Blue-Green Systems Launches in Palermo, Italy
Saluti! That’s “cheers” in Italian to celebrate the last in our series of global launch events for our latest Open Access journal, Blue-Green Systems! We toasted to the journal in true Sicilian style at the historic Palazzo dei Normanni in Palermo, Sicily. Co-Editor in Chief, Ana Deletic (Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of New South Wales) announced the launch to over 300 delegates at the opening ceremony of the 11th International Conference on Urban Drainage Modelling. Also in attendance were Associate Editors David McCarthy, (Monash University, Australia), Manfred Kleidorfer (University of Innsbruck, Austria) and Managing Editors Peter Bach (EAWAG, Switzerland) and Kefeng Zhang, (University of New South Wales, Australia). The launch was followed by a cocktail soirée in the stunning palace gardens.
