Water Efficiency in European Urban Areas - WE@EU  project partners aimed at developing an open European platform for EU excellence in water efficiency in urban water management. This European platform would enable the participating clusters and regions to bring together knowledge and innovation potential by collaborating and mutually learning in a trans-national basis, and thus generating an innovation friendly ecosystem where academia and business will work together, in coordination with regional authorities and other stakeholders, transforming knowledge into innovative products, services and skills in the water efficiency sector. 

The eco-innovative approach of WE@EU not only enables to boost innovation as a measure to increase competitiveness, generate new skills and reduce pressures on the environment, but also contributes to the implementation of “Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe”. 

The achievement of the WE@EU’s overall goal are driven by a number of specific objectives: 

  1. Fostering high-level trans-national cooperation and integration between research-driven clusters as well as mutual learning between regional actors.
  2. Improving links and integration between regional authorities, legal entities conducting research and the regional business community.
  3. Developing and implementing joint action plans at the European level to increase regional economic competitiveness.
  4. Supporting the internationalization of the regional research-driven clusters.
  5. Disseminating knowledge and raising public awareness.
  6. Mentoring regions with a less developed research profile.
