to change this. Therefore adaptive management is truly multidisciplinary with uncertainty, stakeholder involvement, risk attitude and possible future developments (scenarios) as key elements.
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

was not a feasible and practical tool. The tool is
out of their toolbox for groundwater protection. BNs tested
a tool. And the water managers believe that BNs could be
used to test other tools and management actions as well.
One of the strengths of the BNs is that the tool gives the
water managers a visual picture. It presents the complexity, so
that the water managers in their minds can sort out

The stationarity assumption has long
been compromised by human disturbances
in river basins. Flood risk, water supply, and
water quality are affected by water infra-
structure, channel modifications

as numerous partially iterative steps. The adaptive process is laid out in
a way intended to help designers determine the objectives of the participation process and the initial design
context, and make preplanning choices that eventually lead to the selection of suitable participation
mechanisms. There are also design tools that facilitate this work. We discuss how our findings are largely

Review of risk and uncertainty management approaches used in the energy sector; and
Integration of risk and uncertainty in decision support tools. A risk management framework, developed by VTT of Finland, according to the emphasis of the industrial partners, has since been tested and applied in various energy sectors (e.g. hydro
