Submit your abstract Keep updated
The International Symposium on Ecohydraulics (ISE) was launched in 1994 by the IAHR Technical Committee of Ecoydraulics. ISE provides a platform for scientists and engineers worldwide to discuss cutting-edge scientific progress, compare and evaluate state-of-the-art technical methods, and recommend them to the end-users.
Dating back to 2011, the annual Fish Passage Conference has brought together experts, managers, stakeholders and companies from around the world with concurrent sessions in engineering, biology, and management and social issues.
The joint 15th International Symposium on Ecohydraulics and Fish Passage will be held in Québec City, Canada from 5 to 9 May 2024. This event aims at increasing research and professional networking and is an excellent opportunity to connect with future partners. The last time ISE was held in Québec City was in 1996. Welcome back!
