Interested parties from the knowledge triangle (education, research and industry) are invited to submit proposals for the creation of the new KIC EIT Water, which will address challenges in the areas of water, oceans and marine ecosystems. The KIC will focus in particular on water scarcity, droughts and floods as well as the deterioration of water quality in oceans and freshwater. The aim of 'EIT Water' is to strengthen the blue economy and Europe's competitiveness through innovation by bringing together leading experts from education, research and business.
