The ‘Flood modelling & forecasting challenges in industry’ workshop is part of 
the EPSRC-funded project SEAMLESS-WAVE and is supported by TWENTY65. It will 
bring together practitioners and scholars in the field, aiming to identify and 
discuss timely issues in operational-scale flood modelling and forecasting.  

The workshop will be to gain insights into felt industrial and practical 
needs, that require further addressing in academic research. The focus will be 
on the themes: 

- improving operational-scale flood mapping and forecasting, and 
- flood resilience metric production including human response components
  
The workshop will be facilitated by a series of invited talks by experts 
on subjects, which include hydraulic modelling and engineering, 
uncertainty quantification, flood-incident emergency response and 
management, and resilient engineering. 
 
A direct outcome of the workshop will be an online document summarising 
the talks and capturing the ideas formed during a workshop’s breakout session. 
This document will then be used as a starting point to develop a multi-authored 
contribution for publication, while seeking the feedback from the workshop’s 
speakers. 
 
The themes of the workshop are expected to interest researchers focused on 
flood model development, testing, application and validation for real-
world applications, as well as those interested in flood resilience 
quantification at urban-scale. 

 
We invite you to join us at this workshop if you are interested in 
broadening your views into those of end-users and practitioners of flood 
modelling tools and forecasting methods. Participants are expected to have 
friendly and constructive discussions with the speakers and with each 
other, by sharing their expertise, thoughts, comments, and insights from 
their field and/or expertise.
