Programmes Agro-Food, Environment

Water4All, a European co-funded partnership, is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

The network has pre-announced a new call for research proposals focusing on ‘Water and Health’. The call is planned to officially open on 12 September 2025.

Research and innovation proposals submitted under the Water4All 2025 Joint Transnational Call are required to 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.

Applications will be submitted by the coordinator. Each consortium participant will be funded by the Funding Partner Organisation from their country/region participating in the 2025 Joint Transnational Call. Participants are therefore subject to eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations.

Each consortium must involve

  • at least a minimum of three (3) eligible partners that request funding from participating Funding Partner Organisations (FPOs) from three different countries.
  • at least two independent legal entities from two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries as recipients of the financial support.
  • a maximum of seven (7) partners (including 1 self- funded partner).

In case needed, this partner search tool can help you find suitable partners.

Funding will come from various national and regional organizations, including the FWO for Flanders (and the FNRS for the French speaking Belgian community). Details about eligibility, evaluation criteria, and a full description of the themes will be published when the call officially launches.

For more information, visit the Water4All pre-proposal webpage and keep an eye on updates from NCP Flanders and FWO for further support. The FWO can be contacted directly at europe@fwo.be.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.

The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
