Objective
ESWG 2007-2010 is a conference programme on sustainable water management which pays special attention to European water policies. The topic is important because: 1) Europe is positioning itself as advocate of new approaches towards sustainable uses of water in order to preserve this limited resource for future generations; 2) Water supply for human purposes, irrigated agriculture, and energy, require urgent institutional reforms at national and local level; 3) Recent EU policies (WFD 2000/06) develop new models of water management for producing substantial shifts on national policies; 4) The implementation of the WFD requires training opportunities in MSs for developing integrated approaches with regard to surface, water and groundwater. With 4 conferences, ESWG addresses the need for training researchers on the implementation of the WFD in connection to other European policies, as the EU Green Book on Energy and the Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013. The University of Venice will provide the scientific and logistical coordination. A Steering Committee ensures the high scientific quality of conferences. ESWG is developed in conjunction with the JRC of Ispra, the EC organisation in charge for the WFD implementation. The Steering Committee acts in close coordination with the JRC. ESWG supports the training by providing an international scientific platform, and helping to develop careers and mobility. Researchers are selected not only for passive participation but for active interactions with keynote speakers. The Steering Committee ensures a balanced representation of researchers from all EU countries. Networking activities and scientific interactions will continue after the conferences, also by means of a dedicated web site. Very high scientific impact can be expected from this exchange between scholars. The ESWG shows a very high relevance to the objectives of MC action and is aimed to contribute substantially to the building of the European Research Area.
