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.

project ECOMED (www.ecomedbio.eu) and this will be p r om o te d a n d presented at this
symposium. At the end of this symposium, the attendees will be involved in the formal process of
founding the UK Association for Soil- and Water- bioengineering.
All registered delegates at the Symposium will receive a Certificate of Attendance (CPD: 8
hours). The authors of the accepted papers and the presenters at the Symposium will receive
Certificates of Authorship and/or Presentation. All certificates will be accredited by the EFIB.

and soil-bioengineering techniques in the following thematic areas:
• River restoration and revitalisation • Storm water management and rain gardens • Regeneration of wetlands, reservoirs, and coastal areas • Hydro forest restoration activities in mountain areas, slope stabilization • Planning and restoration of urban and peri-urban areas • Restoration of fire or drought affected areas • Design, construction and restoration of linear infrastructure: highways, railways, and gas

3. THE PARTNERS
EFIB - European Federation for Soil Bioengineering
The European Federation of Soil Bioengineering EFIB is the umbrella organization of
European soil bioengineering associations and companies. Currently, EFIB comprises:
• The German Company for Soil Bioengineering (Gesellschaft für Ingenieurbiologie e.V.)
• The Swiss Association for Soil Bioengineering (Verein für Ingenieurbiologie Schweiz)
• The Austrian Federation for Water and Waste Management ÖWAV (Österrreichischer
Wasser- und Abfallwirtschaftsverband), Working Group Soil Bioengineering
• The Italian Association for Soil Bioengineering AIPIN (Associazione Italiana per
l´Ingegneria Naturalistica)
• The Spanish Association for Soil Bioengineering AEIP (Asociación Española de
Ingeniería del Paisaje)
• The Portuguese Association for Soil Bioengineering APENA ( Associação Portuguesa
de Engenharia Natural)
• The French Association for Soil Bioengineering AgeBio (Association française de génie
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.

Glasgow Caledonian University
The School of Engineering and Built Environment at GCU is committed to the pursuit of excellence in
teaching, research and knowledge transfer, working with companies across the disciplines of
engineering, the creative industries, and the built and natural environment. The School is host to The
Research Centre for Built Environment Asset Management (BEAM) focusing on maximising social,
economic, and environmental benefit through the effective development, use and revitalisation of the
built environment and through engagement with the communities involved. The Centre will
contribute to research activity across the three societal challenges that are the focus for GCU research
to 2020: Healthy Lives, Inclusive Societies and Sustainable Environments. Focusing on ‘Sustainable
Development’, we aim to be recognised for Executive Education and Knowledge Transfer activity
through pioneering research in the following areas:
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Construction Project Risk and Value Management
Building Resilience and Environmental Impact
Modelling & Testing
Development of industry training courses and consultancy
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
The School’s research is focused on providing practical solutions for industry and is classified as
outstanding. In the REF2014 our Built Environment, Computer Science and General Engineering
submissions were all recognised to have elements of world leading research quality. Our research in
the Built Environment in particular performed strongly overall in the UK, with impact in this area
rated as top 20 in the UK combining world-leading and internationally excellent research, while our
research on sustainable urban environments and building design, as well as the field of waste
management and recycling, makes us the leading university in Scotland.

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.

4. GLASGOW .Another reason to join us
Scotland’s biggest city is a stylish mix of arts, culture and unique Celtic charm.
The city is home to over 20 museums and art galleries, including the award-winning Burrell
Collection, the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Riverside Museum, a radical
space designed by Zaha Hadid.
A UNESCO City of Music, Glasgow’s gig scene is red hot. Choose from hundreds of music events in
pubs and clubs or head straight to King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, one of the city’s best-known music
venues.
Style Mile, the area between Buchanan Street, Argyle Street and the Merchant City is packed full of
high street stores, independent boutiques and vintage fashion shops.
The regenerated Merchant City is Glasgow’s new cultural quarter with the former mercantile
buildings and warehouses revamped as trendy bars, top-notch restaurants and fashionable designer
emporiums.
Glasgow is just 1 hour from Edinburgh by train and by plane from London in 1 hour and 25 minutes.
