A stimulating opportunity to meet, share and discuss recent advances and experiences, identify innovative and emerging trends in hydro-environmental science and engineering, and get inspired.

#iahrWorldCongress 

Celebrated every two years, IAHR World Congresses are one of the most important activities of the association and attract more than a thousand participants from all over the world. The Congresses provide scientists, engineers, organisations, central and local authorities, companies, and young professionals early in their careers with a stimulating opportunity to meet, share and discuss recent advances and experiences, identify innovative and emerging trends in hydro-environmental science and engineering, and get inspired.

 Forthcoming

39th IAHR World Congress - From Snow to Sea
19-24 June 2022. Granada, Spain

Under the overall theme From Snow to Sea, the 39th IAHR World Congress will focus attention on the importance of an integrated and intelligent approach to the management of the full water cycle to address the global challenges faced by people and the environment.

From Snow to Sea highlights IAHR’s commitment to the critical role that sound understanding of the water cycle plays in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), not the least of which is the connection between the ocean goal (SDG 14) and the water goal (SDG 6) in addressing land-based activities affecting the sea.

The 39th IAHR World Congress provides an excellent opportunity to showcase and get involved in the development of innovative solutions and approaches to water challenges. Join us and contribute with your insights and experiences!
