News IWRM-NET newsletter and first call for research proposals: “Towards Effective River Basin Plans”

IWRM-NET launches its First Joint Call for trans-national research projects: “Towards Effective River Basin Plans”. IWRM-NET partners launch their first joint call related to Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) with a focus on the Water Framework Directive.
 
IWRM-NET 's first joint call is a trans-national initiative funded by IWRM-NET partners who have agreed on a common research programme dealing with Integrated water Resource Management within the context of the Water Framework Directive implementation.

The focus of this call is applied research to support development of the 2015 river basin plans. IWRM-NET wishes to develop a series of case studies, which include field testing and applications that can be used by river basin managers across Europe. Trans-national collaborative research projects will be directed to the following two topics:

  • Hydrological and morphological pressures and impacts on ecological status
  • Water governance

The research period is limited to a maximum of 24 months between 2008 and 2010. Deadline for submission of applications: February 28 2008.

IWRM-NET has published also its first newsletter with more details about the project, activities and the project team.
