From 2 to 4 November 2026 in Montpellier, Targeted Project 3 OBSWATERS will hold its third workshop, dedicated to the co-construction of the scientific projects to be developed during the project’s second phase.

This third workshop will bring together representatives of research teams that responded to the Call for Expressions of Interest (CEI), coordinators of the observation systems partnering with PC3, as well as co-leaders and co-facilitators of the targeted projects and scientific challenges of the OneWater – Water as a Common Good programme.

The aim of this meeting is to initiate the co-construction of scientific projects and associated research teams that may receive funding for doctoral and postdoctoral contracts as part of OBSWATERS Phase 2. Discussions will build on the proposals submitted through the Call for Expressions of Interest, with the aim of developing innovative research questions linked to partner observation systems and the scientific challenges of the OneWater programme. 

The proposals will be presented and discussed collectively during the workshop, fostering a co-construction process between the OneWater programme and the observation systems. The timetable and format for evaluating the proposals will also be discussed during the workshop.
