This is a small informal meeting focused around several full-length talks, workshops and a lot of unstructured conversation, as a contrast to the frenzy of 15-minute talks and countless posters at EGU. The overall theme is "How to inspire the next generation of hydrologists through science".
Confirmed speakers are Kamini Singha, Marc Bierkens and Ayan Fleischmann after an introduction by Günter Blöschl. Please find here the programme. finden sie hier. Updates will be posted at www.waterresources.at, opens an external URL in a new window, under News.
The symposium has been modelled after the Berkeley Meeting Jim Kirchner has been organising in the past years, and we have held similar meetings after EGU since 2010.
Doors will open at 8:30 AM with coffee, pastries and greetings. The meeting will start at 8:45, featuring ~35 minute talks and extended discussion, with breaks for lunch and snacks. The afternoon session will include small group discussion sessions to allow more in-depth discussion. The day will finish off with an exchange of group findings, followed by drinks and dinner.
