This open international conference is intended as an arena for discussions around recent findings in the field of integrated water resources management (IWRM). This conference will show the major findings from the EC-funded FP6 project STRIVER (www.striver.no)

The conference is open and external oral presentations are highly encouraged. Contributions from researchers, water managers, river basin planners and policy makers are particularly stressed.

Besides oral presentations in plenary and parallel session, break-out working groups discussing various IWRM-issues will ensure active participation of all attendance.

 

Examples of questions addressed at the conference are:

 

•         How to use research results in operational water management?

•         How can the science-policy interactions and stakeholder participation be strengthened?

•         What are the lessons learnt and tools in IWRM?
