By bringing together a broad scientific community developing solutions to promote the adaptability and sustainability of socio-hydrosystems, this seminar aims to build a shared vision and a common analytical framework around the concept of solutions and their expected outcomes.

The SoluTest Targeted Project (PC6) aims to test, at large scale, the effectiveness of selected solutions to ensure the adaptability and sustainability of socio-hydrosystems.
In order to determine which solutions should be studied, the first step is to develop an objective analytical framework to assess their effectiveness.
To achieve this initial objective, collective work will be organized through three seminars dedicated to discussion and reflection. The first seminar, from 13 to 15 November, aims to mobilize knowledge and concepts from the different disciplines represented by the participants, with the objective of building a shared vision and a common framework around the notion of solutions and their expected impacts.
Participants will work together to define key issues and priority questions related to the factors that influence the adaptability and sustainability of socio-hydrosystems, as well as to identify possible trade-offs or divergences between expectations.
The sustainability of socio-hydrosystems may be examined through questions such as:
- For what purpose and for whom?
- What limits depending on the context?
- Over what time horizons?
- To what extent are solutions transferable between territories?
Questions related to adaptability factors will focus on:
- temporal and spatial scales,
- the nature of these factors (environmental, biological, human),
- their degree of control,
- their dependence on current and projected conditions within interacting systems,
- and the trade-offs that may need to be considered.
Defining these contours will make it possible to better identify existing or emerging solutions, and to move towards an objective framework allowing them to be compared in search of balanced trade-offs.
In order to enrich the discussions and anchor them in real-world situations, PC6 also aims to involve colleagues from the operational sphere in these exchanges.
Registration details will be available soon.
