A EUROPEAN VIEW ON RISKS OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS TO THE WATER SECTOR

The WssTP organises its 3rd Stakeholders event April 1st during the WASSER BERLIN 2009. During one afternoon, this conference will focus on "Impacts of the financial crisis on the water and sanitation sector".

The Stakeholders event aimed at gathering key representatives from the European water sector to discuss strategic issues to foster the research and technology competitiveness in Europe.

The goals of this meeting are to present outcomes related to risks management and setting priorities in the general context of the current financial crisis. How manage priorities in this context? What are the kinds of risks? How can we collaborate and work together to seize opportunities especially for projects financing?

High-level representatives from European institutions including the Direction of Research of the European Commission, The European Investment Bank and the European Technology Platform will conduct a first panel on European water research.
A second panel will look at concrete steps and frameworks to better implement the Strategic Research Agenda. Members from the water sector implicated in the WssTP pilots will conduct presentations and discussions aiming at key representatives from the water and sanitation sector.
