River Restoration to Support Effective Catchment Management - Stakeholder Workshop

Event: Workshop
Date: 26 - 27 February 2013
Location: Brussels, Belgium

The technical and interactive Stakeholder Workshop on River Restoration to Support Effective Catchment Management will be held on 26 and 27 February 2013 at the Hotel Silken Berlaymont in Brussels. The workshop is planned as an interactive event with breakout sessions on different topics and the different types of rivers and pressures across Europe. This interactive format will allow stakeholders to provide feedback on the tools to be developed and the key problems REFORM should address to support the development of River Basin Management Plans.

Specifically, it should serve as a platform for consultation and exchange between REFORM scientists, European technical experts working on river degradation and restoration, and members of the WFD CIS WG A Ecological Status (ECOSTAT).

Within the project "Restoring River for Effective Catchment Management" (REFORM), external communication and dissemination plays an important role in achieving its overall goal. This report defines the overarching communication and dissemination objectives of the project.

REFORM Communication and Dissemination Strategy

Publication:Report

The deliverable 'Inventory of River Restoration Measures: Effects, Costs, and Benefits' was published in January 2014 as part of the FP7 REFORM project. Scientists at Ecologic Institute led the work in collaboration with several European partners, including economists and ecologists. The information in the deliverable will help river basin managers by providing examples of how representative data on the costs and benefits of river restoration can be gathered and analysed to support the drafting of programmes of measures for the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive. The deliverable is available for download.

Publication:Website

The REFORM project provides tools to support cost-effective implementation of river restoration measures and monitoring. The Ecologic Institute is responsible for concept, design, programming and content of the project website which aims to be the central platform for collaborative writing. The internal area provides access to drafts, discussions and a list of all partners working on that project. The website also offers a feedback forum where visitors may respond to activities and discussion meetings. Furthermore the website offers an overview and detailed fact sheets about study sites with an interactive map displaying the locations. All results, news and events related to the project can be found on the website.
