The three JPIs expect to launch a co-funded transnational and multi-disciplinary call 2020 for research and innovation proposals.
This showcase will enable stakeholders and end-users to present their own challenges, influence and improve the objectives and strategies developed in the call in order to address the most urgent scientific challenges and priorities- in doing so, pave the way for the implementation of a more efficient Water policy.
