Dr Alexander Keucken is currently employed as a Research Manager with Focus onApplied Innovative Water Treatment Technology at VIVAB. Alexander has acquired anextensive range of environmental and technical knowledge over his 20 years of workexperience in the Swedish public water sector, as well as through his engagement withinthe water industry both nationally and internationally. He represents the Swedish Water &Wastewater Association in the committee on drinking water within the EuropeanFederation of National Association of Water Services (EurEau), and is the chair of the JointWorking Group on Innovation within EurEAU. His current work assignments, research andinnovation activities are tightly linked to Water Resources Engineering in the Departmentof Building and Environmental Technology and to Applied Microbiology at Department ofChemistry, Lund University.
“Emerging pollutants and antimicrobial resistance are a serious cross-border health threat that cannot be sufficiently addressed by one
country alone and cannot be confined to a geographical region and hence needs intensive cooperation and coordination
from a global perspective.”

Kia Salin has been working at the Swedish Medical Products Agency as Scientific Directorof Sustainability since 2012. The Swedish Milestone Target – increased environmentalconsideration in EU pharmaceutical legislation and internationally, has been the mainfocus of her work for the last years. The new legislation for veterinary medicinal productsand medicated feeds (2019:6), which has improved the standard regarding antibiotics forveterinary use as well as the ongoing revision of the Guideline on the environmental riskassessment of medicinal products for human use, is showing that the insight is growing inmember states regarding the importance to reduce the emission of active substancesfrom medicines into the environment and to combat antimicrobial resistance.
“Limiting the discharges and emissions of active substances from manufacturing of pharmaceuticals into the environment will
promote the Sustainable Development Goals to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, ensure clean water and
sanitation, and support access to safe and effective medicines in the future.”

that aim to make it easier for Sweden to
achieve their environmental goals.
Formas is also a national representative
for both JPI Oceans and Water JPI.
The Swedish Research Council (VR) is
Sweden’s largest governmental research
funding body, and supports research of
the highest quality within all scientific
fields. In order to provide Swedish
research with the best possible
prerequisites, VR also funds research
infrastructure, both in Sweden and
abroad. VR has a mandate to advise the

EU Joint Programming means the jointplanning of development cooperation bythe EU development partners working in apartner country (https://ec.europa.eu).
Launched in December 2011, the JointProgramming Initiatives “Water challenges
for a changing world”, so called Water JPI(www.waterjpi.eu), tackles the ambitiouschallenge of achieving sustainable watersystems for a sustainable economy inEurope and abroad. The availability ofwater in sufficient quantities and adequatequality is indeed a public issue of highpriority, addressing a complex and globalchallenge. As inter-governmentalcollaborative platform engaging 23countries members, and 8 other partneringcountries, the Water JPI is implementingresearch and innovation actions aroundscientific gaps defined in its StrategicResearch and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). Todate, the Water JPI has supported fivetransnational calls (70 projects for 63million euro), a knowledge hub onContaminants of Emerging Concern andsome other activities (cluster of nationallyfunded projects, information platform onresearch infrastructures or mobilityschemes).
