The European Partnership Water4All will soon announce its third Call “Water for Circular Economy” with participation of about 36 funding agencies from all over Europe and abroad.

The Call will support research and innovation projects to improve water security in the long term. In line with the strategic objectives of Water4All, the results should contribute to the implementation of evidence-based, global, EU and national water management policies and strategies, within the frameworks of the Green Deal, Water Framework Directive, Just Transition and the Water Action Agenda for UN Sustainable Development Goals. Proposals should show cognisance of appropriate legislation and policy frameworks at national and international levels while addressing policy actions and steering mechanisms needed to foster the paradigm shift to Circular Economy.

Research & innovation proposals submitted under the Water4All 2024 Joint Transnational Call are required to address at least one of the following themes*:

• Topic 1: Enhancement of water circularity in industries.
• Topic 2: Urban water circularity. (not funded by Germany!)
• Topic 3: Resource recovery and valorization.
• Topic 4: Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products.

_{*The use of water for hydroelectric generation, cooling in power plants and industry, and the use of water in agriculture under topics 1, 2 and 3 are not within the scope of the call. Although the health approach can be considered in risk assessment, aspects related to epidemiology and the downstream fate of contaminants are not eligible.}
