The NWO research and innovation programme Urbanising Deltas of the World (UDW) has launched a new call for proposals (€3M), which aims to fund projects that address business challenges in deltas in developing countries. UDW invites interested parties to apply for preliminary proposals, which can be submitted until 16 March 2015. Please note that it is not mandatory to have submitted an Expression of Interest.

Also a short report on the UDW roadshows has been published. The roadshows in which more than 100 people participated, were organised in November 2014 with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The report explains how the suggestions that were put forward have been accommodated in the call.

For parties that are searching for consortium partners, UDW offers the possibility for matchmaking, via the networks of the Netherlands Water Partnership and the Delta Alliance international. If you are interested, please send an email to: udw(at)nwo.nl.
