AWARD
The project AWARD (Advanced Water Analytics for Research and Development) will address the following topics and develop solutions for the water industry in a research collaboration with the Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband (OOWV) until mid-2027: Methods of advanced water analytics and digital water management are to be tested and researched in the two core processes of customer management and maintenance, among others. The second phase of the research cooperation will continue with the further development of WISdoM OSS.
As an innovative water association, OOWV wants to actively exploit the opportunities offered by digitalization. To this end, the OOWV wants to receive further impetus from outside, but also set standards within the water industry itself. Successful formats from WISdoM 2.0, such as the project group, the business informatics internship and digitization workshops with young OOWV employees, will also continue in AWARD.
The close cooperation with the University of Oldenburg is intended to clarify which measures can be sensibly applied to the specific situation of the water industry to achieve a higher degree of digitalization. Systematization of data and information management, demand- and target-oriented development of digital skills and the establishment of innovation management were identified as important goals. The scientific findings on the development and implementation of the above-mentioned fields of action are to be pursued in specific projects at OOWV following the cooperation.
