Consortium

CETAQUA, Water Technology Center, is the result of a unique public-private collaboration model created in 2007 by Aigües de Barcelona, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of the water cycle, considering the territorial needs. This model has established itself as a benchmark in the application of scientific knowledge to water and the environment with the creation of R+D+i solutions for the benefit of society. The model has subsequently been applied in other Cetaqua centers, which are independent of each other but share strategy and work in collaboration.
