Aalborg University (AAU)'s Smart Water Infrastructure Lab (Swift) has received a new grant from the Foundation to support research leading to robust design and optimized water infrastructure solutions, including development of new technologies to secure infrastructures.
Smart Water Infrastructure Lab is a world-class water infrastructure laboratory, creating a platform for even better research within its area and rethinking the interfaces between automation and data through models and algorithms.
"With this new grant, we can add a practical dimension to our theoretical models"

The new project adds a socio-technical layer thourgh collaborating with anthropologists who will contribute with their expertise in optimizing the water systems to match the expectations from professionals and users/consumers of the water supply systems.
"Creating intelligent systems is not enough. It has to be easy to manage and adjust the system."
Professor Rafal Wisniewski, AAU
