WssTP released its Position Paper on FP8 to create a Water Fund to the European Commission and to its members.
WssTP would like to thank members who contributed to the questionnaire and provided their inputs to this paper.
In short, WssTP advocates launching a “Water Programme” under the future research programmes of the European Commission.
A successful programme will ensure that there is commonality and alignment of strategic goals between the different funding mechanisms promoted by the Commission.
