Water Related Projects of Societal Challenge 5

Policy Co-Creation Workshop

Date: 12 May 2021

Time: 10:00-12:15 CEST

Registration is closed

 

What has been the impact of Horizon 2020 projects in helping us with the management and resilience of water resources and improving water treatment systems? And how can policy actions create and stimulate the desired impacts in the fields of science, society and the economy? These were questions the IMPACT-SC5 project addressed, during a series of thematic Policy Co-Creation Workshops. Fifth and last in the series was this workshop on Water projects in SC5. This workshop was held online on 12 May 2021, 10:00-12:15 CEST.

This was a policy co-creation workshop, aimed at discussing the results of our analysis regarding the Water related projects of Societal Challenge 5. In addition, during the workshop we collectively identified how policy on national and European level can facilitate the enhancement of SC5 impacts’ diffusion and uptake across the EU.

The workshop was organised digitally in the context of IMPACT-SC5, an Horizon 2020 project that reviews the 87 RIAs and IAs funded under the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme 2014-2015, in terms of their scientific, economic, societal and environmental performance and impacts, both individually and across portfolios of projects. A briefing document was prepared in advance of the workshop. The recording of the session can be viewed here.
