== WssTP initiation, mission and vision == WssTP is the Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform. WssTP was initiated by the European Commission in 2004 for Research and Technology Development in the water industry and was transformed into an independent legal entity under Belgian Law in 2007. WssTP is a membership-based organisation that relies on its members’ contributions to sustain its activities. In 2013, WssTP was reconfirmed as one of the best-performing (European Technology Platforms ) (ETPs) in line with the new (ETP2020 strategy ). WssTP strives to: * Improve coordination and collaboration on RTD and Innovation in the water sector * Enhance the competitiveness of the EU water sector, * Contribute to solving the EU’s water-related societal challenges WssTP’s vision is to make the European water sector a leading center of expertise for providing safe, clean and affordable water services while protecting nature by 2030. ''‘By 2030 the European water sector will be regarded as the global leader in the provision of safe, clean and affordable water and sanitation.’'' Water is by its nature a broad, diverse, and transversal issue that plays a role in very many sectors, research fields, and policy areas. This fragmentation in the water sector is explicitly identified by WssTP as a hurdle to a common research and innovation strategy and this is why WssTP is trying to effectively address it by bringing together the main actors of the water sector and increasing the European scientific and technological cooperation on water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WSSTP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
