A Joint Workshop on Research and Innovation in the context of European Policy Framework Implementation will be held in Brussels 29-31 May 2017. The increased focus on ecological issues in regulated rivers calls for an international understanding on how hydropower industry can be developed towards a more environmentally friendly operation and how European legislation and framework is used to regulate renewable energy production from hydropower.The workshop intends to address the European research and legislation relevant for hydropower production and the impacts on fish in regulated rivers.  The workshop will be followed by a field visit. The workshop will be of interest to hydropower producers, researchers and those involved with river management. All enquiries and registration requests can be addressed to Thomas Schleker (EU Commission) and Hans-Petter Fjeldstad (IEA Hydropower). Download the Draft Agenda...
