Extension of ACQUEAU 5th Call deadline

Following our successful Brokerage event for Call 5 this January, and discussions post this event, we have decided to extend the deadline for the Project Outline phase to the 26th March 2012.

The call is constructed from three wide-ranging themes:

• Call 5A – Water & ICT Innovations for Sensing & Monitoring Applications in the Water Cycle
• Call 5B – Sustainable Processes for Disinfection & Oxidation
• Call 5C – Open Call within the context of the ACQUEAU Blue Book

For this call, ACQUEAU places a strong emphasis on the delivery of exploitable RTD outcomes, and on the forming of strong partnerships between SMEs and large enterprises, with the support of leading European RTD institutions.

You can visit our website to see more details on the project guidelines, theme descriptors, and other information for how to get involved with this call.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, should you have any enquiries.

It is important to note that:

• We would like to encourage all interested organisations who want to be part of consortia to make contact with partners at the earliest opportunity.
• We would also like to stress that you can still submit project proposals and participate in the call, even if you did not attend the brokerage event.
• If you wish to submit a proposal, you should get in touch with your National Project Coordinator as soon as possible, regarding your project outline and funding.

We look forward to working with you on our 5th Call.
