FTP participates in preparations for the European Innovation Partnership on Water Efficiency
Tuesday 10 January 2012Back to overview
The Europe 2020 flagship initiative for an Innovation Union proposed the launch of a number of potential European Innovation Partnerships (EIP), including one on water. The objective of the EIP Water Efficiency is to develop innovative solutions for water-related challenges and through boosting innovation create a global leadership position for European water technology and services.
The European Commission is organising a series of stakeholder consultations to develop the EIP on Water Efficiency. These stakeholder workshops are specifically targeting the relevant European Technology Platforms, to discuss existing innovative solutions, develop a prioritisation of areas in which innovative solutions need to be developed and identify where the activities of the ETPs and the EIP on Water Efficiency can support each other.
The first workshop took place on 15 December; the presentations from this event can be found on the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/innovationpartnership/contributions_en.htm
The next workshop is scheduled for Wednesday 1 February.
