This workshop is the 3rd in a workshop series connecting young researchers across disciplines, research cultures and continents in the context of the biodiversity and climate crises. Previous workshops focused on Ecosystem-based approaches and forest and wetland restoration. This workshop concentrates on the management and monitoring of large rivers and river basins and will be split in two half days (8:30-12:00 CET). It will include networking sessions as well as breakout groups. Young Researchers will be given the opportunity to introduce their research.
