Horizon Europe partnership Water4All opened third call that focuses on water for circular economy.
Four subtopics are opened in the call:
Topic 1. Enhancement of water circularity in industries.
Topic 2. Urban water circularity.
Topic 3. Resource recovery and valorization.
Topic 4. Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products.
Estonian partner(s) in a successful project will be funded by the Estonian Research Council (ETAG). The maximum requested budget for the Estonian partner(s) participating in one project, if all Estonian partners participate as regular partners, is 150 000 euros per project. If the Project Coordinator is from an Estonian research organisation, the requested budget for the Estonian sub-project may be up to 300 000 euros. (If several Estonian partners participate in a project coordinated by an Estonian partner, the maximum requested budget of all Estonian partners in the project is still 300 000 euros.)
ETAG funds both basic and applied science projects. All partners must meet the requirements of their national funding organization.
Private-for-profit organisations must contact the national contact point before submitting the proposal: Katrin Saar (katrin.saar@etag.ee).
