How to propose a communication?
Expected communications
Scientific communications
These communications make it possible to understand the complexity and evolution of rivers and large rivers, to reveal the environmental and human challenges of these systems in order to inform management choices. These communications will illustrate the added value of interdisciplinarity for understanding and action.
Feedback from experiences
These presentations report on case studies, contexts, strategies or innovative operational achievements, implemented at different spatial and temporal scales, with an analysis and a perspective allowing the transfer and exchange of experiences, or even coupled “scientific-operational” approaches that are the subject of an analysis of the associated environmental and / or societal gains.
Forward-looking reflections
These reflections open up new concepts and make it possible to take into account in their management the complexity of rivers and large rivers and their dynamics.
I.S.Rivers contribution themes
I.S.Rivers 2025 is set in a context of necessary adaptations of socio-hydrosystems in the face of global changes. Abstracts may refer to this context or address it fully.
4 thematic entries are proposed, interacting with each other. Your paper proposal may be single or multi-themed. The key words below will be a source of inspiration for you to propose a topic to be shared with all those involved in river science and management.
RIVER RESTORATION
- Ecological engineering
- Nature-based solutions
- Innovative solutions and
experimentation - Evaluation of actions
- From local to global
CHANGING SOCIO-HYDROSYSTEMS
- Ruptures, discontinuities, transition
- Retro-observation and projection
- Long time, short time
- Geohistory of rivers
- Actions and uncertainties
RIVERS & SOCIETY
- National / Transnational
Governance - Commitment, art and science
- Water sharing and
environmental justice - Citizen science
- Managing resources and uses
- Participatory approaches
- Controversies
- River cities
RIVER FUNCTIONING
- Functionality and services
- Understanding and dealing with
extreme conditions - Landscape quality and quality
of life - Emerging contaminants and
multi-contamination - Multi-scale approach, diagnosis,
recommendations - Biodiversity and invasive
species
Your communication should fall within the theme of I.S.Rivers 2025
The first page of the abstract must include a title and a 10-line summary in French and English, AND an extended abstract of 3 pages. 4 pages maximum for the overall document.
