Dear friends, We cordially invite you to the 3rd edition of the River University, which will take place from 11 to 15 July 2022 in Estonia with the possibility to join online.
As we all know the source to sea approach takes into account inland waters and their importance for the condition of the Baltic Sea. This year we will visit and learn about the specificity of the Estonian rivers with the main theme of flood risk management.
This new edition of the River University is co-organised and hosted by Maret Merisaar, from the Estonian Water Association and Ewa Leś, founder of River University, with the great help of the CCB Secretariat to ensure the best riverine experience.
Besides the national water issues and examples we will check the European background: - How the situation of flood risk management in Europe looks like recently, having in mind the huge flood devastations happened in some European countries in 2021? - What example does Estonia give us as the country with its so-called 5th season*? - How climate change affects it? - How does society cope with the floods and what is the government's approach?
The registration is opening today, so just make a move and register! 💦
