Water JPI (“Water Challenges for a Changing World”) was a Joint Programming Initiative founded by EU Member States (intergovernmental, voluntary participation), associated countries and the European Commission (as a partner, not the owner). The Council of the European Union formally endorsed and launched the initiative on 2011-12-06.[1]

Period of Activity

The initiative was active from 2010 to 2025:

  • 2010 – initial development of the Joint Programming Initiative[2]
  • 2011-12-06 – official establishment by the Council of the European Union
  • 2025 – formal end, marked by the Final Water JPI Conference and the official closing of the initiative[3]

Funding

Water JPI was financed by a combination of national research budgets provided by the participating countries and through European Commission funding (Horizon 2020).[4]

The EC supported WaterJPI through ERA-NET Cofund programmes, including:

  • WaterWorks2014[5]
  • WaterWorks2015[6]
  • WaterWorks2017[7]
  • AquaticPollutants[8]
  • BiodivRestore[9]

Closure

The Final Water JPI Conference (October 2025) included the official closing of the initiative.[10] Since then, Water JPI describes itself as a "legacy initiative".[11]

The final strategic document was the SRIA 2025, which defined the end of the initiative’s planning horizon.[12]

Its mission and coordination role were continued by the new European partnership Water4All, launched under Horizon Europe.[13]
