On 4 November, the IAHR BW YPN was able to hold the first colloquium since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The theme of this year’s colloquium was “Sustainable Water Management: Challenges for the Next Generation.” The colloquium was divided into two sessions, the Young Professionals and Professional Forums. During the Young Professional’s Forum, PhD students and Postdocs from Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and University of Stuttgart presented research they are working on. A panel of judges then chose the best presentation, and an award was given to the presenter.

Overall, the event was a great success, as participants from various institutes and study programs at the University of Stuttgart were able to connect with their peers from KIT, paving the way for increased collaboration in the future.
