Belgium
This is done in the context of the next deadline (26 October 2004) of the 3rd call for proposals for indirect RTD actions under the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration: 'Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area', sub-priority 1.1.6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems".
Under these topics, the Commission has launched a call for two ambitious Integrated Projects aiming at building-up a platform for long-term RTD support for sustainable integrated urban water management and governance systems and drinking water systems in the context of the new urban realities of the 21st century. Relevant efforts are also considered as essential part of the commitment to the EU Water Initiative and the implementation of the Environmental Technology Action Plan/Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform.
