The Sustainable City 2010
This Sixth International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability aims to address the many inter-related aspects of the urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and crime prevention. The meeting will build on the contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions. Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems, that continue to grow in our society, require the development of new solutions.

Integrated River Basin Management Conference
The conference will review technical challenges faced by Member States, stakeholder organisations and scientists, while developing the first River Basin Management Plan under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It will focus on aspects of integration, looking at the way cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary co-operation has developed, and how emerging issues such as adaptation to climate changes will be considered in the future. This event aims to be a forum of exchanges between policy-makers, stakeholders, and scientists on issues that are closely related to the implementation of EU water policies. Discussions will hence not be limited to the WFD, but will open up to related policies concerning, for example, priority substances, groundwater, floods, climate change adaptation, etc.

Rationale: Fuel discussions about challenges concerning the delivery of services to users while developing innovative business models. The event is targeted at the Baltic States, the Nordic countries, Russia and the whole of Europe on common ground to exchange views, learn from each other, stimulate new partnerships and join forces in the satellite services sector. The conference will demonstrate how satellite services contribute to sustainable economic development of the regions. The conference agenda contains discussions and information exchange on the challenges ahead from the user perspective. Distinguished speakers will present possible solutions provided by existing and planned space applications in the areas of earth observation, satellite positioning and navigation. The conference elaborates on platforms like GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) and how to integrate regions into the GMES Programme. The in-depth discussions will deal with LBS (Location-based services) business opportunities, understanding the needs of users, and creating revenue. Specific sessions in the conference will be devoted to benefits from the European flagship Galileo, and how the constellation will change business and science in the future.

As recent mega-disasters and crises have shown, risk management from a single perspective is no longer adequate to address the complex threats to today’s society. The conference will address different kinds of risks, disasters and crises. A truly integrated and participative approach is planned to ensure that the valuable lessons learned about risk reduction from a wide spectrum are applied correctly to create safer, more resilient and thus sustainable societies for the benefit of communities, countries, and regions.

Novatech 2010
The main focus of this 7th International Conference on Sustainable Techniques and Strategies for Urban Water Management is sustainable solutions for management of wet-weather flows in constructed areas (i.e. urban and suburban areas). The conference covers both stormwater management and CSOs. Urban water management under wet-weather conditions faces more and more diverse challenges: protection against flooding and erosion, enhancement of receiving water quality, reduction of sanitary risks, but also opportunities such as stormwater harvesting, use of stormwater for improving the urban landscape or for improving the urban microclimate, as well as the role of ecocitizenship. Moreover, increasing demands on the quality of receiving bodies and of water resources, the worsening of anthropomorphic impacts, as well as likely changes in climate, are adding more complexity to the process. These evolutions lead to a diversification of the required expertise, the scales considered, the criteria of evaluation and the technical solutions proposed. Perspectives beyond traditional urban drainage are required.
