Work Package 5 : Integrated Assessment and the science policy interface
Partner and Description
Harmoni-CA has the role of bridging
the science-policy interface, with respect to river basin
management (RBM), i.e. to generate a dialogue and find a common
understanding between scientists, involved in integrated assessment
and modelling, and policy makers, involved in decision making.
The assumption is that the gap can be
bridged by improving communication between the two communities; by
improving the understanding of the requirements of policy makers and
by improving the quality and application of modelling tools used by
policy makers by encouraging the better use of integrated
participatory modelling and assessment. (read more)
This is the report on an intensive 2 day workshop was held in February 2004 with senior members of the environmental modelling community from across Europe. The role of models to support the participatory elements of the WFD were discussed and to elicit the participants’ recommended research directions for future work in this area.
In October 2003, 15 policy makers from 9 EU and accession states came together in an intensive 2 day workshop to discuss and learn about the use of models to support the participatory elements of the WFD. This report summarizes the results of the workshop.
This document serves as a summary of the Elicitation Strategy carried out by WP5 of the Harmoni-CA project. It summarises the already reported results of the first two workshops of the elicitation strategy series as well to date the unreported analysis of these workshops and the results of the river basin management interviews carried out.
