2 Water will be the first mineral resource to be exhausted on the blue planet

3 Water as a top priority for World Economic Forum since 2015, TOP 1 risk in terms of impacts to economy and society for the upcoming years

4 ...Se não tem carne, Eu compro um osso Se não tem água, Eu furo um poço... (Lamento do Morro, Vinicius de Moraes)...Dê emprego ao nosso povo Encha os rios de barragem... (Vozes da Seca, Luiz Gonzaga) Água que nasce na fonte serena do mundo E que abre um profundo grotão Água que faz inocente riacho E deságua na corrente do ribeirão Águas escuras dos rios Que levam a fertilidade ao sertão Águas que banham aldeias E matam a sede da população Águas que movem moinhos São as mesmas águas que encharcam o chão E sempre voltam humildes Pro fundo da terra... (Planeta Água, Guilherme Arantes)

5 Joint Programming Is a new way for tackling Current Grand Challenges with (at least) European dimension An initiative of European Member States and the European Commission in a structured way, through: coordinating national / regional, public, research, development and innovation programmes in Europe Developing Joint multilateral activities aligning national research programmes in an effective manner, making better use of Europe s limited public RDI funding and extending links to various international initiatives.

6 10 JPIs since 2008 Water Challenges for a Changing World Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans More Years, Better Lives - The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change Antimicrobial Resistance- The Microbial Challenge - An Emerging Threat to Human Health Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe Global Urban Challenges, Joint European Solutions Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change Cultural Heritage and Global Change: A New Challenge for Europe A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life Alzheimer and other Neurodegenerative Diseases

7 Water JPI partners currently represent 88% of the European National Public RDI investment on water

8 Structured around Thematic Activities

9 And JPI Horizontal Activities Strategy Activities (Foresight, Consultative workshop, Consultation) Mobility and Infrastructures Horizontal Activities Workshops Towards a common vision Updating the SRIA Enlarging the Water JPI membership Engaging stakeholders International cooperation Updating the mapping Outreach & dissemination

10 Implementation principles Variable geometry Water JPI partners only participate in activities of their specific interest Flexibility This supports the development of activities responding to partners needs and opportunities Responsiveness The Water JPI provides an enabling environment: the water challenge is tackled through specific and tailored activities Everything in Common, except the Funding

15 Why a mapping exercise? Better understanding of the European water-related RDI activities Inventory of national & regional research strategies, policies and programs Funding of research projects, infrastructures & mobility schemes in Water RDI Multi-national coordination activities taking place in Europe Preliminary strategic analysis of the current water research strengths, weaknesses, gaps and barriers to cooperation

16 Mapping Beyond Europe Mapping of RDI activities in 7 targeted countries and first contacts with research funding organisations to invite them to participate in the ERA-NET Brazil Canada China India South Africa USA Vietnam Criteria: Scientific excellence, development and market

22 The Water JPI Knowledge Hubs A network built for selected research groups and targeted to stakeholders. Within a specific research area, it will: Establish a critical mass of research and technological excellence Facilitate integration and sharing of knowledge, infrastructures, data and modelling tools, Facilitate training and capacity building, Provide improved communication and networking with stakeholders and the scientific community.

26 Why collaborating? Finding a critical mass and making a better use of our limited public RDI funding Having a better impact on the development of solutions for addressing our major societal challenge (cf. UN SDGs, World Economic Forum risks) Proposing opportunities for research and innovation cooperation Avoid duplication of work and increase efficiency Share the burden and the costs
