18 6th Framework Programme 2002-2006
Priority Area 6.3 “Global Change and Ecosystems” Sub-area “Water Cycle and Soil-related aspects” New very large funding instruments (Integrated Projects and Networks of Excellence) First call (April 2003): Ecological impact of global change on freshwater ecosystems, River-soil-groundwater interactions, Integrated flood-risk methodologies, Twinning river basins from EU/Africa/NIS (EUWI) Second call (October 2003): IWRM, Water stress management, Long-term water scenarios for Europe, Water and Soil technologies Third call (Fall 2004): Flood and Drought research, Integrated Urban Water Management, Risk-based land management

19 6th Framework Programme 2002-2006
Priority 8: “Specific Support to Policy” Fast response to direct policy needs Work Programme established in close collaboration with the interested policy DGs Area 1.5: “Environmental assessment (soil, water, air, noise, effect of chemicals First call (March 2003): WFD (Ecological/chemical status – Sampling, screening and testing methods); Sludge Directive (Horizontal standards for selected organic compounds) Second call (January 2004): Bathing Water Dir. (Detection techniques for viruses); Groundwater Dir. (Thresholds of groundwater pollutants); Sludg Dir. (Horizontal standards for hygienic parameters)

20 Conclusions EC-funded research
A huge patrimony of knowledge and expertise to be properly exploited for policy and regulation purposes A very large source of information, through publications, web sites, newsletters, conferences and workshops Need to facilitate the access to information and the multi-later communication with stakeholders, policy makers and regulators Constitution of a limited number of project Clusters Direct participation in the policy development mechanism (i.e. Soil Strategy) FP6 New opportunities through Integrated Projects and the Specific Support to Policy Coordination between DG ENV, DG RTD and the JRC
