We hereby would like to cordially invite you to the “Danube Awareness Day” in Vienna on 13th September 2018 from 09:00-13:00 hrs.

The event takes place in conjunction with the 9th Meeting on the Follow-up of the Joint Statement, which starts right after in the same venue (invitations sent out yesterday by the ICPDR). The Danube Awareness Day is an official event under the Austrian Presidency of the EU Council and is being prepared and organised by the DanubeSTREAM project consortium.

Purpose - The main purpose of the meeting will be to present and discuss good practices in waterway management, that allow an equilibrium between good ecological and good navigation status. Such good practices are currently being compiled in the framework of the Danube STREAM project. Common experiences and lessons learned after 11 years of Joint Statement will be shared and discussed with a series of renowned speakers and panellists. The agenda for the Danube Awareness Day is here.
