Water4All will address all dimensions of Water security according to the UN Water definition External link.:
- The protection of livelihoods and human rights;
- The safeguard of human health;
- The conservation and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity;

- The protection of society and related infrastructures against natural hazards;
- Collaborative approaches to transboundary water management;
- Good governance.
Establishing a shared Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) is a critical preliminary step to form the scientific roadmap for all activities carried out in the Partnership over its whole duration: joint transnational calls for projects, transfer projects, maturation calls, knowledge hubs, science-policy interface, capacity building, demonstration activites...
The SRIA has been developed by a Working Group bringing together representatives of the European Commission and main water-related initiatives, networks of experts and associations in Europe (Water JPI External link., EurAqua External link., EurEau External link., Aqua Publica Europea External link., Water Europe External link., European Water Association External link.).
