Education and Professional Development: The Needs of Water Professionals in a Changing Environment and Society

Convenors: Ioana Popescu, Reinhard Hinkelmann, Philippe Gourbesville

We are proposing an IAHR conference session exploring the landscape of professional education in water engineering. Within this session comprehensive presentations will showcase how academic institutions aim to enhance the skills and knowledge necessary for addressing contemporary challenges in the water sector. Shaping the future of water professionals through innovative educational programmes and research opportunities.

The speakers of this session will present different educational programmes, as well as ways to get a water programme recognised/labelled by IAHR.

A series of 4-6 programs will be presented followed by a 20-30 minutes discussion with presenters.

The IAHR EPD committee supports this initiative and will provide its input on the presented educational programmes.
