In the framework of the NOSTRUM-Dss (Decision Support System), a project related to water resources management, the Science and Policy Workshop took place in Bari, Italy, on 15-16 February. PAP/RAC participated as a partner institution in the project. The objective of the workshop was to discuss the draft Guidelines for DSS design and implementation, as one of the main outputs of the project. PAP/RAC invited also a stakeholder from Croatia, namely, the main organisation dealing with water resources management in the country, i.e. the Croatian Waters, whose representative attended this meeting as the reflection of the users of these Guidelines was crucial. In the discussion, proposals for the improvement of the document were given, as well as proposals for the follow-up activities. The Final Disseminantion Conference of the project will take place in September, in Cyprus.
