Water4All has recently launched a Joint Transnational Call (JTC) for research and innovation projects on “Water and Health”. The JTC is launched in the framework of the future European partnership and will support research and innovation projects aimed at addressing key challenges related to the link between water and human health, including water quality, contaminants, and water treatment technologies.
The Water4All JTC 2025 also considers the One Health approach, recognising the interconnections between human, environmental, and animal health. It also prioritises the development of accurate, efficient, and cost-effective water quality monitoring methods to improve risk assessment and management. Likewise, the advance in the implementation of sustainable water treatment technologies is recognised as crucial for ensuring safe drinking water and effective sanitation.
In line with the strategic objectives of Water4All, the results of the projects will contribute to the implementation of evidence-based, global, EU and national water management policies and strategies, within the frameworks of the European Green Deal, the zero-pollution action plan, the Water Framework Directive, Just Transition Mechanism, Water Resilience Strategy, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Proposals should consider on-going research activities funded by other instruments, programmes or projects and incorporate appropriate cross-cutting issues, such as socio-economic and/or capacity development. For further information, please visit. Submission deadline for preproposals is: 13 November 2025 CET.
