Third INSeaPTION User Workshop: adressing the global case study

The third INSeaPTION User Workshop was held in Haarlem, The Netherlands, on Sept 25-26, 2018. The workshop provides a basis to identify key user needs of global users and potential scientific methods that INSeaPTION can develop and apply to address these needs. Global users refer to organisations with global concerns such as international organisations supporting development and adaptation, as well as to users whose activity is distributed in many places worldwide, so that the same type of sea level and impact and information is needed in many places.

 

22 participants from different organisations participated to the workshop. présentations from international organisations (OECD), coastal consulting or reinsurance companies (Royal Haskonning, Deltares, Munich Re), energy supply industry (Electricité de France) presented their views on future potential coastal climate services supporting their activies. Then, break-out groups further discussed needs of sea level and coastal impacts information to support adaptation of critical infrastructures (e.g. Thames River Estuary). The workshop was openened and concluded by Robert Nicholls, scientific Advisor of the INSeaPTION project. Three INSeaPTION project partners were involved in the organisation of this event: IMAU (Erwin Lambert and Roderik Van De Wal), GCF (Sandy Bisaro), and BRGM (Gonéri Le Cozannet).
