The Final Conference of the Interreg-IVB project DiPol will be held in Hamburg, Germany.

Over the past three years the project consortium has comprehensively investigated 4 case studies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany and gained data both, under regular and extreme weather situations. Tools to access and model the impact of climate change on the coastal zone due to loads of rivers with toxic contaminants and mixtures have been applied. All data have been made available in a visualized format through the Web-based Knowledge Platform, one of the mayor deliverables of the project. Moreover, under active participation of local and regional stakeholders the communication and simulation tool SIMACLIM has been developed.

During the conference these project deliverables will be presented and discussed. Stakeholders are invited to participate and to provide feedback on the tools and models in order to allow for a final enhancement until the project’s termination.

Finally the DiPol Documentary – a video filmlet made by students from Norway and Germany, showing the project from their perspective – will be shown for the first time.

The conference program as well as further information is available from the DiPol website.
