Water Lives: scientific horizons for biodiversity and water policy
29 January 2014 - 30 January 2014
Austria
The EU FP7 projects BioFresh and REFRESH will organise a Science-Policy Symposium for Freshwater Life. The symposium offers the opportunity for stakeholders and scientists to discuss challenges to implementing the 2020 Biodiversity strategy and the EU Water Framework Directive and to explore the mechanisms for better integrating freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem science into policy.
The symposium mixes presentations from different perspectives (including Hans Bruyninckx - CEO of the European Environment Agency (EEA), N.N from WWF-UK and contributions from the European Commission) with various interactive elements (e.g. round table dialogues, moderated discussions, panel discussion, poster presentations) to facilitate an intensive exchange between science, policy makers and stakeholders. All participants are warmly invited to actively contribute to the discussions.
