SARASWATI 2.0 project is jointly funded by the #HorizonEurope and by the Department of Science and Technology/Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. The project aims to identify the best available and affordable technologies for decentralized wastewater treatment with a scope of resource/energy recovery and reuse in rural and urban areas of India. SARASWATI 2.0 is led by BOKU and has an international consortium of a total of 17 institutions of which 10 partners are from Europe and associated countries and 7 Indian partners are from higher education institutions and the public research sector.

The consortium meeting was organized by the project coordinator Markus Starkl from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences – BOKU, Prof. Makarand Ghangreka from the Indian Institute.
