Aside from the scientific outputs, the project  generated the basis for the organization of this conference in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The conference focused on the implementation of innovation for sustainability in the water sector and was the first international event in Ecuador where water professionals of the region interacted with the academic, NGOs, private and public sectors. The organization of the conference gave way to the start-up of the IWA national chapter and Young Water Professionals in Ecuador. The project was also the basis to synergistic projects such as Watermas, an ERASMUS+ EU-project on introducing water and climate change issues in academic curricula, and the VLIR-UOS NSS project on the development of E-learning tools for water resources management.
