EU water stakeholders input to the Horizon 2020
Europe’s major water stakeholders are contributing to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2016-2017 with a document of suggested themes, calls and topics addressing demand-driven research and innovation water issues in Europe.
These themes were proposed following the European water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform (WssTP) initiative. The proposal covers all three parts of Horizon 2020 (H2020) and it is carefully streamlined with the H2020 work programme 2014-2015 to avoid themes that are already addressed.
The suggested priority themes and topics are primarily based on the input from the WssTP and the major stakeholders of the European water sector - including EurEau - to highlight key policy priorities for water to the Juncker Commission (2014-2019).
Water is an overarching and cross-sectorial theme and thus, the document takes a holistic, cross-sectorial approach to the demand-driven and global challenges-based research and innovation for water across science excellence, industrial leadership and societal challenges.
