Call for candidates to join the IAHR Europe Leadership Team
The IAHR Europe Division, founded in 2003, is seeking candidates to join the Leadership Team. Interested members should send their CV and motivation letter to the Chair of the Nominating Committee Prof. Corrado Gisonni at corrado.gisonni@unicampania.it before 15 September 2024.
Background
The IAHR Europe Division speaks out on behalf of its members on the European and international stages, promotes water related science, and facilitates scientific collaboration across borders and disciplines.
The IAHR Europe Division seeks to improve the conditions for research, to provide the best independent and interdisciplinary advice available in all aspects of water related problems, and to strengthen the role of hydro-science and hydro-engineering in society.
We all realize that life on Earth depends on freshwater resources which are under pressure. Floods, droughts and poor water quality are changing the lives of many people all over the world. Europe is definitely not free from the challenges brought on by climate change, increasing water demand and often mismanagement of water resources.
This Division offers a platform to discuss those problems and it is all about engaging in a lively exchange of ideas and fostering collaboration.
Objectives
The objectives of the IAHR Europe Division are as follows:
To promote the science and practice of hydraulics (and water science and engineering in general) and its application in all relevant fields in its geographic region by building bridges with the other water and environmental organisations and sharing expertise for the benefit of mankind;
To provide a forum of exchange of information among and between researchers and practitioners in the regional community dealing with hydraulics related disciplines;
To keep the regional IAHR members abreast of their field and alerted to future challenges and opportunities by examining on a continuing basis, the present and likely future directions of the IAHR's areas of endeavour;
To establish closer contacts with IAHR members in the Region and to serve as a forum through which the common professional and scientific interests will be formulated and pursued;
To enlarge the IAHR membership in the region primarily by providing attractive incentives to younger researchers.
