The Symposium will be a forum for presenting information about the state of rivers, highlighting important problems, and bringing examples and initiatives that improve the protection and restoration of rivers. Above all the Symposium will focus on building connections between institutions, organisations and companies with an interest in rivers and whose activities affect the health and quality of river water and ecosystems.The Symposium will highlight the changes to rivers and specific actions that have been brought about by the European Legislation (the Water Framework Directive) and most importantly the possibilities and opportunities presented by the European Green Deal and European Biodiversity Strategy. These new initiatives provide a significant basis for strengthening the efforts and actions to protect and restore rivers and their associated ecosystems and to ensure that rivers can continue providing services and benefits to people. The Symposium will focus on:<ol><li> Providing dynamic panels and discussions that ensure dialogue and interaction among participants. </li><li> Ensuring active involvement of sectors which have a big impact on rivers (i.e. agriculture, producing industry, water utilities, energy, navigation, tourism).</li><li> Providing an integrated perspective on ecological river restoration to implement the Water Framework Directive and its related Directives.</li></ol>Participants can purchase single day or two-days tickets and can choose which parallel sessions they would like to attend. Additional information regarding the conference meeting will be provided on a later stage to all participants who have registered and purchased a ticket.
