WssTP Working Groups are key to the functioning, objectives, and implementation of the WssTP strategy
They facilitate amongst other:
- Collaboration and coordination on water-related challenges dealing with RTD&I,
- Improvement of global market opportunities for the European water-related technology, service, and knowledge providers, and
- Promotion of consortium opportunities
They have emerged from the former WssTP Pilot and Task Force structure was in place between 2007 and 2012. Depending on their topic they can be of a more strategic, thematic, or technological nature.
Participation to WssTP Working Groups is in principle only open for representatives from WssTP members and WssTP strategic partners.
WssTP strongly encourages its members to be engaged in its working groups.
