The ultimate aim of NOSTRUM-DSS Co-ordination Action is to contribute to bridge the gaps between science and real life, in order to provide Dss developers with insight into the language and the needs of policy makers (PMs) and stakeholders, and subsequently to provide PMs effective tools based on an integrated approach for problem solving in the context of IWRM.
The key objectives of this Co-ordination Action are:
-
To establish durable links between scientific institutions, governments, NGOs, SMEs and other stakeholders and improve public awareness on water management;
-
To improve scientific knowledge and applied methodologies in IWRM;
-
To promote the development of suitable Dss tools built upon real needs of policy making in IWRM.
The European Union supports the development of IWRM plans, with stronger stakeholders' participation, pro-poor emphasis and gender sensitivity, and NOSTRUM-Dss will offer support to this policy through its emphasis on the development of useful Dss tools. In short, NOSTRUM-Dss has a strong potential to support and foster the achievement of many EU initiatives and international relation policies, especially with Partner Countries in the Mediterranean through the contribution to the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.
