HYDROUSA: https://hydrousa.org

Call: H2020 (CIRC-02-2016-2017 - Water in the context of the circular economy)

HYDROUSA aims to revolutionize the water supply chain in Mediterranean regions by demonstrating innovative solutions for water/wastewater treatment and management, which will close the water loops and will also boost their agricultural and energy profile.

SENTINEL: http://cosmesentinel.eu/

Call: COSME GO INTERNATIONAL

The Sentinel project – Cluster Network for Hospitality Sustainable Development and Internationalization – aims to bring together clusters from architecture and building, interiors furnishings and equipment, energy efficiency, water management to ICT and others. All of these involve three different emerging industries: creative industries (architecture and building, interiors furnishings and equipment), digital industries (ICT) and environmental industries (energy efficiency and water management).

SEA4VALUE: https://sea4value.eu/

Call: H2020-SC5-2019-2 Ensuring the sustainable supply of non-energy and non-agricultural raw materials

WATERTUR

Call: ERDF funds (European Regional Development Fund) in Catalonia

The CWP coordinates a RIS3 2017-2020 project of 1.6M€ with seven CWP members with regionalized ERDF funds (European Regional Development Fund) about sustainability in hospitality sector. 

The project Watertur takes place in the framework of the RIS3CAT 2016 call and the Operative Program FEDER of Catalonia 2014-2020. It has the general aim to investigate about new technologies for the optimization and the providing of intelligence to the most prominent water consumption points of a standard touristic facility (hotel). The project puts especial attention to the recreative area and in the diverse sectors of the water treatment system and investigates about innovative and advanced solutions in the area of the water treatment, the evaluation of their environmental profile and the monitoring and calculation of the water and carbon footprints at real time of the overall water cycle. Finally, this project will implement a decision support system for the recreative and water treatment systems of the hotel.  www.comunitataigua.cat/projects/watertur/  

AEWEN - African-EU Water and Energy Network https://aewenproject.eu/

Call:COS-CLUSINT-2020-3-01-1

AEWEN will develop a series of preparatory actions to interlink the project partners and member SMEs with key counterparts in the target markets: Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, through: a) the signature of stakeholder agreements; b) the design of a joint internationalisation strategy and roadmap; c) the co-creation of a dynamic internationalisation service offer. AEWEN will then test the strategy, roadmap and portfolio proposed, by providing a set of pilot business services for the internationalisation of the EU SMEs and by deploying actions for expansion and sustainability of the partnership. As a result, internationalisation of EU SMEs in the target markets will be accelerated by fostering collaboration along their value chains; by exploiting the opportunities drawn from the partnerships with local stakeholders; and by benefiting from new internationalisation services. The expected impact is increases exports, investment opportunities and economic development creating employment for EU businesses.IKAT

Call: EUROCLUSTER - SMP-COSME-2021-CLUSTER

Project presented in the Joint Cluster Initiatives (EUROCLUSTERS) for Europe's recovery (SMP-COSME-2021-CLUSTER), in the Ecosystem Strands Tourism. With a budget of 1.400.000 €, led by the Maritime and Logistics Cluster of the Balearic Islands (CMILB) and with the participation of the Maritime Cluster of the Canary Islands (CMC). The Maritime Clusters of Andalusia and Catalonia, the Catalan Water Partnership (CWP) and the Blue Cluster, which manages the Spanish Maritime Cluster (CME) to promote cooperation with Ibero-American maritime entities, are also participating as service providers. It will contribute to achieving the updated tourism strategy proposed by the EC following the conclusions reached by the Parliament and the Council pre-pandemic for the European tourism industrial ecosystem, especially maritime and coastal tourism in the Med and Black Sea area. To this end, a Euroclustering IKAT has been set up to address the different sectors and actors that make up the European tourism industrial ecosystem: Maritime and Logistics Clusters, Tourism Clusters and Innovation and Water Quality Clusters.
