International Symposium on River Restoration in Switzerland and Japan: Cutting-edge Research, Practice, and Challenges
河川再生に関する国際シンポジウム

October 10, 2023, Tuesday, at Tokyo Institute of Technology 

Outline
River restoration is the process of managing rivers to restore natural processes and biodiversity, providing benefits to both people and wildlife. Switzerland and Japan have a rich experience in river restoration, having maintained our active communication and collaboration for more than 30 years. Based on this background, this symposium provides an exciting and stimulating opportunity for professionals, practitioners, policy makers and students in the field of river management to inspire further relevant cutting-edge research, collaboration, and practice.
河川再生は自然のプロセスと生物多様性を回復させるために河川を管理するプロセスであり、人と野生生物の双方に利益をもたらします。このような河川再生に関して、スイスと日本は30年以上の豊富な交流実績がある。こうした背景を踏まえ、河川管理分野の専門家、実務家、政策立案者、学生にとって、河川再生の実践や更なる研究を推進するために最新の知見や技術を共有し、社会実装に向けた実質的な連携に関する議論を進めることを本シンポジウムの趣旨とする。
