The UK is under constant risk of floods. In order effectively to manage this risk it is important that knowledge and information about flooding and flood processes is exchanged between scientists involved in cutting-edge flood research, and decision makers responsible for the welfare of their communities. Supported by NERC, the Environment Agency and three county councils, Project FOSTER has successfully developed and evaluated communication tools to facilitate this knowledge exchange. Key stakeholders from the scientific and practitioner communities met at this event to focus on communicating and exchanging flood-related knowledge. Presentations are available online.
