18th "Europe-INBO 2020" International Conference
for the Implementation of the European Water Directives
The European health situation, and the many restrictions on movement between countries that currently exist, do not allow international conferences to take place. It is therefore in virtual format, and for the first time, that the 18th International EUROPE-INBO Conference was organized - for the first time completely online, on 9 and 10 November 2020.
The sessions were particularly well attended despite these special circumstances, and INBO was pleased to have registered more than 306 registrations from 47 countries. We thank our members and partners for their mobilization and active participation in our work.
The proceedings were adapted to these particular circumstances :
