The PhD course is organised by NONAM in association with FIVA, the International Research School of Water Resources. In addition to PhD students, young researchers and professionals with interest in the topic may also benefit from following the course.
The PhD course will provide a thorough introduction to adaptive management and present the participants for methodologies and tools related to the four key areas:
- scenario building
- stakeholder involvement
- risk attitude
- uncertainty assessments
The course will comprise a combination of lectures and exercises. The exercises will be based on two case studies, one on water resources management and another on a national road sector. The excercises will collectively cover the entire adaptive management procedure.
