It happens that you have colleagues with who you want to start new collaborations. It happens that you have colleagues-friends that work on the same subject you do and live few meters from you and you jokes with them at the cafeteria, talk of everything but rarely on what you are doing in research. It happens that you have some visiting that do exciting work and are in your lab and you would like to have a seminar from them, exchange ideas, and experiment the fun of talking about research. It happens that you all have many Ph.D. students that barely know each others. It happens that you have an interesting project, WATZON, whose achievements should be presented. That's the origin of the Trento Hydrology Awareness Days (International Conference)
Last weeks, on October 12 and 13. We have setup a small organizing committee (Giuseppe Formetta and Riccardo Rigon, plus our eldest PhD. students, Niccolò Tubini and Concetta D'Amato) and a small Scientific Committee (Riccardo Rigon, Giuseppe Formetta, Alberto Bellin, Bruno Majone and Alessandra Marzadri). Everybody was invited to talk about a topic of their research. The one they like, without restrictions. Twenty minutes each one that expanded sometimes to forty minutes with discussion.
Particular thanks have to be given to the visiting Scientists: Glen Tootle (GS), Venkataraman Lakshmi (GS), Chaopeng Shen (GS), Felipe de Barros (GS) who traveled for this and Fabrizio Fenicia (GS) and Christian Massari (GS) who participated online. All our great Ph.D. students and postdocs who participated on site made their best.
Here below, please find the first day program, with presentations and videos.
