This Seminar is a response to the rising significance of flood-related disasters world-wide, as an initiative to promote a socially just approach to the problems of flood risk. The Seminar aims to touch upon a variety of aspects that range from the social and ethical to the scientific and technical. It also aims to explore a new kind of praxis that can act as a continuous counter-balance to those mechanisms that unceasingly give rise to profound injustices.
