ReNEW: Resilience-centric Smart, Green, Networked EU Inland Waterways
As climate change severely affects the performance of Inland Waterways Transport (IWT) operations, the priority is to create and test new solutions for climate-neutral and climate-resilient IWT.
By capitalising on cooperation opportunities with ongoing projects and initiatives, the 3-year-long EU-fundedReNEW project plays a key role in promoting economic growth and minimising the negative impact on the environment and degradation of ecosystems.
With 24 partners from 11 countries, ReNEW will deliver:
An interdisciplinary IWT Resilience and Sustainability decision-support framework
Targeted innovative infrastructure resilience and sustainability solutions
A Green Resilient IWT Dataspace and generic Digital Twin
Four real-life Living Labs, including Ghent and Douro waterways
The four Living Labs (LLs) are focused on complementary aspects of Green Resilient IWT, ensuring the required interrelations towards achieving innovation synergies and creating a comprehensive contextual approach towards a resilient and thriving IWT future.
