Hydrological Extremes, Coasts and Risk Management

On World Water Day 2023, CREW opened its Register of Expertise for those working in the water sector. Funded by RESAS, Scottish Government, this digital platform will be a valuable tool to access knowledge on ‘who does what’, connecting opportunities for research and innovation with capability and building a network of expertise from academia, industry, regulation and policy.

In February 2023, CREW attended the two-day Flood Risk Management Conference hosted by Sniffer in Perth. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Water Resilient Places’ both from a policy and on the ground actions perspective. The hybrid conference included attendees from local and national government, research and higher education institutes, as well as relevant experts from consultancies.

One week to go until World Water Day 2023 on 22^nd March. Scotland joins the global water community with a hybrid event on the theme of ‘Accelerating Change through Partnerships and Cooperation’.

This conference aims to explore emerging trends and opportunities for water to act as a catalyst for accelerating change.

The Hydro Nation Energy Innovation Programme provides knowledge exchange to support low carbon Research and Innovation with Scottish Companies in the water industry.

The Scottish Government Hydro Nation Strategy is committed to making Scotland a 'Hydro Nation' where water resources are developed to bring the maximum benefit to the Scottish economy.
