Paving the Waves: The 2nd World Conference on Floating Solutions has been an enormous success.

Last week the first international and first digital meeting of the Thinktank of Governance of Floating Cities of the BlueRevolution Foundation!

The Thinktank Governance of floating cities consists of an interdisciplinary group of leading experts brought together by the Stichting Blue Revolution Foundation. The main objective of the Thinktank is to build insights related to the necessary governance and societal implementation mechanisms to realize floating cities. The contribution of the Thinktank mainly consists of a reflection on the social, legal and administrative feasibility of floating developments, the assessment of the social relevance of research questions of floating projects and the exploration of the potential of large-scale social and scientific breakthroughs. Last week experts from the Netherlands, US and Panama joined the digital meeting to engage in the discussion of the future of humanity on the water.
