* ERA-Net CRUE SPECIAL SESSION
 The ERA-Net CRUE project, funded within the Sixth EU Framework Programme, introduced structure within the area of European research on flood risk management (FRM). The vision for the ERA-Net CRUE action on flooding is to support and develop an extensive co-ordination and integration of regional, national, and European research programmes, projects and policies in the FRM field.
The second ERA-Net CRUE Research Funding Initiative "Flood Resilient Communities – Managing the Consequences of Flooding" was launched in support of the EU Floods Directive 2007/60/EC, which was introduced as a result of several severe flood events causing loss of life and property. Within this initiative seven international joint research projects with test sites all over Europe are funded and focus on a broad spectrum of issues related to the enhancement of resilience. In conjunction with the Final Symposium of the Funding Initiative, these projects are presented in a special plenary session on Sept. 21st.
Major details on ERA-Net CRUE and the 2nd Research Funding Initiative are available on: http://www.crue-eranet.net.
Projects: DIANE-CM, FIM-FRAME, FREEMAN, IMRA, RISKMAP, SUFRI, UR-FLOOD
