The IRF has recently formed a partnership to deliver a European Riverprize for the first time in 2013. The IRF European Riverprize will celebrate successful approaches that have overcome the challenges to river restoration, ecosystem health, water quality and climate change within the social and political context of the European continent.

Judged by a panel of European experts and administered from the IRF Europe office in Vienna, the first IRF European Riverprize will be awarded in 2013 - International Year for Water Cooperation. The prize will be awarded at the European Centre for River Restoration annual conference in Vienna. Please click here for a list of eligible countries.

Applications will be assessed based on a documented river management framework, evidence of social and economic gains, an integrated approach to river management, long-term vision and demonstrated, outstanding achievements in river ecology.

 The European winner will qualify as an automatic finalist in the Thiess International Riverprize the following year.

Rivers provide many services and restoration can significantly increase those provided by a healthy ecosystem. These services, which should be recognised by decision makers, include flood management, groundwater recharge, pollution control, recreational opportunities and increased property values due to the increasing demand for more natural surroundings.
This lunchtime talk, sponsored by EU Life+ RESTORE partnership, will examine how Europe is working to reconnect our river channels with their natural floodplains, and look at the role that urban regeneration and development is playing in helping to deliver river restoration projects.

Speakers:
Toni Scarr, Project Manager, RESTORE
Martin Janes, Managing Director, UK River Restoration Centre
Yves Herbert, partner and principal designer at Joining Nature and Cities
