Flood Risk 2020 : Science and practice for an uncertain future

Date(s): 
Monday, August 31, 2020 to Friday, September 4, 2020
Lieu de l'événement: 
Budapest

The gradual but uncertain changes challenge both flood risk management science and practice:

  • what do we know about these changes, and how to take them and the related uncertainties into account in our methods?
  • and how to cope with uncertainty and change in practice?

The first may require the application of new technologies for monitoring, to exploit big and real-time data, as well as the development of new methods for risk analysis and decision support. The second may require practical guidance for building resilience, views on gradual adaptation into the future or an action perspective for managing a transition of our flood risk management policies. In this context we, obviously, relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recently adopted by the UN (2016) and to the Sendai agreement on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). And, habitually for all FLOODrisk conferences, we are committed to the EU-Directive on Flood Risk Assessment and Management.

This challenge of scientific innovation and practical adaptation is too big for the current generation of scientists and practitioners. FLOODrisk2020 is therefore committed to attract, coach and listen to the next generation of scientists and practitioners who will future-proof our research methods and help to improve our flood risk management practice in order to better cope with deep uncertainty.
