Water4All 2024 Joint Transnational Call
In collaboration with the European Union, 36 Funding Agencies from all over Europe and abroad are pleased to announce the Joint Transnational Call for research and innovation projects on “Water for Circular Economy”.
The Joint Transnational Call (JTC) is launched in the framework of the European partnership Water4All and supports research and innovation projects to improve water security in the long term. In line with the strategic objectives of Water4All, the results should contribute to the implementation of evidence-based, global, EU and national water management policies and strategies, within the frameworks of the Green Deal, Water Framework Directive, Just Transition and the Water Action Agenda for UN Sustainable Development Goals. Proposals should show cognisance of appropriate legislation and policy frameworks at national and international levels while addressing policy actions and steering mechanisms needed to foster the paradigm shift to Circular Economy.
The context for the general call topics is described in Theme I of the Water4All Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), “Water for Circular Economy: smart water value”. Likewise, Themes VI and VII in the SRIA on “International cooperation” and “Governance”, respectively, must be considered as they are cross-cutting issues to all other themes. Applicants are encouraged to check links in the SRIA between themes.
