| Short description: |
Floods, water scarcity and droughts have enormous environmental, social and economic
impacts. Insufficient water quality levels pose threats for public health and bio-diversity and
the supply of safe drinking water and sanitation still poses problems, both within Europe and
outside. To sustainably manage the increasing pressures on water resources, new and
innovative approaches are needed.
The European Innovation Partnerships (EIPs) as proposed in the Europe 2020 Flagship
Initiative "Innovation Union" provides for a strategic approach and framework to address the
weaknesses in the European research and innovation system to speed up innovations that
make a significant contribution to solving societal challenges.
