RRC Conferences
A River Restoration Network Conference (normally two days of presentations and a site visit on the third) is held in April of each year to further RRC's commitment to broadening the river restoration network and to provide a forum for river restoration practitioners to share their experiences. Twelve Annual Network Conferences have been held to date. For the programme of events for each year please click below.

2012 - University of Nottingham

2012's Conference will be held on the 19th and 20th of April and is organised in association with the EU LIFE+ RESTORE project.

This year the main sessions focus on the nuts and bolts of restoration and enhancement techniques, managing partnerships and projects, and money matters. The event will include presentations from Philip Weller (Executive Secretary of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River) and on Defra’s £25M Catchment Restoration Fund. On the second day, morning and afternoon workshop sessions will launch RRC’s ‘PRAGMO’ monitoring guidance and RESTORE’s knowledge management wiki tool to share best practice EU river restoration.
