IMMERSE Transnational Exchange Lab a great success!
The first IMMERSE Transnational Exchange Lab was a great success! On 12 and 13 June over 60 participants joined together to discuss a range of estuary-related topics and to network. In addition to two plenary sessions, the programme included four interactive workshops:
- Sediment management: the Port of Gothenburg
- Sediment management:
- Governance
- Flood protection
The photos that were taken during the Lab are available here.
The list of participants (including contact information) is available here. A workshop report including key outcomes from the discussions, is available here.
Please be sure to follow IMMERSE on Twitter and LinkedIn, in order to stay informed of the latest project news. We will share information on future Exchange Labs via these channels, including plans for the next Estuary Exchange Lab tentatively scheduled for March 2020 in the Netherlands.
