EPI-WATER

Inspiration beyond the EU group

The Inspiration beyond the EU group is a group of high level scientists from from non-EU countries such as Australia, the US, Chile. This group will bring lessons from the application of innovative Economic Policy Instruments (EPI) in non-EU countries.

They will contribute to

  • defining EPI scenarios that need to be further investigated, and
  • identifying policy and research lessons.
