On September 22, 2021, we held an online expert consultation meeting with about 25 participants from Bangladesh and the Netherlands. Our objective was to present and discuss our ongoing work on the translation of project output (i.e., resulting from our research) into what can be called project outcomes (i.e., the use and uptake of Living Polders’ scientific output by relevant stakeholders). Our aim is to contribute to the support of decision making processes. We invite you to watch the following 7 to 15 minutes long video clips of the presentations and discussions.
