Launch of the 3rd OneWater – Eau Bien Commun Call for Proposals

As part of its mission to structure and foster water research, OneWater – Eau Bien Commun is launching its 3rd call for proposals, aimed at supporting original, innovative, and interdisciplinary research projects.

This call is open to scientific consortia composed of at least three French higher education institutions and/or research organisations, or national research bodies, coming from at least two distinct academic sites. It seeks to encourage cross-disciplinary, systemic, and interdisciplinary approaches, aligned with one or more of the scientific challenges of the OneWater – Eau Bien Commun programme.

The selected projects are expected to strengthen understanding of water-related issues, foster interactions between scientific disciplines, and provide scientific responses to contemporary water challenges.
