| Description | Talk entitled: "Simulation and visualisation of impacts of flooding and the selected other research at the Exeter Centre for Water Systems" at Eawag/ETH Zurich |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | The research group at Eawag (about 15 people) attended this presentation. The outcome - in addition to parallel activities during Prof Djordjevic visit to Zurich - was the submission of a major £1.5m proposal to EPSRC International Centre-to-Centre scheme between the Exeter Centre for Water Systems and Eawag at ETH Cluster Zurich. The proposal is shortlisted, received very good reviews, and funding decision will be made on the EPSRC panel to be held in April 2019. |
