We are delighted to announce that the 11th IAHR International Conference on Physical Modelling in Coastal Engineering and Science (CoastLab 2028) will take place in Porto, Portugal, from 7 to 10 February 2028.

The conference will be hosted by the Section of Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment (SHRHA), Department of Civil Engineering and Georesources (DECG), Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), under the auspices of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR).

Under the theme "From Laboratory Insight to Resilient Coasts", CoastLab 2028 will provide an international forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to exchange knowledge and discuss advances in physical and numerical modelling, coastal processes, climate adaptation, nature-based and hybrid protection structures, port and offshore engineering, and other emerging topics affecting coastal systems.

Save the date — we look forward to welcoming you to Porto in 2028!
