ABSTRACT
After Kassel (Germany, 1999) and Beijing (China, 2002) the 3rd International Symposium on Flood Defence was held in Nijmegen (the Netherlands). One of the objectives of this Symposium is to present new developments in flood defence sciences and therefore stimulate new directions and/or integration among them. The themes that have been identified in that respect are (1) Frameworks, (2) Measures and Solutions, (3) Policy Making and (4) Scientific Developments. This theme report gives an overview of the papers that have been submitted for Scientific Developments.
