The workshops are interactive and cater for professionals from all roles in building physical and social resilience. Events are mostly face to face and occasionally online.

Project Significance
Building flood resilience requires a broad mix of different discipline skills to address the complexity of the issue.
From a catchment scale, to neighbourhood and to household scales requires ecologists, engineers, town planners, architects and social specialists to combine their skills and this a key feature of the Flood CoP.
Learning from each other, building trust and then collaborating. As a result this work underpins success needed for the achievement of SDG 6, 11 and 13.
