• bring together national and international experts to share experiences and progress on constructed and natural wetlands; and
• bring together the different research groups working in the field of wetlands to find mechanisms for scientific cooperation.

UNU-FLORES Academic Officer, Dr Tamara Avéllan will present on the development of the Constructed Wetlands Knowledge Platform (CWKP) and try to identify one or several consortia for the upcoming H202 call on nature-base solutions in the CELAC region

Her presentation “Towards a Constructed Wetlands Knowledge Platform.” starts at 9:20 AM, her presentation on “Propuesta H2020 sobre sistemas naturales para el año 2019” will take place at 14:00 PM.
