The South Baltic Conference on Dredged Materials in Dike Construction which took place in Rostock / Hohe Düne, 10-11 April 2014 was a great success. 115 experts from 10 European countries took part to discuss the interesting presentations. The programme aimed both on presenting the DredgDikes project and on other projects and topics that are associated with the DredgDikes project.The international projects PRISMA, DikeElite, Setarms, Smocs and Absoils were presented, some of them also INTERREG projects, which forms a good basis for future collaborations in the field of the beneficial use of dredged materials. The warm and sunny weather allowed the presentation of different experiments on the Rostock research dike.

The conference was officially opened by
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schareck, Rector of Rostock University,
Hans-Joachim Meier, Head of the BWK-MV (Association of Environmental Enginneers MV) and Head of StALU-MM and
Uwe Lemcke as representative of HTG (German Port Technology Association).

The organising team would like to thank all speakers, participants and helpers to make the conference such a successful event!
