From April 17 to 18, 2023, the research partners of ZuWaKo gathered in Stuttgart at ZIRIUS. For two days, nine scientists from Freiberg, Jülich and Stuttgart discussed the status of the project and the next steps both in person and in part digitally. In addition to the report from the three modules, the project integration was the main focus. Here, the method CIB to develop a serious game plays a central role, but also a joint definition of water conflicts, shared basic assumptions and similar expectations about future developments as a setting for the game, the so-called framework conditions, which can influence water conflicts in Germany.
