The increasing frequency of extreme events such as heavy rainfall, flooding, heat stress, and droughts highlights the profound impact of global warming on the water cycle and calls for integrated solutions.

The HydroExtremes project workshop aims to strengthen societal resilience by connecting practice, policy, and research, identifying knowledge gaps, and developing pathways for sustainable implementation.

Based on a synthesis report, current models, data, and analyses on hydro-meteorological extremes will be presented. The goal is to jointly reflect on key findings and develop perspectives for even closer collaboration between practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.

The workshop will take place on April 14 and 15, 2026, in Berlin.

The Parliamentary Breakfast aims to bring the latest research findings on environmental factors and cancer prevention directly to policymakers. The focus will be on evidence-based approaches to effective prevention, as well as on how scientific findings can be translated into concrete policy measures.

The event is held under the patronage of Sascha van Beek, Member of the German Bundestag (CDU/CSU) and member of the Health Committee, and offers brief insights from research and opportunities for discussion on key areas of action such as air quality, urban development, and UV protection. Attendance is by invitation only.

The event, held in the Forum Flex Format, will feature brief presentations on research and practical applications, as well as an opportunity to discuss national preparedness, warning chains, and international cooperation. It is taking place under the patronage of Bettina Lugk (SPD), Member of the German Bundestag and Vice Chair of the Defense Committee. Attendance is by invitation only.
