This document describes the WATER RtoM project which aims to speed up the transfer of water-related research outputs to better implement EU water directives. The project is led by the International Office for Water in France along with partners from Spain, Poland, and Romania. It seeks to identify practitioner needs, boost output transfer, and promote innovations to help achieve good ecological water body status by 2021. The project will survey outputs, assess their market viability, develop business plans for 30 outputs, and promote matches through events and an e-platform to bridge the gap between research and implementation.
