Water4All, water and health: planned international call

The European Partnership Water4All plans a call for proposals of international projects “Water and Health”. Call announcement is planned in September 2025. I guess that details about the call may be published in June/July 2025, and deadline may be in November 2025.

Participation of Czech entities should be funded by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA CR).

If you plan to participate in a project proposal, please, contact well in advance, 1 month before the deadline at the latest, the Project Management Department (Martina Holíková, martina.holikova@natur.cuni.cz), so that all the administrative requirements of the application can be prepared in time.

If you consider coordinating a project, please contact us as soon as possible, ca. 3 months before the deadline at the very latest.

• Upcoming calls on Water4All website.
• Database on previously funded projects (probably not perfectly functional yet).
• Funded projects booklet Water4All 2022 (Management of water resources) – abstracts, consortia composition, contacts.
• TA CR webpage about this programme: in English (not always up to date), in Czech.

Topics supported by this call should be based on themes of the Water4All Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda that within the “Theme IV: Water and Health” (pp. 36) includes the following sub-themes:

• Behaviour and effects of contaminants of emerging concern, litter, plastics, endocrine disruptors
• Water dimension of anti-microbial resistance
• Innovative water tools and technologies for water quality monitoring and water treatment, remediation and disinfection
• Risk assessment and threshold values for protection of human health and ecosystems

The project consortium usually must consist of at least 3 partners from 3 different countries participating in the call, out of that at least 2 must be EU member states or Horizon Europe associated countries, maximal number of partners being 7. Usual consortia size is ca. 4–7 partners from 3–5 countries.
Each partner must fulfil the eligibility criteria of their national funding body.

Countries participating in the previous call: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Türkiye, UK.

Funding of participation of Czech entities is usually linked to the TA CR programme Sigma (Sub-objective 4 – International collaboration), which means that only applied research is supported and the maximal funding rate for the Czech part of a project is 80 %.
