Enhancing the added value of Water JPI’s research and innovation projects for more informed policy making decisions and market uptake of innovations

Organized by: Water JPI

Launched in 2011, the Water JPI is a Member States-driven initiative that aims to achieve sustainable water systems through a wide range of activities. The Water JPI has supported more than a hundred research and innovation projects in the areas of water pollution, water technologies, ecosystems and biodiversity, water quantity in the face of hydroclimatic extreme events and international cooperation. In order to make a real impact on our society, the Water JPI wishes to implement a valorisation-oriented strategy through which most promising results can be further promoted to support policy making or enhance their market uptake. In this context, the aims of this seminar are: (i) To tease out existing barriers for the valorisation of research results for policy or market use; (ii) to identify possible strategies for valorisation at both the European and international levels, in cooperation with project coordinators and the audience; (iii) to come up with an action plan based upon key lessons and recommendations.
