We are inviting all partners, academics, stakeholders and those with an interest in catchment management and any of our projects to join us. This will be an opportunity for us to showcase the valuable impact that some of our key projects are having in the region and to discuss our plans for moving forward with iCASP.

As our projects are designed by partnerships of academics and experts from organisations active in catchment management, we have invited some of our partners along to speak at our event about the benefits of our work.

The event will also include updates from our project leads and discussions about regional challenges and opportunities. There will be workshops with the themes - Climate and Net Zero, Energy, Green Finance, and Nature Recovery – and how these relate to catchment management.

You will have the chance to ask questions throughout the event and network with colleagues. Lunch will be provided.
