Many current water-related RTD projects have established operational links with practitioners, which allow the needs of policy makers to be taken into account. However, RTD results are not easily available to water policy implementers and research scientists may lack insight in the needs of policy makers and implementers (i.e. the European Commission and water managers). The SPI-Water project worked out a number of concrete actions to bridge these gaps in communication by developing and implementing a 'science-policy interface', enhancing the use of RTD results in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) implementation. This project is part of a wider EC perspective aiming to bridge the gap between science and policy, specifically with respect to the WFD implementation. As a first action, existing science-policy links are investigated. RTD and LIFE projects that are of direct relevance for the implementation of the WFD are identified and analysed. Secondly, an information system (Harmoni-CA's WISE RTD Web Portal) has been further developed to cater for an efficient and easy to use tool for dissemination as well as retrieval of RTD results. As third action, this science-policy interfacing of WFD related topics are extended to non-EU countries taking into account their specific needs.
目前许多与水相关的研发项目已与从业者建立了业务联系，这使得政策制定者的需求能够得到考虑。然而，水政策实施者难以获取研发成果，并且研究科学家可能对政策制定者和实施者（即欧盟委员会和水资源管理者）的需求缺乏深入了解。SPI-Water项目制定了一系列具体行动，通过开发和实施“科学-政策接口”来弥合这些沟通差距，加强研发成果在《水框架指令》（WFD）实施中的应用。该项目是欧盟更广泛愿景的一部分，旨在弥合科学与政策之间的差距，特别是在WFD实施方面。作为第一步行动，对现有的科学-政策联系进行了调查。确定并分析了与WFD实施直接相关的研发和LIFE项目。其次，进一步开发了一个信息系统（Harmoni-CA的WISE研发网络门户），以提供一个高效且易于使用的工具，用于传播和检索研发成果。作为第三步行动，考虑到非欧盟国家的具体需求，将与WFD相关主题的这种科学-政策对接扩展到这些国家。
