Workshop

1. Mineral Waters and the Integrated Development of the Local Economies

National Society of Mineral Waters and the Research Center for Integrated Analysis and Territorial Management want to initiate an interactive debate about the possibility of the sustainable exploitation of the mineral water resources, in the national and international context. The 3rd International Conference „Water Resources and Wetlands” is the best opportunity to bring together specialists from different fields of study and to share their ideas.

The workshop theme:

The debates will include possibilities for exploiting mineral waters in the integrated development of local economies. The topics proposed can be classified into the following areas: distribution of mineral resources in Romania, specific structural dynamics of territorial systems with significant mineral resources, the role of health tourism in developing local economies, territorial management systems with specific spa resources.

The workshop objectives:

1. Discussions on the distribution of mineral water resources in Romania.

2. Can mineral resources really contribute to the integrated development of the local economies?

3. Proposals for concrete action.

2. Impact, potential distribution and sustainable management of invasive plant species in protected areas

The Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy and Danube Delta – National Institute for Research and Development propose an interdisciplinary debate about the impacts, potential distribution and sustainable management of invasive plant species in protected areas with a special focus on wetlands (e.g. Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Comana Natural Park, Mureş Floodplain Natural Park). The 3rd International Conference „Water Resources and Wetlands” is a good opportunity for experts from different fields of expertise to exchange knowledge and skills and to develop new research ideas on biological invasions through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.
The workshop theme:
Under the current global environmental changes, biological invasions range among the most critical ecological threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services, thus becoming central issues for the conservation of biodiversity. This is a major topic mainly in the wetland areas, spaces that provide support for numerous habitats. The workshop is aiming to address the key issues of invasive species with a focus on the Danube Basin, as well as the possibility to strengthen the cooperation between the scientific community, protected areas management, policy and decision makers in order to provide transdisciplinary knowledge and solution-oriented management.
The workshop topics:
1. Biogeographical and ecological analysis of invasive plant species
2. Impacts and potential distribution of the main invasive plant species in protected areas
3. Proposals for integrated management, control, eradication and alternative usage of invasive plant species
4. Communication, raising awareness and education on the impacts of invasive plant species in protected areas
Chairman:
Monica Dumitraşcu – Ph.D., Senior Researcher, Deputy Director of the Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy – Workshop coordinator
Ines Grigorescu – Ph.D., Senior Researcher, Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy
Gheorghe Kucsicsa - Ph.D., Scientific Researcher, Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy

USH Probusiness, Bio Danubius Cluster, the Faculty of Engineering, Informatics and Geography – "Spiru Haret" University, and the Professional Association of Geography, Ecology and Tourism "Geographic Destiny" propose on The 3rd International Conference "Water Resources and Wetlands" to be held a workshop on bio economy as the best way to ensure the sustainable development of the Danube Delta taking care of the environmental protection and the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems. The goals of the work shop are to bring to the attention the way the concept of bio-economy may be applied in the unique Danube Delta region. The largest wetland are in Romania, the Danube Delta, could benefit from the experience, the interactive actions, the ideas and the contributions of specialists in the field, gathered at this conference, to develop local bio-economy.

The workshop theme
In the European Union Strategy for Danube Region (EUSDR) context, this workshop aims to aware about the bio-economic potential of the Danube Delta and, through the Bio Danubius Cluster, to provide the bet financing solutions for the sustainable development. The message of the Bio Danubius Cluster is that "in the modern globalized world, where the risks of the unsustainable development model are threating even our survival, we who are related by the Danube can do otherwise, bringing an unique contribution to transform the Danube region in the only alternative of prosperity that people have available, based on the environment and resources protection, the healthy living, the respect and care for generations to come, and the belief that together we are stronger".

The topics:
