Lifelong Learning and Wastewater Treatment in the Baltic Sea Region : Capacity Development Opportunities Observed in the IWAMA Project (2016-2019). State of the Art in the Wastewater Treatment Education in the Baltic Region

Abstract

The present publication introduces Lifelong Learning and Wastewater Treatment in the Baltic Sea Region and the State of the Art in the Wastewater Treatment Education in the Baltic Region reports that are made during the partly EU funded Interactive Water Management (IWAMA) project (2016-2019; Interreg Baltic Sea Region program). Both reports promote and further develop the lifelong learning opportunities in the Baltic WWTP operators and enhance the knowledge of the training institutions responsible for the training in the WWT sector. The reports encourage WWT sector education cooperation and synergies in the Baltic region.

IWAMA project aims at improving wastewater management in the Baltic Sea Region by developing the capacity of the wastewater treatment operators and implementing pilot investments to increase the energy efficiency and advance the sludge handling. The project is funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme 2014–2020.
