WATERLINE aims to create a European Digital Water Higher Education Institution (HEI) Alliance, based on the quadruple helix model of innovation, leading to the development of the Alliance’s research, educational and entrepreneurship capacities. This shall leverage the individual, institutional and regional resources required for a transformative structural and sustainable learning and innovation environment. To achieve this, WATERLINE has five specific objectives: (1) support consolidation of the Alliance by co-creating a common governance framework, and a Research & Innovation (R&I) capacity building plan; (2) co-create a portfolio of water components for Master level and transform emulative laboratories in partner Widening HEIs into assisted and virtual reality. These structural changes will lead to transformed and more competitive R&I HEIs; (3) strengthen WATERLINE researchers’ R&I capacity excellence by implementing activities, such as summer schools to enhance education and R&I skills, and proposal writing workshop; (4) build a European network of academics/researchers who, together with quadruple helix actors, will allow knowledge flow in water domains and extended reality technologies. This allows greater involvement of regional actors in the R&I process and enhances one of the major societal challenges: water-related education. Moreover, it will strengthen academic and business links through academia-tobusiness meetings and a hackathon to mainstream entrepreneurship mindsets. WATERLINE will, finally, (5) sustain the alliance by, (i) establishing ambassador networks, (ii) identifying the R&I funding landscape, thus increasing participation in HE and the mobilisation of resources in the water sphere, and (iii) creating synergies with EU initiatives, institutions, other projects and networks.

WATERLINE旨在建立一个基于创新四螺旋模型的欧洲数字水高等教育机构（HEI）联盟，从而促进联盟的研究、教育和创业能力的发展。这将充分利用个人、机构和区域资源，为变革的结构和可持续的学习和创新环境提供必要的资源。为了实现这一目标，WATERLINE有五个具体目标：(1)通过共同创建一个共同的治理框架和研究与创新（R&I）能力建设计划来支持联盟的巩固；(2)共同创建硕士级别的水组件组合，并将合作伙伴扩大高等学校的竞争性实验室转变为辅助和虚拟现实。这些结构上的改变将会使研究与研究高等教育机构转型，更具竞争力；(3)通过举办暑期学校、提案写作工作坊等活动，加强WATERLINE研究人员卓越的R&I能力；(4)建立一个欧洲学者/研究人员网络，与四螺旋参与者一起，将允许知识在水领域和扩展现实技术中流动。这使得区域行动者更多地参与R&I进程，并加强了一项主要的社会挑战：与水有关的教育。此外，它还将通过学术界与商界的会议和主流创业思维的黑客马拉松来加强学术和商业联系。最后，WATERLINE将(5)通过以下方式维持联盟：(i)建立大使网络；（ii）确定R&I资金格局，从而增加HE的参与和水圈资源的调动；（iii）与欧盟倡议、机构、其他项目和网络建立协同效应。
