Expected abstracts

Abstracts on the main themes of stormwater management and according to the 4 proposed approaches.

Scientific and/or technical abstracts


Presentation of methods or research results, linked to operational needs, based on bibliographical analysis, laboratory tests, modelling or in situ monitoring; innovative technical achievements, monitored and put into perspective; operations that have worked for several years, comparisons between different strategies, scales or structures; reflections on governance and the keys to change.

Feedback


Presentation of development operations, urban renewal and architectural projects; presentation of public policies, local planning and animation and mobilisation of inhabitants, strategies of waterwise territories (agglomeration or watershed). These demonstrative experiences will highlight the different issues and the place of stormwater and co-benefits, by integrating several dimensions (technical, economic, financial, historical, regulatory, social, etc.).

Training, pedagogy, teaching


➡️ Share your teaching approaches and materials!

The evolution of practices for integrated water management in the city requires initial and continuing training, in a multidisciplinary and inter-professional approach.
This year, we wish to gather feedback and reflections in a session dedicated to training.

Do you wish to share pedagogical approaches and support, particularly integrated in inter-professional approaches (urban hydrology, civil engineering, urban planning, architecture, landscape, law, etc.)?

Answer the call for abstracts and select in the form the approach "Training, pedagogy, teaching".
In 2023, the Trophies have been renamed to pay tribute to Thierry Maytraud, urban planner and hydrologist, founder of ATM and partner of Novatech since its creation, who left us suddenly in June 2022.
