Short description: The European water sector is highly fragmented: water resources, water supply and sanitation/wastewater have often been managed locally. This fragmentation is an obstacle for developing a research strategy for a competitive water sector. Overcoming this obstacle is one of the important aims of WSSTP. This was conceived and drafted by five working groups, consisting of water sector experts and representatives of water sector stakeholders. The vision paints a picture of what could be achieved by 2030 if resources for research and development resources would be made available and targeted to respond onto the issues and challenges that the European water sector is facing. The vision identifies research needs on a high level, to be developed further in more detail in a the document . It also addresses the delivery of the mission of WSSTP. Proposals how to deliver the research will be covered in the third document, i.e. the . One of the major achievements of the WSSTP is that only after 6 months the very fragmented water sector has been able to produce a common vision on their future. This unique cooperation and coordination of multiple stakeholders further develops during the discussions on the Strategic Research Agenda.
