Cofunded by the European Union

23 projects are now recommended for funding for the Joint Transnational Call 2023 on “Aquatic Ecosystem Services”.

The results of these transnational projects should contribute to the implementation of evidence-based, global, EU and national water management policies and strategies.

116 pre-proposals were submitted in Step 1 and 59 were invited to step 2.

The three topics of this second call:

Topic 1. Mapping, monitoring, and assessment for a better understanding of ecosystem services in a context of changes, from local to global change.

Topic 2. Understanding and predicting multiple pressures (including anthropogenic pressures) - impact–response relationships in ecosystem services through advanced methods and techniques.

Topic 3. New tools and solutions for a better integration of ecosystem services into the management of water resources

Water4All is thrilled to share this shortlist of projects, pending final decisions by funders:

BioTreatED,  BREATHE, CREATE,  CyaNoServices, DeepThought, DOWES, EcoTwin, ECO-WADE,  ENGAGE, FESTiVAL, HALOBISE,  MISSION, PLURALAKES,  REACTION, RECHARGE, SecuCoast,  SentinelSpringS, SERVICO2, SUSTAIN-R, WATERPATH, WaterWeave,  WeTreat.

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
