We’re thrilled to announce that we received over 90 applications for the IAHR John F. Kennedy Student Paper Competition!

This high level of interest is indicative of the number of talented young water students making waves in hydraulics and water resources research across the world who are excited to share their progress. We thank all participants for applying.

An international panel of experts have now pre-selected 12 applicants papers. On Tuesday 21 June 2022 from 16:30-18:30 CEST, a special session during the 39th IAHR World Congress in Granada will feature the shortlisted applicants who will present their work in person.

The winner will receive a cash prize of US$1500, a commemorative diploma and due recognition during the closing ceremony of the IAHR World Congress!
