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.

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.
