International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research, the

IAHR, the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research, particularly promotes the advancement and exchange of knowledge through working groups, specialty symposia, congresses, and publications on water resources, river and coastal hydraulics, risk analysis, energy, environment, disaster prevention, industrial processes. Among the variety of activities which are undertaken to achieve our mission are: - organising events: congresses, specialty conferences, workshops and continuing education courses - technical meetings through our Committees - regional meetings through our Regional Divisions - European Engineering Graduate School Environment Water: IAHR-EGW, Stuttgart - participation in international programmes such as UNESCO, WMO and ICSU - promotion of student activities - publications The objectives of applied research, scientific exchange, technology transfer and research management provide an umbrella for all IAHR endeavours. The scope of IAHR involves research, engineering applications and their interactions and thus caters to the needs of both individual and corporate members. Hydraulics covers only one part of the water resources domain and most applications, developments, policies, and engineering works must consider all aspects of that domain. IAHR provides an excellent basis for co-operation with other water-related associations, where common interests call for combined efforts in hydrology (IAHS), urban water (IWA), development of water resources (IWRA), coastal and maritime engineering, etc. Specific developments which take place within the IAHR disciplinary field but have thematically larger implications and application areas (e.g., hydroinformatics) are stimulated by IAHR. Professionals from different disciplines will find a place in IAHR, and interactions with neighbouring disciplines possibly covered by other associations are stimulated and can find proper attention. IAHR is a member of the International Council of Scientific Unions and other important bodies.
