DIWA Ecosystem
DIWA develops an ecosystem that connects the best of Finnish water research, global scientific teams, and both municipal and private actors in the water industry.
We are looking for new collaborators to join our effort.
What is the DIWA Ecosystem?
Bringing together excellent research and water sector experience
The DIWA Ecosystem brings together the high-impact research and scientific knowledge of our university partners with the experience of public and private sectors.
We aim to foster multidisciplinary connections in the water sector and provide effective, high-tech solutions.
Our contributors gain interesting opportunities to use new innovations and participate in internships with future industry experts.
DIWA Partners
A multidisciplinary team of experts
DIWA Flagship includes experts from several Finnish universities and institutes: University of Oulu, University of Turku, Aalto University, Finnish Environment Institute (Syke), Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, and Finnish Meteorological Institute.
This team includes research that links climate, land use and water studies with advanced set-ups for observations and modelling. Together we wield multidisciplinary expertise in water, spatial information and information technology fields.
DIWA Collaborators
Cooperation with national and global actors
We aim to create connections with various stakeholders, including businesses, ministries, and local-level actors such as cities, municipalities, and citizens. The business sector involvement is carried out in collaboration with Finnish Water Forum and Oulu Water Ecosystem.
Our goal is to guide cutting-edge research in a solution-oriented and co-development perspective, enabling research to have a direct link to planning and decision-making. Based on this, we also aim to create new business both in Finland and internationally.
We are constantly seeking new members to join our growing ecosystem.
