Centro de Biotecnologia Agrícola e Agro-alimentar do Alentejo (CEBAL) is a private, non-profit R&D unit located in Beja, Portugal. It has the mission to develop scientific and technological knowledge in biotechnology field applied to agroforestry, agro-food, animal and plant genomics, bioinformatics, and waste valorization for a sustainable use of resources.
CEBAL combines R&D activities with technology transfer, being highly involved in postgraduate teaching and training (Masters and PhD students), as well as formation of highly skilled fellows. CEBAL also includes science dissemination activities, reinforcing the need to spread technical and scientific outputs to potential users. CEBAL started its activity in January 2008, has currently 22 institutional associates, and employs 36 researchers, including 7 PhD holders and 14 PhD students. CEBAL has been able to approve several fundamental and applied research projects, as well as business co-promotion and technology transfer projects. CEBAL´s scientific impact has been recognized, by several national and international awards, international publications in recognized journals with peer-review, and 6 international patents.
CEBAL PhD researchers are part of the Research Unit MED - Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development, a R&D Unit at University of Évora, Portugal, classified with Excellent, as well belong to the Associated Laboratory CHANGE – Institute for Global Change and Sustainability.

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 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
