Strategies for International Cooperation Researchers workshop 2019

The Water JPI, as part of its supporting Coordination and Support Action is looking at opportunities to develop a common strategy for international cooperation with other European initiatives. IC4Water was launched in January 2017 and is funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020. IC4Water aims to implement joint activities in a dedicated effort to reinforce international cooperation in research, development and innovation to address global water challenges.

The 2019 Water JPI Workshop on “Towards a Common Strategy on International Cooperation” took place on 25 June 2019 in Paris, France. This was the second workshop in a series of three workshops designed to elaborate a common strategy with other relevant EU and international initiatives on international cooperation in the context of research, development and innovation activities. This workshop was primarily targeted at researchers.

A total of 38 people attended the workshop, including researchers from 19 countries and representatives from several initiatives, including the Water JPI.
