Opening Night – For all organizers and participants of the REGATTA Water Days 2026

The opening night marks the official kickoff of the 2026 REGATTA Water Days in the Attersee-Attergau LEADER region. It is intended for all participants as well as representatives from regional municipalities, clubs, schools, and institutions. The goal of the event is to present the diverse program of the Water Days, raise awareness of water protection, and promote dialogue between academia and the field.

The main focus of the event will be a presentation by Associate Professor Mag. Dr. Gabriele Weigelhofer. As the scientific director and a member of the executive board of WasserCluster Lunz, as well as the head of the FLUVICHEM research group at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, she is one of Austria’s most renowned water experts. In her keynote address, “Water as a Future Issue in Our Region—Why Water Expertise Is Becoming a Key Task,” she will shed light on the ecological interconnections between lakes, streams, and springs and explain why a solid understanding of the regional water cycle is indispensable for the future. In addition to expert insights, the evening offers opportunities for networking and joint discussions on concrete courses of action.
