The government of Flanders is pleased to invite you to the international Symposium on Soil Erosion: Connecting Science, Policy and Practice. On 5 and 6 December 2019, one of the major causes of declining soil and water quality within Europe will be tackled in three thematic sessions.

The audience targeted are policy-makers, researchers and stakeholders.After the international sessions, a session in Dutch on Friday afternoon will focus on the current soil erosion policy in Flanders and the latest developments, insights and experiences.The symposium is free of charge but registration is mandatory.<h2>PROGRAMME :Thursday 5 December</h2>9:00	Welcome and registration9:45	Opening<h3>Session 1: Assessing soil erosion: where, how much and what about the future?</h3>10:00	Mapping and monitoring soil erosion at EU and international level Panos Panagos (JRC, European Commission)10:45	Different approaches to assess soil erosion - Sediment connectivity at multiple scale Olivier Cerdan (BRGM, France)- Filling the gap between plot and landscape scale – what do we learn from long-term erosion monitoring in 14 small adjacent watersheds under soil conservation Peter Fiener (Universität Augsburg, Germany)- Using fallout radionuclides and multiple tracers to quantify the sources and the dynamics of sediment in river catchments Olivier Evrard (Université Paris-Saclay, France)- Climate Impacts on soil erosion &amp; muddy flooding at 1.5°C vs 2°C Warming Donal Mullan (Queen’s University Belfast, UK)13:15	Lunch<h3>Session 2: Can policy protect the soil against erosion?</h3>14:15	Relationship between CAP and erosion and the state-of-play of the new CAP negotiationsOlivier Maes (DG Environment, European Commission)15:00	Erosion policies at country and regional level- Soil erosion policy in Switzerland Ruedi Stähli (Federal Office for the Environment, Switzerland)- Approach on water nuisance and soil erosion in the South of Limburg (Netherlands): policy and practice Harrie Winteraeken (Waterschap Limburg, Netherlands)- Erosion policy and the use of erosion maps in Flanders Martien Swerts (Departement Omgeving, Belgium)17:00	Closing remarks17:15	Reception<h2>PROGRAMME: Friday 6 December</h2>8:30	Welcome and registration9:00	Opening<h3>Session 3: State of play in erosion control measures.
