WEKNOW - Web-based European knowledge network on water

The primary goal of this Concerted Action was to include all stakeholders involved in the process of supplying drinking water to European citizens in order to maximise the impact of European research and effort in all areas related to drinking water. The main objective of the project was to establish a network to link EU Member States and pre-accession and associated countries for the exchange of knowledge in order to contribute to the supply of safe and wholesome drinking water to all European citizens. Within the project three Expert Working Groups (EWG) were responsible for scientific input and the production of position papers. In order to achieve it’s goals, each EWG organised workshops. In addition, a number of tools for information exchange were used. WeKnow included all stakeholders involved in research, production and supply of drinking water, such as: research institutes, universities, regulators, inspectorates, water supply companies, pipe manufacturers, food industry (including e.g. soft drinks industry) and European consumer organisations.
