DESAL+: Macaronesian platform for the enhancement of excellence in desalination R&D and knowledge of the desalinated water-energy nexus

Despite having an outstanding fleet of desalination plants, unique in the world for its variety and size, the Cooperation Area does not have a cohesive group of researchers to respond to the needs of the sector. It is necessary to focus on R&D&I in desalination (water supply and agricultural use), deepen the water-energy nexus and allocate resources in a coordinated manner to address innovative solutions and demonstration projects related to water desalination technologies and the applied use of renewable energies, in line with the priorities of the RIS3 and EU Blue Growth. DESAL+ proposes:

  • Create a joint research platform in the Cooperation Area.
  • Modernise, rationalise, strengthen and make visible the desalination infrastructure; associated with R&D&I.
  • Develop innovative solutions and demonstration projects.
  • Increasing the training of researchers and joint participation in European and international cooperation projects.
