- Duration
- From 2011 to 2016
- Research Positions
- 17
- Domains
-
- Description
- The focus of the program is to gain a deeper understanding of multifunctional flood defenses and to provide a foundation for their engineering, design, assessment, and management. Research is carried out on the safety assessment, hydraulic loads and strength of these defenses, and governance of multifunctional flood defenses in a complex environment with multiple users, multiple sets of administrative rules, and multiple legal frameworks.

All Risk
- Duration
- From 2017 to 2021
- Research Positions
- 18
- Domains
-
- ecosystem-based flood management
- flood risk management
- Interdisciplinary
- Description
- All-Risk aims at supporting the ambitious Dutch Flood Protection Programme (HWBP) objectives when it comes to implementing new flood safety norms, which as of January 2017 are incorporated in the Water Law. The programme consists of 14 PhD research positions, and 4 postdoc research positions. It is set up as an interdisciplinary endeavour, bringing together researchers from engineering, geotechnical, spatial planning and social sciences disciplines. This will yield detailed, technical findings(e.g. 70% of time investment) and insights in integration and stakeholder collaboration (e.g. 30% of time investment). International collaboration with universities in Houston, Tokyo and Berlin will also take place.

RiverCare
- Duration
- From 2014 to 2019
- Research Positions
- 21
- Domains
-
- Interdisciplinary
- Water Management
- Description
- Rivercare is a research programme in which the partners of NCR with several other public and private parties collaborate to monitor the consequences of river interventions which are now constructed in the Room for the River programme and the Delta Programme. The monitoring data will be used to improve the fundamental understanding of the behavior of rivers, map the effects of the interventions for hydraulics, morphology and ecology and to improve the current models. The data, knowledge and models will be used to improve the design and cut maintenance costs of interventions while supporting collaborative and integrated management.
