Dear colleagues,
Herewith I want to open the “Exceed-Swindon water forum” for discussions, comments and contributions.
The main theme is the announcement of two actual Project Calls related to water management. As you can see from the info below the topics of the Calls match very well with the topics of Swindon Network.
There are pros and conts of these calls.
Short info about these two Project Calls are given below. Especially the PRIMA Call seems to be suitable for all MENA-Swindon countries.
The Deadline for submitting of a short proposal is End of March-Mid April.
Interested colleagues can contact potential partners using this forum.
I wish us all TOI, TOI, TOI (in German)
Kind regards
Bülent Topkaya
