IWRM.NET-CA - Towards a European-wide exchange Network for integrating research efforts on Integrated Water Resources Management
Start date of the project:

End date of the project:

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is among todays core environmental policies in all European countries when transposing the Water Framework Directive - WFD. An analysis of 60 research programmes, carried out in 13 EU countries, shows that, since 2000, transposing the Directive has considerably changed the content of national or regional government-funded research programmes.
The shared Vision of what should be IWRM.Net by 2010 :
- The source for knowledge about IWRM-research being undertaken in Europe, with a focus on the WFD
- A forum for prospective and co-ordination of research needs and programmes on related issues in different countries, including accession states and EU neighbours
- The facilitator between research and water policy makers and managers to bridge the communication gap
- A facilitator for bringing together researchers and funders from different countries to work on joint projects
- A forum for exchanging best practices on administrating research programmes across Europe Activities will include a Knowledge Management tool.
