1. INTRODUCTION-SYMPOSIUMPRESENTATION

GlasgowCaledonianUniversity(GCU)incollaborationwiththeEuropeanFederationofSoilandWaterBioengineering(EFIB)andsupport fromtheECOMEDErasmus+project,organisetheInternational Symposium on Soil- and Water- Bioengineeringin a Changing Climate,heldonthe7thand8thofSeptember2017.

Theaimofthesymposiumistopresent anddiscuss the possibilities offered by the the

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

challenges facedwithinachangingclimate.Asasocietyareexperiencingaperiodofuncertainty,

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

environment based on the sustainablemanagement of our ecosystems, the restoration of their

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

water- bioengineeringtechniques.ItisenvisagedthatUKpractitionersandresearcherswillfoster

adeeperandmoremeaningfulrelationshipwiththeirinternationalcounterpartsatthesymposium

bysharingexperiencesaroundcommonareasofinterest.

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

technology and biology, making use of plants and plant communities as building materialswhich can protect the soil and infrastructure as well as contributing to landscapedevelopment. It includes technical (protection and stabilisation), ecological (ecosystemrestoration), landscape (improvement of landscape integration), and a consideration of socio-economic(efficiencyandemployability)aspects.

ItisrecognisedasanemergingEngineeringdiscipline, 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,butisalsoa Biological disciplinebecauseof the

criticalroleofnativeplants anditsbio-technicalpropertiesin thesesolutions.
