Vision of a European Centre for Flood and Drought Studies André Paquier, Alain Vidal (e-mail: paquier@lyon.cemagref.fr) 20 January 2003
The Floodaqua Vision : Integration • 3 integration levels • Institutional integration: core institutions willing to build an appropriate management structure, most likely an EEIG • Human integration: researchers of the 8 core group institutions (and in a lesser extent of the ‘2nd circle’) should consider themselves as working for the Virtual Center, and no longer working for their home institutions • Science and excellence integration: jointly executed research will • coordinate with other projects and networks, and • include key-representatives of the scientific community
The Floodaqua Vision : Science • A science plan with 3 components : • Climatic change impact on extreme hydrological events • Droughts • Floods • Varied dissemination strategies to: • Scientific community, stakeholders, students,…
