SPI-Water



Science-Policy Interfacing in support of the Water Framework Directive implementation

 

SPI-Water :

  • is an EC research project (FP6) in the context of Specific Support to Policies
  • is aiming to enhance the interfacing between science and policy with respect to the Water Framework Directive Implementation
  • started on 1st November 2006 and ended 31 October 2008

There is a clear need for streamlining of information from e.g. the scientific community to policy decision-makers. In this respect, efforts are on-going in the framework of various initiatives to examine how an efficient and operational ‘science-policy interface’ could be developed in support of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). This development is being undertaken in the framework of the Common Implementation Strategy of the WFD and in close cooperation with the Harmoni-CA concerted action which has initiated the WISE-RTD Web Portal. The ultimate aim is to develop an interface that could meet the demand of different levels of users and other stakeholders, ensuring an efficient dissemination and use of research results and experiences.

 

 

The results of the final conference of the SPI-Water project are available.
