1 Europa, ambiente e depurazione: le politiche, l economia e le innovazioni Ready to Market Water challenges and emerging issues in Europe Giuseppina Monacelli, Rimini, 5 November 2015

2 10 JPIs Since 2008 Coordination of the national / regional public research, development and innovation programmes in Europe A process based on variable geometry A new way to address RDI problems with European dimension

3 The Water Joint Programming Initiative The discussion around Water JPI started in 2010 Water JPI was officialy adopted by EU Competitiveness Council in December : Chaired by Spain (MINECO) and Co-Chaired by the Netherlands (RVO) Since November 2014, Chaired by France (ANR) and Co-Chaired by Ireland (EPA), with the support of Spain (MINECO) and Italy (ISPRA) In February 2013 Water JPI and WatEUr CSA (Coordination and Support Action of Water JPI) had their official lauch meetings in Madrid. Water JPI responds to the challenge of "delivering sustainable water systems for a sustainable economy in and out of Europe."

4 Current Water JPI Partners and Observers A group of committed and motivated research managers Water JPI partners currently represent 88 % of the European National Public RDI investment on water.

5 Main Objectives of Water Joint Programming Initiative and Activites to Realize OBJECTIVES Involving water end-users for effective RDI results uptake. TOOLs Joint Call Management Reaching effective, sustainable coordination of European water RDI. Harmonising National water RDI agendas in Partner Countries. Supporting European leadership in science and technology. Mapping RDI activities (Questionnaire, Interview, Desk Research ) Allignment of Research Agendas (SRIA Document and Implementation Plan) International Cooperation (MoUs, Call Partnerships )

8 WATER JPI On-going and possible projects

9 Water JPI Joint Calls Pilot Call Emerging Contaminants 9 Millions - 7 projects / Kick-off meeting 11 March 2015 WaterWorks2014 Waste Water Treatments and Water reuse MS : 12,3 M + EC: 6,06 M = 18,37 M Joint Call: 14,9 M / Additional activities: 3,4 M Submission of proposals 4 May 2015 WaterWorks2015 Water and Agriculture in cooperation with FACCE Estimation MS: 16 M + EC: 8 M = 24 M Launch of the call: beginning of 2016 WaterWorks2017 Closing the water cycle gap

10 Pilot Call for proposals countries: CY, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, IE, IT, NL, NO, and PT. Publication October 2013 Budget of 9 M ( fresh money ) On the topic: Emerging Pollutants Future research on emerging pollutants in water for urban or agricultural purposes should deepen our understanding on the issues such as: What are the new contaminants? How can we predict their environmental behaviour in surface water, sediments, soil and groundwater? Which innovative rapid analysis and detection systems could be developed? What impact do they have on human health (toxicology) and on ecosystems (ecotoxicology)? FRAME, PROMOTE, METAWATER, PERSIST, StARE, TRACE, MOTREM

11 Call for proposals 2014 Topic related to developing technological solutions and services for water distribution and measurement, waste water treatment and reuse, desalination, floods and droughts, etc. Fulfils pillar 3 Promoting competitiveness in the water industry of our SRIA 17 partners from: BE, CY, DK, EE, ES, IE, IL, IT, MD, NL, NO, PT, RO, SE, TU and ZA. 1st Stage Deadline : 4 May pre-proposals 2nd Stage Deadline : 14 September proposals Budget of 14,95 M

12 Call for proposals 2015 Topic related to improving water use efficiency and reducing soil and water pollution for a sustainable agriculture Fulfils pillar 4 Implementing a water-wise bio-based economy of our SRIA Submitted to EC in April 2015 Beginning expected February 2016 Budget: 24 M 26 partners involved in the Joint Call from EU countries, associated countries (EG, MD, TN, TU and ZA) and non associated countries (CA, TW, US)

13 Developing a Strategic Research Agenda SRIA has been conceived «as a collective and shared strategy, fed by national strategies and fitting the objectives of RDI Programme owners ( ). The SRIA is based on shared prioritization. The SRIA is neither the intersection of national SRIAs, nor a brand new document resulting from a bottomup approach. ( )»

14 SRIA elaboration process Based on Vision document from 2011 Collection and processing of information Critical review of RDI needs Elaboration of the SRIA document Analysis info sources National programmes* EIP Water Blueprint Horizon 2020 Mapping WssTP EU roadmaps Foresight V 0.5 V 1.0 V 2.0 May 2013 June 2014 December 2015 Distribution of foresight studies by theme of the Water JPI 14
