The 41st edition of the IAHR World Congress will take place in Singapore 22-27 June 2025!
The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) World Congress is a biennial event that brings together the latest technical and scientific knowledge, practice, trends, and innovations of the global hydro-environment community.
Themed "Innovative Water Engineering for Sustainable Development", the 41st IAHR World Congress in Singapore will focus on the importance of innovative water engineering towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets related to water resources.
Held amid the International Decade for Action on “Water for Sustainable Development” 2018–2028, by the UN, the Congress will showcase the role of expert knowledge by the water engineering community to the implementation of innovation solutions to meet the SDGs, and share insights on research, technology and innovations that will create significant impact to tackle global challenges such as climate change and sea level rise.

The IAHR World Congress is the main biennial dissemination forum in this field. For this reason, the different Committees involved in the organisation of the next congress to be held in 2025 have proposed to open a call for proposals for Special Sessions that fit within the general topic of the Congress and its different themes.
A special session is a special type of parallel session with a particular title and content, under the responsibility of a particular institution, consortium of institutions or convener(s). A Special Session is fully integrated into the Congress programme and is open to every registered Congress participant. It does not require special funding from the Congress. Participants in the session, including convener(s) and speakers, must be fully registered for the Congress. The convener(s) has the right to invite participants to the session at his/her own expense, possibly with a specific sponsor. Special sessions will take place within the normal time schedule of the congress, whilst trying to avoid an overlap with similarly themed sessions.

Call for workshops
We invite proposals for workshops to be held as part of the pre-conference programme during the day before the congress starts. Proposals from all congress themes and subthemes and organisers of all levels of seniority are welcome.
The typical duration for a workshop is one full day (6 to 8 h) half-day workshops can also be accommodated.
