DIWA – Digital Waters Flagship Programme

Digital Waters (DIWA) Flagship includes six partners: University of Oulu (director: Prof. Björn Klöve), University of Turku (vice-director: Prof. Petteri Alho), Aalto University (PI: Eliisa Lotsari), Finnish Geospatial Institute/National Land Survey of Finland (PI: Harri Kaartinen), Finnish Environment Institute (PI: Cintia Uvo), Finnish Meteorological Institute (PI: Anna Kontu). 

DIWA aims to become a top-tier water research cluster and innovation ecosystem that facilitates the next industrial water revolution by generating cutting-edge research approaches and outputs as well as having a direct societal impact and business impact. DIWA forms, facilitates and fosters a new generation of water actors across academia, businesses and public sector. DIWA enables a transition towards the digital representation of real-world water systems (Digital Twin) to reproduce hydrological storages, their states, fluxes and processes, as well as ecosystem responses with novel options for improved analysis, planning and governance. DIWA solutions are urgently needed as water is a critical natural resource globally, nurturing a diversity of social and economic activities and having a multi-billion business potential.
