Aquatic Pollutants

A collaboration between three Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs): Water, Oceans and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in collaboration with European Commission. Eighteen research and innovation projects selected on "Risks posed to human health and the environment by pollutants and pathogens present in the water resources".

20M€ in requested funding.

The projects revolve around the three proposed call themes:

• Measuring – Environmental behaviour of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), pathogens and antimicrobial resistant bacteria in aquatic ecosystems

• Evaluating – Risk assessment and management of CECs, pathogens and antimicrobial resistant bacteria from aquatic ecosystems (inland, coastal and marine) to human health and environment

• Taking Actions – Strategies to reduce CECs, pathogens and antimicrobial resistant bacteria in aquatic ecosystems (inland, coastal and marine)
