Subject: Amongst hydrogeological hazards, floods represent a recurring and serious threat to both lives and property in many European Union countries. The EUROflood project - involving seven EU countries - developed new methods for assessing the severity of these threats, and new models to gauge their likely extent in the future. In addition research compared the policies used in the different countries to manage floods and floodplain areas, and to identify both weaknesses and good practices which can inform future scientific inquiry and national policy directions. A strong network of researchers has been established as well as research to provide enhanced scientific and policy contributions to sustainable development
