE Belini and LIFE Platform Meeting held in Brussels, entitled “LIFE Strategic Integrated Projects implementing River Basin Management Plan practices (with a focus on water resilience)”.
She was joined at the event by Aldona Margerienė, an expert from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), representing one of the project’s partners. Ms Margerienė took part in the “Governance” working group, where she presented Lithuania’s “LIFE SIP Water” project and its main objectives. Meanwhile, Ms Pociūnienė delivered a presentation to the “Finance” working group on one of the project tasks already implemented—the “Willingness to Pay” public survey, which assessed public readiness to contribute financially to improving and maintaining the quality status of the country’s surface waters.
The platform meeting provided participants with an opportunity to discuss challenges arising during project implementation and to exchange views on related policies and technical solutions. The event was coordinated by CINEA.
