Conference on Integrated River Basin Management under the Water Framework Directive

26 - 28 April 2010
Le Nouveau Siècle, Lille, France

The conference will review technical challenges faced by Member States, stakeholder organisations and scientists, while developing the first River Basin Management Plan under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It will focus on aspects of integration, looking at the way cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary co-operation has developed, and how emerging issues such as adaptation to climate changes will be considered in the future.

This event aims to be a forum of exchanges between policy-makers, stakeholders, and scientists on issues that are closely related to the implementation of EU water policies. Discussions will hence not be limited to the WFD, but will open up to related policies concerning, for example, priority substances, groundwater, floods, climate change adaptation, etc.

Who should attend?

• Water professionals, managers and scientists
• Consultants
• Academics
• Local authority and government body representatives
