Welcome to INES project website, here you can find all the details of the INES project, such as:  documents, results, photos, videos, our contact information and of course the latest news on the project. The project in a nutshell

The main purpose of the project is to find and develop solutions to the common crucial problems which were identified during the first INES meeting. These include bio-fouling, finance of demonstration projects and pilots, water quality, ecological aspects and permitting. Additionally, the intention is to contribute to the further development of the production chain in the sector and to bring membrane producers, developers, investors, and other potential funding organizations in better co-operation with EU, national and regional authorities. Regarding the European authorities this exercise is also aimed at bringing Salinity Gradient to the attention of the new European Innovation Agency, the relevant European Topic Centres (for example DG Research, DG Region, DG Environment) but also the related International Bodies.
