On 17 September 2026, the next edition of the Twentse Golf Watercreathon will take place. While no fewer than 150 students from Saxion University of Applied Sciences and the University of Twente spend an entire day developing innovative solutions for current water challenges, a side programme will be organised in the afternoon for professionals, policymakers, companies, researchers, and other interested parties.
A key part of this side programme is the so-called Walk on Water: an inspiring walk along innovative water projects in and around the city centre of Enschede. Along the way, experts will explain first-hand how these projects contribute to solutions for challenges such as water nuisance, drought, climate adaptation, and creating a future-proof living environment.
Accompanied by experts, participants will visit, among other locations:
- Pathmos and the wadi systems
- Saxion’s Climate Square
- Volkspark
After the walk, participants will get an exclusive insight into the challenges the student teams have worked on throughout the day. Challenge owners will first present their water-related challenges, after which the day will conclude with the Watercreathon finale. During the Dragon’s Den, the student teams will pitch their ideas and solutions.
The afternoon will end with a networking reception for students, challenge owners, and participants of the side programme.
