1. INTRODUCTION-SYMPOSIUM PRESENTATION

Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in collaboration with the European Federation of Soil

and Water Bioengineering (EFIB) and support from the ECOMED Erasmus+ project, organise the

International Symposium on Soil- and Water- Bioengineering in a Changing Climate, held

on the 7th and 8th of September 2017. The aim of the symposium is to present and discuss the possibilities offered by the the

technical discipline of Soil- and Water- Bioengineering to the ecological, economic, and societal

challenges faced within a changing climate. As a society are experiencing a period of uncertainty,

in which we perceive that the solutions could come from finding a balance within our

environment based on the sustainable management of our ecosystems, the restoration of their

functionality and services, and the use of nature-based construction systems such as soil- and

water- bioengineering techniques. It is envisaged that UK practitioners and researchers will foster

a deeper and more meaningful relationship with their international counterparts at the symposium

by sharing experiences around common areas of interest.

According to the E.F.I.B., soil- and water- bioengineering is a discipline that combines

technology and biology, making use of plants and plant communities as building materials

which can protect the soil and infrastructure as well as contributing to landscape

development. It includes technical (protection and stabilisation), ecological (ecosystem

restoration), landscape (improvement of landscape integration), and a consideration of socio-

economic (efficiency and employability) aspects.

It is recognised as an emerging Engineering discipline, because of the application of scientific

and practical knowledge in order to design and build structures, processes and solutions to

control Soil and Water erosion and stability, but is also a Biological discipline because of the

critical role of native plants and its bio-technical properties in these solutions.

biologique)

• The Russian Forestry Association Section MAIKOP

The Federation aims at the development and advancement of soil bioengineering techniques

as a technical-biological discipline, dealing with the use of plants for engineering purposes.

The focus lies on the advancement of plants to be used as construction material for

stabilization work on river banks, lakes, and coasts, for slopes and gullies as well as to reduce

and prevent erosion and mass wasting processes. EFIB further aims at the revitalization of

water bodies, the improvement in biodiversity, the integration in the landscape and the

enhancement of life quality.

EFIB was founded in 1995 to coordinate and advance the dissemination of knowledge and

experience of the member associations and companies.

The EcoMed project is an initiative for fostering the specialisation process for the soil and water

bioengineering sector within the Mediterranean environment. It also seeks for the generation of new

dynamics and collaborations within the sector.

Particularly, the project objectives are the following:

Adapted design routines (improvement at the design stage)

Plant database of vegetation for bioengineering interventions in Mediterranean areas (improvement

at the design stage)

Improved constructive procedures and schemes (improvement at the construction stage)

improved monitoring plans and definition (improvement at the monitoring stage)

improved bioengineering work analysis tools. Improved work restoration effectiveness analysis

(improvement at the monitoring stage)

Improved sector specific training modules syllabus and contents (improvement at the design stage)

Therefore, improvements of the sector at the different levels (design, construction, monitoring and

educational) are searched. For accomplishing the preceding objectives, an applied researched will be

conducted during the 2017 and 2018. These works include the selection of a set of bioengineering

works and projects, within the European Mediterranean environment, that will be carefully analysed.
