UNESCO Chair in Water Conflict Management – Hungary
Source to Sea: Bartók 3.0 bridges freshwater and ocean systems through science, culture, and ethical digital innovation.
Anchored at the UNESCO Chair on Water Conflict Management and the Hungarian National Commission for UNESCO, with partners across Europe, Asia, and Africa, it applies the Bartók 3.0 methodology (analogue grounding, ethical digital integration, human–machine co-fluency) to create culturally grounded digital twins, foresight labs, and source-to-sea models.
Seven pilots span the Danube–Black Sea, Baltic–Livonian, Adriatic–Slovenian, Eastern Africa–Nubian, Chinese Yellow River–coastal heritage, Bay of Bengal–Indian, and Nile–Mediterranean–Egyptian Anchors.
Partners include the Livonian Institute, Alma Mater Europaea, EASA, Fraunhofer, GERICS, SCUT Guangzhou, NPU Xi’an, Henan University, Grameen Services, Elgon Centre, UNESCO Kenya Youth Forum, and EHRF. Together they strengthen resilience, safeguard heritage, and connect communities from source to sea.
