Cofunded by the European Union

Ariane Blum, the coordinator of the Water4All Partnership, has been invited to join the conference “Policy Dialogue on Aligning Priorities in the Western Balkans – Vision 2030”

within the framework of the Horizon Europe funded project “Research and Innovation policy making, implementation and support in the Western Balkans, POLICY ANSWERS”. The event will take place in Sarajevo on September 13,  2023. 

The conference aims to stimulate policy dialogue on how to align priorities in the Western Balkans across the areas of Digital Transformation, Green Deal and Healthy Societies to build bridges between national/ regional priorities and EU priorities. Such an alignment should ultimately result in the higher participation of Western Balkans countries in European initiatives such as Horizon Europe partnerships. A dedicated B2B setting will enable the European partnerships to meet and exchange with the representatives of relevant ministries and funding organisations. 

The conference is free to attend, and registration is required. Register here !!!

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 81 partners from 31 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
