Following the successful FLOODrisk 2008 and 2012 conferences and following the first round of implementation of the European Flood Directive, FLOODrisk 2016 will bring together researchers, policy makers and practitioners from across the world to share experience and progress made in flood risk research, policy and management practice. As with the previous conferences, FLOODrisk2016 will combine conference and exhibition.

In 2012, we had the privilege to welcome over 550 delegates from 37 different countries, ranging from policy makers, academics to industry representatives. With over 375 abstracts submitted this time, significantly more than for the 2012 FLOODrisk conference in Rotterdam, FLOODrisk 2016 is promising to be the biggest European meeting on flood risk management since 2012.
