2017 - Water JPI SRIA & UN SDGs Workshop

A Water JPI SRIA & UN SDGs Workshop was held in Dublin on the 24^th March 2017.

The objective of this workshop was to review and assess the Water JPI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) in the light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

A total of 44 participants attended the workshop including Water JPI Governing Board members, Strategic Advisory Group members, Water JPI partners and invited speakers.

The aim of the workshop was to address the following two points:

The possible gaps in the Water JPI SRIA, which should be considered for future revision as a basis for the next version of the SRIA (Version 3.0) to be published in 2019.
Possible priority topics for a Joint Transnational Call.

The workshop was very successful in achieving its objective of identifying a number of SRIA gaps in relation to the UN SDGs and to propose possible thematic priorities for the Joint Transnational Call on SDGs.

The gaps identified during the workshop were analysed for inclusion in the next SRIA V3.0. Coupled to this, the thematic priorities identified and call text for the Joint Transnational Call, launched in October 2017 was on the agreed for the “Water resource management in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals”.
