The European Partnership Water4All prepares a call for proposals of international projects Water and Health. Call is planned to open on 12. 9. 2025, deadline for pre-proposals is planned on 13. 11. 2025.

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

► On 25. 9. 2025, Water4All organise a webinar for applicants. Registration (source).

If you plan to participate in a 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 formal requirements of the application can be prepared in time.

If you consider coordinating a project, please contact us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ca. 2–3 months before the deadline at the very latest.

• Call Pre-Announcement webpage – scope of the call, timeline, participating countries, key links.

Projects should address key challenges related to the link between water and human health, including water quality, contaminants, and water treatment technologies.

Proposals must address at least one of the following topics:

• Topic 1: Waterborne contaminants & health risks: occurrence, behaviour, interactions and vulnerability
• Topic 2: Innovative tools and technologies for Water quality and exposure monitoring
• Topic 3: Water treatment and exposure mitigation
• Topic 4: Governance, socio-economic innovation, and policy integration for water and health

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. Project duration usually is 3 years.
Each partner must fulfil the eligibility criteria of their national funding body.

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

Funding of participation of Czech entities is linked to the TA CR programme Sigma (Sub-objective 4), only applied research will probably be supported. Total financial allocation for Czech participation in this call is EUR 500 000, maximal funding for the Czech part of one project is EUR 160 000. Maximal funding rate for Czech participants will probably be 80 % (for the Czech part of the project in total).

Project proposals will be submitted online by the coordinator. Czech participants will probably have to simultaneously submit to TA CR a “project proposal” via SISTA (it will probably contain administrative and budget information) by the pre-proposal deadline, in order for TA CR to check the national eligibility of the proposal.
