Katarzyna Izydorczyk is a professor at the European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology, Polish Academy of Sciences (ERCE PAS). Her research concentrates on systemic ecohydrological solutions in catchment-level management of water resources, with special emphasis on eutrophication of reservoirs and reduction of non-point source pollutions in agricultural catchments. She was the main researcher in the European project LIFE+EKOROB, awarded by the European Commission as “Best of Life+”. Prof. Izydroczyk currently participates in the international projects WATERDRIVE (Water driven rural development in the Baltic Sea Region of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region EU Programme) and RECONNECT (Regenerating ecosystems with nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological risk reduction, Horizon 2020 EU Programme).
Catchment management, agricultural pollutions, restoration of reservoirs.

Maciej Zalewski (ORCID: 0000-0002-4483-6200) is a professor, the founder and – since 1992 – Chair of the UNESCO Chair on Ecohydrology and Applied Ecology (University of Lodz). Since 2000, he has been the Director of European Regional Centre For Ecohydrology, Polish Academy of Sciences (ERCE PAS). He first developed the concept of Ecohydrology as a sustainability, problem-solving science and since 1996 he has worked in close cooperation with UNESCO, coordinating the ecohydrology programme (the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme, IHP). Prof. Zalewski is also editor-in-chief of the journal Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology (IF: 1.661). Under Prof. Zalewski’s supervision, the scientific team at the European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology and the UNESCO Chair on Ecohydrology and Applied Ecology are engaged in numerous scientific projects, both local and international. Among these projects, two were commended by the European Commission in 2018: “Best LIFE+” for the project “Ecotones for reducing diffuse pollution” (EKOROB) and “Best of the Best LIFE+” for the project “Ecohydrological rehabilitation of the Arturówek recreational reservoirs in Łódź as a model approach to the rehabilitation of urban reservoirs”.
