2. Initiatives , networks and links covered by the ChemWater project :

3. Water : a key pan-European concern
What is Chemwater? A joint envisioned strategy, funded by the European Commission, addressing the efficient management of water in process industry.
Water : a key pan-European concern
The chemical industry : a key solution provider

4. The objectives and challenges :
4 fundamental lines in direct connection with the improvement of industrial water management cycle
Establish the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral synergies between key stakeholders (i.e. ETPs, NoEs, ERA-NETS) related to Chemical Processes and Water Industry => implementing a pilot for future enlargement to other process industry sectors.
Create the necessary elements and mechanisms to facilitate the rapid uptake and commercialization of enhanced materials, technologies and production processes => towards an optimized industrial water management.
Develop a common long term vision and strategy regarding technologies directed to realize an efficient industrial water management that will integrate in a cross-sectoral and cross- disciplinary manner the necessary resources and relevant stakeholders => developing a program of commonly-defined activities.
Establishment and implementation of an effective dissemination strategy => ensuring the transmission of the project objectives ; taking into account best practices and methodologies and other common long term strategies.
