Is the UK water industry prepared to tackle the challenges of the future?

摘要

In 2017, the UK Water Partnership commissioned Mott MacDonald to undertake the Linking Innovation to Societal Needs (LITSoN) project. UKWP's vision is 'safeguarding our future through innovation', creating national partnerships between the UK Government, business and the research community. LITSoN is intended to accelerate innovation and improve collaboration to tackle water challenges and also to provide a platform to promote UK water services globally. The LITSoN project sought to provide an overview of research and innovation activity in the UK water sector and an assessment of its alignment with societal needs. The aim was to identify opportunities through sharing information that could help strengthen collaboration, focus efforts and target funding.
