  3. Opportunities for the water sector in Horizon 2020

  4. EU major policy drivers for research and innovation in the water sector in the context of Horizon 2020 • Innovation Union Flagship Initiative - European Innovation Partnership on Water • Resource Efficiency Flagship Initiative • Eco-Innovation Action Plan • EU water related policies (Blueprint to safeguard Europe’s waters) • Joint Programming Initiative "'Water challenges in a Changing World“ • Water related ETPs (WssTP, SusChem) and PPPs (SPIRE) 4

  5. 19 + 1 partners; 5 observers

  6. What is Horizon 2020? • €70.2 billion* billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) • Coupling research to innovation – "from research to retail", all forms of innovation • Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health,clean energy and transport • *2011 constant prices

  7. Funding of Societal Challenges (in € million, 2014-2020)

  8. Water in Horizon 2020A key component of Societal Challenge 5: Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials Objective of Societal Challenge 5: "to achieve a resource – and water – efficient and climate change resilient economy and society, the protection and sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystems, and a sustainable supply and use of raw materials, in order to meet the needs of a growing global population within the sustainable limits of the planet's natural resources and eco-systems."

  9. SC5 Work Programme 2014-2015 Focus AreaWater innovation: Boosting its value for Europe • Reinforcing water innovation capacity and market uptake of successful research results • Boost the competitiveness and growth of European water sector • Create leadership in water resources management and positioning Europe as a global market leader in water related innovative solutions • Support the needs of relevant EU water, innovation and resource efficient policies, international commitments and related initiatives.

  10. Prospects for water R&I in the 2016-2017 Horizon Work Programme • Maintain the momentum of the Water Innovation FA promoting investment of innovative solutions • Putting water in the center of a systemic approach for eco-innovation and circular economy, natural based solutions and climate services • Help unlock public and private investments in the water sector • Make wider use various Horizon 2020 financial instruments and create opportunities for synergies with other EU funds (Cohesion funds, LIFE+, etc.) • Large-scale demonstration projects with replication potential
