We invite partners from our scientific community, as well as policy makers, water managers, spatial planners, lawyers, and other stakeholders involved in spatial flood risk management to submit an abstract for oral presentations at the conference.

Young academics are especially welcome and are strongly encouraged to participate! PhD students are invited also apply for a special PhD-workshop that is organized during the conference.
