The 36th SuSanA Meeting took place on Saturday, 22 August (09:00–17:00 CEST), as a pre-event to Stockholm World Water Week. The Secretariat organised the event, kindly hosted by SEI, with valuable support and contributions from SuSanA partners, members, working groups, regional chapters, and other active community members.

Held in a hybrid format, the meeting created space for both in-person and online participants to connect, exchange ideas, and share knowledge. Discussions focused on the thematic priorities identified during the previous SuSanA Meeting, fostering dialogue and collaboration across the network.
