CCES@School – The CCES Environmental Education Initiative. We developed a learning unit “River Restora-tion Impacts” with emphasis on hydrology and ecology for pupils in the secondary level 1 and 2 (9th and 10th grade). The two-day units were tested with two different school classes and were very well received. The pupils liked the combination of preparatory class work, field course and evaluation in the lab. The material for the learning unit is now part of GLOBE Schweiz (http://www.globe-swiss.ch/de/Uber_GLOBE/Schweiz/).

Master program Human-Environment Systems studied the success of the river restoration of the Thur in Niederneunforn. Results and project progress have been presented twice to a stakeholder group with repre-sentatives from the municipalities of Neunforn, Thalheim, Altikon and the canton of Thurgau. A booklet for the public with the main results has been published (see http://www.uns.ethz.ch/pub/tdpub/csbooks/CS_2012_Broschuere_V03_Web.pdf).

Public information events for local and regional authorties, and for residents

Two stakeholder workshops (group with representatives from the municipalities of Neunforn, Thalheim, Altikon and the canton of Thurgau) within the framework of the Master program Human-Environment Sys-tems. We studied the success of the river restoration of the Thur in Niederneunforn (http://www.uns.ethz.ch/translab/cs_former/2012). The results on river restoration project success, both from an ecological and public perception perspective was discussed.

Two stakeholder workshops were held for local and regional authorities. The first workshop as final event of the RECORD Project with more than 60 participants aimed at distributing the major results of this interdisci-
