The implementation of the project “IDRON – Innovative Dual sustainable solutions for Rural water scarcity and use OptimizatioN” has officially begun.
The Kick-off Meeting took place on 10–11 November 2025 at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Patras, in Greece, gathering all project partners.
The second day a stakeholder exchange session took place, with presentations and discussions on best practices and strategic approaches to water management. Distinguished invited speakers included representatives from regional and national authorities, European organisations and NGOs.
IDRON combines innovative irrigation systems, smart monitoring technologies, and sustainable agricultural practices to optimise water use and strengthen the resilience of rural communities. By promoting climate adaptation, the project contributes to environmental sustainability, food security, and the EU’s climate resilience goals.
The Kick-off Meeting marked an important first step in building a strong collaborative framework for addressing water scarcity and developing sustainable, innovative solutions across the Mediterranean.
Through this first exchange among partners and stakeholders, the foundations were set for coordinated actions, knowledge sharing, and the co-design of tools and methodologies that will guide the project throughout its implementation.
