What are the

Water Joint Programming Initiatives?

Coordination of the national / regional public research, development and innovation programmes in Europe

A process based on variable geometry

A new way to address RDI problems with European dimension

Alignment of research activities

Develop international cooperation in connection with regional initiatives: BONUS 2, PRIMA, Africa

9 Millions € - 7 projects / Kick-off meeting 11 March 2015

WaterWorks2014 – Waste Water Treatment and Water Reuse

Joint Call: 14,9 M€ (including South Africa)

16 projects recommended for funding – 1 with South Africa

WaterWorks2015 – (in coop. with JPI FACCE) - “improving water use efficiency and reducing soil and water pollution for a sustainable agriculture”

Budget: 25.5 M€

5 outside EU partners: Canada, Egypt, South Africa, Taiwan, and Tunisia

Launch of the call: 16 February 2016 – Deadline step 1: 19 April 2016

4 key International objectives :

• Promote greater complementarity and structuring of

research to tackle global challenges more efficiently and

effectively : Global food and water security

• Implementation of COP 21: Carbon sequestration in the

soils, reduction of agriculture GHG emission

• Facilitate the exchange of information, mutual learning

and capacity building with similar initiatives in other regions

• Share common calls for faster answers and innovations

by creating large critical mass of scientists (public and

private)

FACCE-JPI’s international opening:
