About NEWAVE:

As part of the EU Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020 (H2020), the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) aims to support the career development and training of researchers – with a focus on innovation skills – in all scientific disciplines through international and intersectoral mobility. NEWAVE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN) [1].

The opportunity that an ITN has in terms of triggering momentum for change in the water governance community is unique. The necessity for change and re-elaboration of water governance principles, stronger integration of social and hydrological sciences and profound trans-disciplinary involvement on non-academic actors in science-policy co-development and inclusion of different values and perspectives are challenges that can be faced only with a large scale, highly coordinated and coherent project. NEWAVE will consistently advance state of the art procedures, produce actionable water governance science for sustainable development, and contribute to scientific excellence.
