The Arise project group, in co-operation with the Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband (OOWV), also started at the University of Oldenburg in April. While the project group is currently very busy with the objectives and the early, internal, organisational definition, a first meeting with supervisors of the OOWV in Oldenburg has already taken place. The aim of this and the next meetings will be to agree on a goal to which all participants can orientate themselves.
