FRIEND (Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data) is an international research programme within the framework of IHP. Its objective is to study the spatial and temporal variability of hydrological regimes on a European scale and in other regions outside Europe. Originally initiated in Northern Europe, FRIEND has developed into a worldwide network of similarly structured projects. Today about 140 countries in different parts of the world participate in this programme.
EURO-FRIEND has evolved into a well-developed network of hydrologists, who are implementing an active research programme within five scientific project groups:
Project 1: European Water Archive
Project 2: Low Flow and Drought
Project 3: Large-scale Variations in Hydrological Characteristics
During this meeting, we will review the latest advances of the group, identify emerging challenges, and discuss potential funding sources (research grant, PhD, etc...).
This meeting is open to existing members of the EURO-FRIEND Project-3 and scientists from diverse disciplines wishing to join our discussion (and the group).
