MOST-BMFTR: The German Israeli Water Technology Cooperation

RA mandatory submission: 1.7 | MOST submission: 8.7

Invite proposals for bilateral R&D projects with focus on solutions to the water problems in Israel and its surrounding area and/or Germany.

The research should be multidisciplinary and be applicable to the needs of the water sector. In addition to scientific partners, projects should preferably include industrial partners as well as related stakeholders.

Israeli partners may include researchers from neighboring states and areas in their proposed research teams if the relevance of the expected project results may be increased thereby.

Research projects will be carried out in the following research area:

• Innovations in water technologies and water systems

The objectives of the German-Israeli Water Technology Cooperation Program are as follows:

• Develop innovative solutions to water challenges in Israel and its surrounding region and/or Germany, with transferability to comparable regions.
• Catalyze industry adoption of cutting-edge water and environmental technologies.
• Support and strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the water sector as well as cooperation between science and industry.

Funding: 250K EUR (~950K NIS for 3 years)

Please note: BMFTR and MOST will consider providing a grant that covers the travel expenses for one short visit of one of the potential research partners to either Israel or Germany, for the purpose of preparing the joint proposal. Such grants will not exceed 1,500 Euro. Potential research partners interested in such a travel grant may submit their informal request by e-mail to the relevant contacts in Germany or Israel.
