Short description: EXTRACT: The Strategic Research Agenda describes the research which must be undertaken to realize our vision. The on-going stakeholder driven approach to developing a research agenda empowers all stakeholders (private and public) to define the future of research, and to share in the actual research and implementation activities. The WSSTP is a vital mechanism to increase investments in research to support the competitiveness of European water technology and services. The WSSTP believes that increased global competitiveness depends upon both economic growth and social responsibility. The WSSTP will therefore support both European economic growth and contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals as part of the EU Water Initiative. 
Long description: EXTRACT: This merged SRA is the product of a long process which started with the development of specific research agendas produced by the thematic working groups of the WSSTP: Water Management (TWG1), Water for People (TWG2), Water in Industry (TWG3), Water in Agriculture (TWG4) and for building an enabling environment (Horizontal Working Group, HWG). The Member States Mirror Group contributed significantly to these SRA’s. A first version of a merged Strategic Research Agenda was presented at a public Stakeholders Event in Budapest on October 17, 2005. Following this event a new version of the SRA was developed to accommodate comments made during and after the event.
