From June 4-5, the SedNet workshop was held in Hamburg, Germany, bringing together experts, researchers, and professionals to discuss the latest developments and innovations in sediment management. On June 4th, the Working Group Circular Economy and the Working Group Quality held joint sessions, while the Working Group Education-Science-Policy Interfacing & Sediment Management Concepts (ESPI-SMC) also organised a session.

On June 5th, the excursion took place to the METHA Plant, the dewatering and S25 Project fields. The site visits were followed by a guided boat tour through the Harbor of Hamburg. The excursion day concluded with a delightful dinner.

The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for networking, learning, and sharing knowledge with professionals from diverse backgrounds.

Below you will find the workshop program, the summaries of the workshops and presentations.
