EurAqua´s vision and overall objectives
EurAqua is the leading European network for facilitating improved and coordinated water research, in support of knowledge-based water management and policy.
EurAqua aims to achieve this vision by carrying out the following four types of activities:
1. “Science Collaboration" - EurAqua takes action to further strengthen the collaboration and integration of research resources as well as to facilitate the efficient transfer of knowledge between scientific institutions and/or research teams.
2. “Science Policy Collaboration" - EurAqua takes action to collaborate and exchange research results with end-users, thus aiming to bridge the science-policy interface and the innovation gaps.
3. “Research needs identification and validation" - EurAqua actively and continuously works on identifying and validating research needs required to implement today's policy and future emerging challenges.
4. “Efficiency and strength of EurAqua" - EurAqua actively pursues information flow between its partners so as to increase its efficiency. EurAqua also liaises with other networks to collaborate whenever possible, further enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.
