During the conference there were discussed the issues concerning flooding risk, preventive spatial planning, and the requirements in the scope of balanced water management on the international level.
The conference was divided into two thematic blocks: “The flood risk management at the International Basin Area of Oder River” and “The requirements for sustainable water management on the international level”, then divided into the following sessions:
2. Risk and flood danger in the Oder river basin
3. Hydraulic engineering and ecology according to spatial planning
4. Further implementation of the Flood Directive
5. Monitoring

The conference functioned as a platform for disseminating the knowledge in the scope of Flood Directive Implementation, flood safety,as well as technical infrastructure planning in flood protection in the connection to the spatial planning and fulfilling the requirements of Water Framework Directive.
Additionally, the conference was accompanied by an exhibition of art works. The authors were children, the laureates of “River in the eye of a child” contest, organized in 2010 by ICPO. The contest was addressed to the 4th-grade pupils from randomly chosen primary schools in Lower Silesian Voivodship.
