The MedAqua Project Cluster
- MedAqua-II is the continuation of the MedAqua Project ICA3-CT-1999-50002
(1/6/2000 to 31/8/2001), a cluster project for the INCO-MED water projects.
Its overall aim was – and will con-tinue to be for MedAqua-II:
• bring running and finished projects in INCO-MED water
closer together,
• assess the emerging scientific progress and identify
the future needs for research in the water management area, and
• Ensure a widespread dissemination of their activities
and results in the Middle East region.
- A prerequisite for any form of synergy of disparate groups or actors is
information about their activities and contacts with the players involved in
them.
- The MedAqua-II Joint Conference and the MedAqua-II interactive WEB site
will provide both of these requirements. MedAqua has established itself as a
forum and hence as a means to make such synergy happen.
- Co-operation itself has to come from the projects involved in this
cluster. Synergy and co-operation is a process that takes time and in
practice often needs more than one catalytic event. This is one of the
reasons why this project is being proposed as a con-tinuation of previous
activities.

| Objectives | - The objectives of the first MedAqua project, namely to bring ongoing projects closer together and to provide a “one-stop-shop” of information about them and their activities in the Internet, are still -valid for MedAqua-II: 1. A common web-site providing information about projects, announcing conferences and work-shops planned by these projects, and providing all presentations from the MedAqua-II Con-ference in electronic form. 2. Organise a Joint Conference for all INCO-Med projects and interested organisations on both sides of the Mediterranean. |
||
| Results | * The web-site www.MedAqua.org was redesigned and
updated. Out of 68 past and ongoing INCO-MED projects in the water domain
that are registered in the database of the site, 57 are described in detail.
About 500 organisations from Europe and the South Mediterranean region are
registered. One section of the home-page is reserved for announcements of
conferences, projects or websites organised by other projects or related
organisations. * The INCO-MED Conference Amman 2004 was held in June 2004 under the patronage of HRH Prince Hassan of Jordan. It was a 2-day event that attracted about 100 participants. |
