Ten Projects With Dutch Contribution Granted In European Call For Circular Water Use

The projects in this third round of the European Water4ALL Partnership “Water for a Circular Economy” will start soon. NWO has awarded the projects nearly 3.4 million euros.

Water security, including in the long term, is crucial to keeping the earth alive. Clean drinking water is a scarce commodity, but it is also used in industry and agriculture. This call focused on water use in the economy. For example, the Hanze University of Applied Sciences project looks at water use in the built environment. And one of the projects to which TU Delft is contributing concerns the reuse of water from the paper industry.

A total of 27 projects have been funded by Water4All, of which two projects have a Dutch main applicant and eight projects have a Dutch co-applicant. The projects are consortia with participants from several countries. See the full overview of the projects in this call on the Water4ALL website (https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/ten-projects-with-dutch-contribution-granted-in-european-call-for-circular-water-use#:~:text=Water%20security%2C%20including,the%20Water4ALL%20website.).
