Water4All partnership is pleased to announce its Call 2024: Water for circular economy is now open. Deadline for pre-proposals submission is 13th November 2024, 15:00 CET.
This Call aims to deliver new solutions to develop new circular feedstocks and value chains, increase water resource efficiency, improve water allocation, and optimize water use in water-dependent sectors. The 2024 Joint Transnational Call will also focus on the barriers to the adoption of proposed solutions and the deployment of outputs, and to the impact in inland and coastal water environments.
Projects must address at least one of the following themes:
- Enhancement of water circularity in industries.
- Urban water circularity.
- Resource recovery and valorization.
- Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products

Disclaimer:
In September 2024, the Water4All and the DUT Partnerships under Horizon Europe have launched calls for research on topics that are complementary. Duplication of funding for the same proposal is not allowed, therefore the applicants must carefully choose the best fit for their proposals based on the scope of each call and their respective research priorities.
- For topics with a stronger water and circularity focus, applying to the Water4All 2024 Joint Transnational Call is recommended
- For proposals with a focus on urban planning and changes in urban water cycle paradigms, applying to the DUT Call 2024 is recommended
