CONCLUSIONSeveral themes are a general concern for actual and future

Research:

EBM,

Planning Process adaptation to tailored solutions,

Uses Co allocation and conflict solving

Scales, Decsion Making,

Stakeholders participation,

Transboundary processes,

Assessment, …

But diferentt needs within

GEOGRAPHY….

and diferente stages of the PROCESS…
