project management / project work: | Prof. Dr.-Ing. M. Ernst / J. Benecke, M. Langer |
Situation: | The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) promotes the development of international research cooperation within the funding programme "International Cooperation in Education and Research – The Central, Eastern and South Eastern European Region" (Moel-Soel). Together with partners from Greece and Poland, sustainable concepts for safe water supply will be developed to meet local challenges. The main objective of the SafeWatPRO project is the preparation of a successful proposal and application for the for funding of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 and other research-relevant EU programmes. |
Methodology: | The main focus is on the development of a sustainable concept based on the application of new materials and energy efficient technologies for drinking water supply. For the submission of an H2020 proposal innovative water treatment processes are developed. |
