  1. Co-Reach River Basin Governance: IRBM in the European Union and China (RiBaGo) http://www.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/ribago/

  2. River Basin Governance:IRBM in the EU and China (RiBaGo)Aims ..to study European structures for water management, to help understand key water governance challenges and attempts to solve them. .. workshops and research will offer an interdisciplinary, international platform to integrate natural science knowledge and social science research in IBRM, focusing on public policy, regulatory frameworks, institutional change, distributional equity, sustainability, and social impact. ..to analyse drivers, constraints and processes of integration in river basin management in both the EU and China, by: (i) exploring the history of IBRM in the EU through appraisal of its various interacting institutional strategies, its development of trans-boundary river basin institutions, and its relationship to scientific research needs; (ii) assessing the need for IBRM in China, the constraints which limit the capacity to improve its water environment, and the potential for learning from the European experience and adapting it.

  3. Co-Funding Developments (i) UK Economic & Social Research Council International Training and Networking Opportunities Especially Early Career Researchers (ii) International Institute of Macau/Macau Foundation Support for involving additional Chinese participants (iii) EU-China River Basin Management Programme Support for participation of Chinese and European water management practitioners (Simon Spooner) (iv) Fundação Portuguesa para a Ciência e Tecnologia Support for André Silveira to do research on the topic in between the workshops Enabling an extension to length of project (to 30 months), and three full workshops of 35-45 participants, each with a mix of academics, practitioners, senior, PostDocs, graduate students.

  4. Workshop 1 Macau-Guangzhou (Nov 2009) General overview of river basin management institutions Held partly at IIM (Mr Rufino Ramos), partly at SunYatSen Univ (Professor Chen Xiaohong). Mainly based on presentations, with some participation in break-out groups.

  5. Workshop 2 Cambridge (August 2010) Focus on local-scale institutional partnerships in water management Case study of the Fens of Eastern England (field trip and presentations by stakeholders) Similar mixture of participants and presentations, but greater emphasis on discussion. Some emphasis on research methods (ESRC).

  6. Workshop 3 Beijing-Miyun-Zhengzhou (Aug-Sept 2011) Focus on higher-level institutions – government departments, government-province interactions, role of river basin commissions. Focus on “learning” processes Also a focus on climate adaptation. Field trips - to Miyun; watershed protection and water supply: and for some, thanks to the EU-China RBMP, to Zhengzhou and the Yellow River.

  7. Other activities ResearchGate Website All Workshop materials, other documents, discussion threads Over 70 users International Journal of River Basin Management May be willing to publish a set of papers from the RiBaGo group; we will discuss these on Friday Workshop at TU Delft Organised by Sandra Junier, Eric Mostert Focus on local-scale institutions in environment similar to the Fens ESF Workshop on Water Governance Claudia Pahl-Wostl (University of Osnabrueck) Several contributions by RiBaGo participants.
