Our exciting annual event Confluence 2023 will showcase the impact that some of our key projects are having in the region and beyond.
Have a look at our video from Confluence 2022 to find out more about what the day will be like. In this video, we explain how iCASP works with partners to help them develop solutions to environmental issues within catchments.
Our projects are designed by a unique partnership between academics and practitioners active in catchment management in the region, this will be an opportunity for us to find out how we can work with you in the future.
There will be a chance to join workshops, listen to guest speakers, network, have productive discussions with colleagues and ask questions throughout the event.
We are keen to find out about your priorities, challenges, and new opportunities to use environmental science research to support you.
