Webinar on Sustainable Water Management in a Changing World: the role of society

19th January 2022, 2pm to 4pm (GMT)

Online

Webinar on Structural Studies and Repairs of Modern and Historical ConstructionsOverview

The world is changing, and not just because of the climate. Current changes occur much faster than they did in the past. Furthermore, the fragmentation of knowledge has made technology very distant from public perception. However, there is evidence that public understanding of the choices made entails their active participation and, ultimately, greater success in the management policies adopted. The webinar presentations showcase success stories in this area.

The webinar will consist of four 20-minute presentations selected among the best papers presented at our 2021 conferences and also include a 30-minute Q&A section at the end for attendees’ questions to be put to the presenters.
