Water Joint Programming Initiative

The Water Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) aims to enhance collaboration between national research programmes in Europe.

Water challenges cannot be successfully tackled through the isolated effort of individual national research and innovation programmes.

This initiative aims at developing a coordinated and strategic approach to public national and regional research and innovation funding in Europe.
