6. By 2010, IWRM.Net will be established as :
1. THE source for knowledge about IWRM-research being undertaken in
Europe, with a focus on the WFD
2. A forum for prospective and co-ordination of research needs and
programmes on related issues in different countries, including accession
states and EU neighbours
3. The facilitator between research and water policy makers and managers
to bridge the communication gap
4. A facilitator for bringing together researchers and funders from different
countries to work on joint projects
5. A forum for exchanging best practices on administrating research
programmes across Europe

9. Integrating activities Workpackage 2 : Short term research needs
Dissemination
to disseminate the objectives and results of IWRM.Net in order to bridge
the communication between research and water policies, and to ensure
participation of stakeholders in the implementation
of the project
Workpackage 1 :
Knowledge Source
- to provide the basic facts on
research programmes in order to facilitate mutual knowledge, trust building and
systematic exchange of research programming in IWRM.Net
Workpackage 4 :
Integrating activities
to plan, prepare and implement sustainable
transnational activities
according to research needs identified in IWRM.Net
Workpackage 2 :
Short term research needs
to conduct joint activities based upon the identification of
common needs between partner research programme
managers in
focused areas related to the
research
required
for
the first Water Framework Directive implementation cycle
Workpackage 3 :
Strategic research
to go beyond WFD 2015 implementation
requirements, and to assist programme managers
in identifying long term strategic research needs for
future integrated water resources management
Workpackage 7 :
Project management - Support
to deliver the project expected outputs within the agreed time scale and resources, and to ensure the
quality of work, progress, results and impact of the project, in accordance with the vision of the
IWRM.Net
Workpackage 5 :
Liaisons
to increase the impact of IWRM.Net on the European water
community by proactively liaising with relevant
transnational or EU
based policy and research initiatives and potential new partners
