Africa Online Summer School

The Africa Online Summer School is organized by the IAHR-Africa Division. It is initiated as a commitment from IAHR to reach and connect with African scholar, young professionals, and institutes; and as a mean to promote collaborations that will create solutions for the water security and climate change challenges and help meet net-zero and sustainability targets. The main objective of the school is to introduce the main principles hydro-environmental engineering and their importance and practical applications in Africa

The Africa Online Summer School is FREE for IAHR members. Not a member yet? Register and receive a one-year free membership!
