WatEUr - Tackling EUropean Water Challenges

 

 

The Coordination and Support Action WatEUr of the Joint programming Initiative “Water challenges for a changing world” is funded by the European Commission in the frame of FP7 with the Grant agreement n. 322655.

WatEUr project prepares the successful development and implementation of the Water JPI. Its activities started on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December 2015. The project is composed of 6 workpackages which aim to ease the collaboration among all the organizations involved in the Water JPI and implement some joint calls and the mapping of the national and regional programmes and projects on water research and innovation. This exercise will help draft the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda on water priorities and reduce fragmentation of activities and investments in this sector.

WatEUr will also contribute to establish agreements and collaboration on water research with countries outside Europe and increase the citizens’ awareness about the importance of achieving sustainable water systems for a more sustainable economy.

ISPRA with its Water Department is involved in all the activities of this project and coordinates workpackage 6 devoted to communication and dissemination.
