During four years more than 50 scientists from 13 European nations have been cooperating in this action with the objective to demonstrate weaknesses of today‘s knowledge and practice in urban flood management, to provide examples of best practice and enhancement in flood risk management and to provide a framework for future research on a European level.

The transformations of people’s relations to media content, technologies and institutions raise new methodological challenges and opportunities for audience research. This edited volume aims at contributing to the development of the repertoire of methods and methodologies for audience research by reviewing and exemplifying approaches that have been stimulated by the changing conditions and practices of audiences. The contributions address a range of issues and approaches related to the diversification, integration and triangulation of methods for audience research, to the gap between the researched and the researchers, to the study of online social networks, and to the opportunities brought about by Web 2.0 technologies as research tools.
