Submit your abstract to the 9th IAHR International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures by 31 January!
The IAHR International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (IJREWHS) brings together young scientists and engineers to discuss hydraulic structure designs, new research and practical solutions.
The Organising Committee is delighted to invite you to participate in the 9th IAHR International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (9th IJREWHS) which will be a one-day event taking place after the IAHR International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures (ISHS) on 20 June 2024 and hosted by ETH Zurich, Switzerland and the IAHR Technical Committee on Hydraulic Structures.
Workshop intention
The objective of the IJREWHS is to provide an opportunity for young researchers and engineers to gain international exposure by presenting and discussing their research to current and future international research leaders and experts in hydraulic structures. In a friendly environment, authors and presenters receive constructive feedback from their peers and a committee of senior researchers on their paper and presentation. Based on that feedback, authors will prepare a revised final version of their manuscript, which will undergo a review by peers (workshop participants) and senior researchers. If accepted, the paper will be published as an open access publication with a Digital Object Identifier at ETH Zurich, ensuring large exposure to the international community.
Junior research and engineering participants will gain valuable experience during the workshop through the peer reviewing and chairing of sessions. Additionally, the participants will discuss the presented works in round table discussions, together with the committee of senior researchers. This procedure encourages intensive, but positive and friendly career development in addition to enabling the students to make valuable contacts in the field of hydraulic structures research and engineering.
Abstract submission
Submit your abstract by 31 January 2024 (deadline extended).
Registration
Please note that the participation to the 9th IJREWHS is limited to 20 people. Fee includes workshop material, program, plattform access and digital proceedings. The registration will be open from 18 March to 31 May 2024.
