Posters on CIVILCLIM
In the autumn of 2009, there have been several poster presentations of CIVILCLIM at conferences in Norway and the Netherlands.

Idun A. Husabø and Kyrre Groven at WNRI presented a poster at the Norklima conference organized by the Research Council of Norway 19-20 October 2009 in Bergen. The poster gives a short introduction to preliminary results from CIVILCLIM phase 1 and the case studies that are being carried out in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway as part of the project's phase 2. Together with two other contributions, the poster made by Husabø and Groven was nominated in a poster competition. The final winner was Anita Verpe Dyrrdal from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

Maya van den Berg at CSTM, the University of Twente, presented a poster on her PhD work during the annual School of Management and Governance PhD day, 6 November 2009 at the University of Twente. The CIVILCLIM case study she is carrying out in Rotterdam constitutes some of the empiric basis for her PhD thesis. The poster was also presented in Dutch at the CSTM water symposium, Enschede, 2 October 2009 and in English at the Friends of Science event, The Hague, 2 December 2009.
