On June 22-24, 2015, the 5th Fish Passage Conference was held for the first time in Europe, in the city of Groningen, The Netherlands. Hundreds of researchers, educators, practitioners, funders and regulators from across the globe took part in this exciting international conference.

High-level representatives from government and special guests had the honor of welcoming the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment, Ms Schultz van Haegen-Maas Geesteranus, who officially opened the FP2015 conference.

We developed an impressive program with top experts in dam removal, fish passage, river restoration, ecohydraulics, biology and much more. The program also included excellent opportunities to network with experts and specialists.
