Preventive measures against spreading the coronavirus

The Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) is complying with the advice and regulations issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) regarding the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19). We will continue our work for and with the Dutch water sector as far as the effects of the spread of the coronavirus allow.

At NWP, our main interest is the well-being of our network – colleagues, members, partner institutions and the broad water sector.

NWP staff is working from home and is using online meeting facilities to continue connecting with our members and other stakeholders. Only in exceptional circumstances will staff work from the office. The office itself has limited opening hours. In taking these measures, NWP is ensuring the safety of its staff and stakeholders. Please feel free to reach out with questions. Our staff members’ contact details are available here.

Until further notice, all NWP planned meetings and events will be carried out online and related updates will be published in the event calendar. If you have recently registered for an NWP activity, the colleague organising this activity will duly inform you of any changes. For more information on NWP events, please visit our event calendar.
