ENCORA Theme Workshop in Valencia
From 29 November to 1 December this year there will be an ENCORA Conference in Valencia. This conference aims at elaborating a new concept in sharing European knowledge and experience in integrated coastal management: The EUROPEAN COASTAL WIKI DIRECTORY.
The Coastal Wiki will provide a survey of existing coastal knowledge and experience in Europe, with references to the most relevant sources published in the literature and on the Internet. It is intended for use in daily practice by professionals in coastal science, practice and policy. It will be embedded in WIKIMEDIA software, allowing expert users to update the directory at any time with new knowledge. Coastal Wiki should become a major tool for keeping coastal professionals informed of recent developments and new major knowledge sources in their field.
The participants in the Theme Workshop will be invited to reflect on the outline of the Coastal Wiki and to contribute to the content. The contribution of the participants will be acknowledged as author or co-author of one or several articles in the forthcoming directory, describing the main ideas of the state of the art in their field.
