Invitation to the meeting "Science meets Administration: Interreg Lakes Connect in search of common goals.

About the Lakes Connect Project:

The project partners include renowned institutions from Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland. Together, we are seeking innovative solutions to minimize the impact of tourism on the cleanliness of lakes and developing inter-institutional approaches to mitigate the negative impact of tourism on water resources.

Programme and purpose of the meeting:

The meeting is aimed at scientists from various fields and representatives of public administration. It will focus on communication between these two groups of potential collaborators.

Key points of the meeting:

1. Presentations on collaboration between science and administration, new projects, and the benefits of such collaboration, based on experiences from Lakes Connect (LC).
2. Workshops titled "Together – How? UW Experiences in Collaboration with Local Governments and NGOs in Research Projects," led by Dr. Anna Nicińska and Dr. Sylwia Dudek-Mańkowska, addressing effective communication between scientists and public administration.

During the meeting, we will not only present theoretical aspects of collaboration but also create an opportunity to discuss practical perspectives, exchange conclusions, and constructively build effective relationships between the scientific community and public administration.
