Strategy for International Cooperation Workshop 2020 – European initiatives

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.
