Giulia Valerio, Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering (Politecnico of Milan) is associate Professor of hydraulics at Università degli Studi di Brescia. Her main research interest is the combination of field data and numerical modelling techniques to describe the physical processes occurring in lakes and studying their impacts on water quality. 

Marco Pilotti, Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering (Politecnico of Milan) is full Professor of hydraulics at Università degli Studi di Brescia. His most important scientific contributions have been in the field of sediment transport and soil erosion, in the modelling of flow within porous media at the microscale and  in the field of hydraulic dam safety and of Shallow Water Equations 

Dr Valerie McCarthy: An Assistant Professor in Ecology and Biodiversity. Her research interests are concerned with theoretical community and ecosystem ecology and nutrient dynamics in freshwater systems with a particular focus on ecological stoichiometry. She is interested in investigating the linkages between aquatic systems and their catchments and how they respond to perturbations arising both directly and indirectly from human induced impacts such as nutrient loading and climate change. 

An Assistant Professor in Environmental Systems in School of History and Geography. His research interests focuses on understanding the challenges faced and opportunities available to water users, particularly in developing regions of the world. He is interested in understanding the intersections between development (urban and rural) and natural capital and exploring how natural capital and nature-based solutions can improve the lives of stakeholders while enhancing resilience to environmental and societal change.

Mark Honti Ph.D. is a senior researcher in AVI and a member of the HUN-REN–BME Water Research Group. His research focus is hydrological and water quality modelling and the forecasting of climate change impacts. He has been developing and operating on-line hydrometeorological and water quality monitoring devices in Lake Balaton for more than 20 years.

Péter Torma Ph.D. is an associate professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He studies shallow lakes’ physical processes and hydrometeorology based on measurements and numerical modeling with a special focus on mixing and air-water exchange processes.

Gabriella Lükő Ph.D is an assistant lecturer at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Her research focuses on lakes’ energy balance, turbulent fluxes, and evaporation, including ice cover. Furthermore, she studies wind-driven lake hydrodynamics, integrating observation and modeling.

Bence Fülöp M.Sc. an environmental system engineer, the founder of AVI, who specialises in the interdisciplinary field of linking scientific research with decision-making processes, especially related to adaptation measures to climate change . He is also a founding member of ‘szabadonbalaton’, a grassroots organisation that combines art, science and activism.

Ana I. Ayala, who holds a joint Ph.D. in Limnology and Environmental Sciences (Uppsala University & University of Geneva), is a researcher at Uppsala University. Her main research focuses on process-based modelling of physical and biogeochemical processes in lakes, with a focus on the impacts of climate change.

Senior Research Scientist at Uppsala University’s Erken Laboratory, focusing on automated lake monitoring and climate-responsive lake management. Formerly led water quality modeling for New York City's reservoirs. Currently involved in international projects on climate change impacts on lakes, including ISIMIP, MEWS, and InventWater. 

Prof. Dr. Lisette N. de Senerpont Domis: Prof. Dr. Lisette N. de Senerpont Domis is interested in how different components of human-induced global changes, such as climate warming, eutrophication, and micropollutants affect aquatic ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services provisioning of lakes. In addition to leading the AKWA research group at the NIOO-KNAW, she is a full professor in Smart Ecological Monitoring of Aquatic Systems. 

A Postdoctoral Researcher in Ecosystem Ecology whose research focuses on ecosystem service quantification and integration in managed landscapes. Her work combines biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, and ecological modeling to link ecosystem state indicators with ecosystem service provisioning, supporting the development of digital tools for stakeholder-informed environmental management.
