This workshop, overall, was a success, it was well organised and was run smoothly.
The participants were able to engage in discussions and the schedule and meeting
facilities enabled discussions after each speaker. At the end of each session an indepth
discussion was monitored by the chairpersons. The use of dual chair persons
and reports encouraged the participants from China and the EU (who has never met
before the workshop) to work together.
A key aim of this event was to bring together the climate water communities of China,
the UK and EU. Additionally we wished to highlight current and future projects
operating in China and to identify funding organisations such as the EU, RCUK.
These goals were, on the whole, fulfilled. An interesting outcome was the recognition
by the Chinese participants that more dialogue between researchers in the field of
climate and hydrology is needed; similarly this issue has only recently been
recognised by the UK/EU community
