Second Call for Abstracts for the 10th International Conference on Sewer Processes and Networks (SPN10).

You are a master or PhD student in the field of stormwater management, urban hydrology or ecological engineering? You are interested in how infiltration processes can be transferred into modelling? You want to exchange with students from different countries in your field and get in touch with internationally recognised researchers in the field? Then sign up for the Eco-campus summer school on infiltration processes from July 4th to 6th, 2022 in Lyon, France

The course will provide a holistic view on the usage of NBS to address circularity and circular cities. More than discussing concepts and state-of-the-art, the course will also expand on the different key dimensions key for the implementation of NBS for urban water management. The course will touch upon technical issues from planning (geographical and hydraulic), through design (NBS technology selection) toimplementation (Enhanced Natural Treatment Solutions (ENTS)); as well as viability due to economic aspects and regulatory issues dealing with water quality and ecotoxicology.

Braided rivers in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: distribution and functioning

MULTISOURCE is organizing a virtual Water Projects Europe (WPE) on Nature-based solutions for ecological qualities in cities.

The XIth Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS 2022) will take place in Montpellier (France) from 29 May to 3 June 2022.

Three-day international seminar on the Rhône Valley

25th European Junior Scientists Workshop on Monitoring Urban Drainage systems and rivers

Audience: Anyone working with water systems, student, researcher, or practitioner. This short webinar is an introduction to original on-going activities. It is an opportunity for French or Australian researchers, companies or utilities to learn and connect.

OneWater-Water as a Common Good is a national research and innovation programme that aims to have water recognised as a common good. Co-piloted by BRGM with CNRS and INRAE, this exploratory, "Priority Research Programmes and Equipment"’ action (PEPR) was launched on March 16, 2022. With a budget of 53 million euros over 10 years, it is financed by the fourth "Investments for the Future" programme (PIA4) and the France Relance (recovery) plan.

This seminar focuses on the moving (of) borders of rivers, how hazardscapes have been reproducedthrough history, and the consequences of fixed land-water borders on vulnerabilities and State-community relationships today. It addresses the history of the separation between water and landand of dealing with sediments in a fluid environment.

A day of discussion devoted to climate change and public health, an event organized on the occasion of the French presidency of the Council of the European Union.*

The ecological transition evenings are organized as part of the Worldwide Teach-In world educational conference initiated by BARD college in partnership with several universities around the world. This initiative promotes interdisciplinary exchanges on environmental issues (climate, justice, water, global warming).

In order to disseminate knowledge to as many people as possible, the FCS Rovaltain FEE organises training courses throughout the year on a variety of themes, including health and environment, ecotoxicology and regulations.

From 21 to 26 March 2022, the Lyon Urban School, the graduate school H2O'Lyon and their partners are organising a water week on the theme of groundwater, to match Unesco's World Water Day: an exciting programme in person or online, consisting of webinars, workshops, seminars, performance art, etc. Register now!

Digital Water

Quantifying microplastics in environment – what we can and cannot do today

This day is addressed to :

- Water professionals, territorial stakeholders (local authorities, associations managing environments, State services, etc.), technical and industrial stakeholders (engineering office, companies)

- Scientists, professors and students involved, or curious, in the field of water and hydrosystems sciences

The contribution of physical modelling to the design of sand transport correction structures: the case of the rebalancing programme for the Loire river bed at Nantes.

Within a partnership between Univ. of Lausanne and the University of Lyon (EUR H2O’Lyon) and other universities (e.g., IHE Delft, Ecole des Mines of Saint Etienne), some of our researchers have been working in Génissiat during the last 15 years, on dynamics of instream wood, exploring wood sources within the catchment, notably the sub-basins of the Arve and the Valserine.

International Interdisciplinary Conference on Land Use and Water Quality : Agriculture and the Environment

Knowledge from Sedimentary Archives to Feed the Global Change Debate

In anticipation of what could happen with the sanitary context, as well as to allow international scientists to follow the summer school, we have planned an exclusively virtual session in combination with participants on site. Please note, however, that this virtual attendance will not allow for participation in the 'expertise' slots at the end of each day; there are only for those who will be in person on site.

This summer course is focused on priority and emerging micropollutants in wastewater and waste systems.
The course is in English. It is oriented to PhD students who want to achieve a higher level of specialization in this field, but also to other students or professionals.

Mind the spatial gaps: Addressing hydrologic linkages of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems across scales

First Introductory Webinar of the International Conference.

Building bridges between research and practice: feedback from the Ecotox Centre in Switzerland.

The power of oxygen: Inferring ecosystem processes from river reaches to networks.

Pre-announcement: Joint Call of the European Joint Programme Soil about « Towards Healthy, Resilient and Sustainable Agricultural Soils”

Micropollutants in Water : From the Treatment Plant to the Tap

Water is probably the most precious resource on earth. It provides us with food, hygiene, health, entertainment, energy and goods, and hosts an incredible biodiversity.
How important is water in our lives, cultural practices, economy and environment? How do we define the value of water? Does a better understanding of the value of water help to preserve it?

H₂O'Lyon will celebrate the World Water Day 2021 by organizing seminars and meetings on the theme of this year : #Water2me.

Fishermen, Divers and Sand Miners of the Usumacinta: a journey along the riverbanks of southern Mexico.

H₂O'Lyon is pleased to present this training course open to everyone.

Depending on the Covid situation, the course would be provided at a distance.

Understanding Geomorphic Response of Upland River Systems to Extreme Floods in a Changing Climate: the Case of Thinhope Burn, UK

The symposium is jointly convened by the International Association for Hydro-Environment engineering and Research (IAHR).

A major objective of ISE 2020 is to combine outstanding science and management of aquatic ecosystems.
Note that for ISE 2020 three special sessions will be designed to become special issues of the recently launched "Journal of Ecohydraulics".

This day is addressed to :

- Water professionals, territorial stakeholders (local authorities, associations managing environments, State services, etc.), technical and industrial stakeholders (engineering office, companies)

- Scientists, professors and students involved, or curious, in the field of water and hydrosystems sciences
