“...Se não tem carne,
Eu compro um osso
Se não tem água,
Eu furo um poço....” (Lamento do Morro, Vinicius de Moraes)
“...Dê emprego ao nosso povo
Encha os rios de barragem...” (Vozes da Seca, Luiz Gonzaga)
“…Água que nasce na fonte serena do mundo
E que abre um profundo grotão
Água que faz inocente riacho
E deságua na corrente do ribeirão
Águas escuras dos rios Que levam a fertilidade ao sertão
Águas que banham aldeias
E matam a sede da população
Águas que movem moinhos São as mesmas águas que encharcam o chão
E sempre voltam humildes
Pro fundo da terra...”
(Planeta Água, Guilherme Arantes)
Joint Programming Is a new way for tackling Current Grand Challenges with
(at least) European dimension
An initiative of European Member States and the
European Commission
in a structured way, through:
coordinating national / regional, public, research, development and
innovation programmes in Europe
Developing Joint multilateral activities
aligning national research programmes in an effective manner,
making better use of Europe’s limited public RDI funding
and extending links to various international initiatives.

KH
First
KH
A network built for selected research
groups and targeted to stakeholders.
Within a specific research area, it will:
Establish a critical mass of research and
technological excellence
Facilitate integration and sharing of
knowledge, infrastructures, data and
modelling tools,
Facilitate training and capacity building,
Provide improved communication and
networking with stakeholders and the

Why collaborating?
Finding a critical mass and making a better use of our
limited public RDI funding
Having a better impact on the development of solutions
for addressing our major societal challenge (cf. UN SDGs,
World Economic Forum risks)
Proposing opportunities for research and innovation
cooperation
Avoid duplication of work and increase efficiency
“Share the burden” and the costs

Discussions around barriers for cooperation:
Increasing dissemination of Brazilian co-financing together with FAPs could increase the involvement of Brazilian partners in collaborative projects within H2020
Targeted calls together with Brazil can support a more focused involvement
Increasing possibilities of mutual priority setting can strengthen commitment and cooperation
Networking, matchmaking and capacity building activities and events are crucial to increase cooperation:
Spreading opportunities and increasing capacities of programme managers and of proponents

SDG 6. Ensure availability and sustainable
management of water and sanitation for all TARGETS 6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying
special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations
6.3 By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous
chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and
safe reuse globally
6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and
supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water
scarcity
6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary
cooperation as appropriate
6.6 By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers
and lakes
6.a By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water -and
sanitation- related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater
treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
6.b Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management
of people suffering from water scarcity
