Das Forschungsprojekt AMBER (Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers) beschäftigt sich mit der Bewertung von Querbauwerken und mit der ökologischen Durchgängigkeit von Fließgewässern in Europa. Insgesamt arbeiten ca. 20 Organisationen aus 11 EU-Ländern am Projekt mit, hauptsächlich Universitäten, aber auch Behörden, Fischereiverbände, Umweltverbände und Betreiber von Wasserkraftanlagen. Koordiniert wird das Projekt von der Universität Swansea (Großbritannien).

Chile is rapidly expanding its hydropower capacity. Hydropower dams and other barriers can prevent the movement of fish for reproduction, feeding, refuge and gene flow, causing species extinction. As part of the European Commission funded project, "Knowledge Exchange for Efficient Passage of Fish in the Southern Hemisphere", this summer school will provide participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to design and monitor fish passage facilities. It will cover both upstream and downstream movement.
