Panta Rhei

Panta Rhei includes three targets, namely, (1) Understanding, (2) Estimation and prediction and (3) Science in practice. Each target is led by a Target Leader and a Target Co-Leader. Target Leaders are nominated for a biennium and their role is to assist the Panta Rhei Chair in overseeing the scientific activity that is carried out within Panta Rhei and to keep the links with the community. The tasks of the Target Leaders include the identification and preliminary approval of Research Themes and Working Groups (the final approval is formalised by the IAHS Bureau), the organisation of Panta Rhei initiatives (scientific session at conferences, educational initiatives, summer schools etc.) and the synthesis of the activity that is carried out under each target.

The Target Leaders for the Biennium 2013-2015 are:

Panta Rhei has been launched during the IAHS General Assembly held in Gotheborg during July 22-26, 2013. Panta Rhei officially took off on Wednesday, July 24th, when I gave the start-up talk. The powerpoint presentation of the talk can be downloaded here. The video of the talk is available here.

Next steps
Target Leaders for Panta Rhei will be identified soon, on invitation by the IAHS bureau.
A call for research themes (RT) and working groups (WG) has been launched to the IAHS Commissions, and proposals are being received. A public call for RT and WG will also be issued soon on the web site. Please stay tuned and visit us! All the proposals that will be received for RT and WG will be reviewed by the Panta Rhei Chair and Target Leaders in order to ensure coherence and cooperation, and will be finally approved by the IAHS bureau.
