The LIFE GoodWater IP International Conference “Waterside – A Space for Water, Land and People Interactions: Practices and Challenges in River Basin Management” will take place on October 8–9 this year! The conference will open with a study trip to Tukums area (Kurzeme region, Latvia) where participants will explore several LIFE GoodWater IP demonstration sites. On the second day of the conference, a plenary session and thematic sessions will be held in Riga (Latvia) where LIFE GoodWater IP experts, researchers and practitioners from abroad will present their findings. The conference is organised by the Baltic Environmental Forum–Latvia.

The aim of the conference is to foster the exchange of knowledge and experience for developing management measures in the interaction zones between water, terrestrial ecosystems, and human activities. By exploring the dynamics of diverse waterside environments, the conference seeks to identify improved management approaches, practices, and governance solutions for effective river basin management.

• Participants are invited to submit a summary of their experiences and approaches to ensure exchange of best practices. Please contact Ms. Kristīna Veidemane(Environmental expert at Baltic Environmental Forum–Latvia) at kristina.veidemane@bef.lv if you would like to present your experience on managing interactions within the waterside!
