Water4All Partnership -Water Security for the planet (Phase 2)

Launched in June 2022, Water4All is a Research and Innovation Partnership set up in Horizon Europe. It aims at enabling water security for all on the long term by boosting systemic transformations and changes across the water research and innovation pipeline, fostering the matchmaking between problem owners and solution providers. In addition to the launch of calls for research and innovation proposals, Water4All offers a portfolio of additional activities including the alignment of water programmes, demonstration projects, international cooperation, the wide transfer and dissemination of activities and results, networking and capacity building.
The partnership will provide relevant outcomes for a better understanding of water processes in a number of scientific fields, and it will support European and international policy-oriented initiatives, notably the European Green Deal, Water Resilience Strategy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the time of publication, the consortium counts more than 90 partners stemming from national research funding agencies, public authorities including local authorities, research performing organisations, water associations and networks at European, national or regional levels. Partners have decided to join forces to address the big challenge of water for all. The partnership work programme is structured around five operational pillars looking at strategic issues (pillar A), development of knowledge through calls for proposals (pillar B), science – policy – end-users’ interface (pillar C), demonstration (pillar D) and international cooperation (pillar E).
