The course on utilizing economic analyses in water resource planning in Kaunas, Lithuania, brought together an international group of 33 participants. The course was organized by Kaunas University of Technology, Danish National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) and Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE).
During the two-day training, the group consisting of e.g. researchers and river basin authorities with various backgrounds familiarized themselves with fundamentals of environmental economics and requirements set by the Water Framework Directive.
