Vienna Catchment Science Symposium 9th May 2026
Gemma Carr
Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to invite you to the 2026 Vienna Catchment Science Symposium. This one-day meeting will be held on Saturday, May 9th, the day after the EGU meeting in Vienna.
This is a small informal meeting focused around several full-length talks, workshops and a lot of unstructured conversation, as a contrast to the frenzy of 15-minute talks and countless posters at EGU. The overall theme is "How to inspire the next generation of hydrologists through science."
The symposium has been modelled after the Berkeley Meeting Jim Kirchner has been organising in the past years, and we have held similar meetings after EGU since 2010.
Doors will open at 8:30 AM with coffee, pastries and greetings. The meeting will start at 8:45, featuring ~35-minute talks and extended discussion, with breaks for lunch and snacks. The afternoon session will include small group discussion sessions to allow more in-depth discussion on inspiring the next generation of hydrologists.
The day will finish off with an exchange of group findings, followed by drinks and dinner.
The programme is attached. Updates will also be posted on our website, at www.waterresources.at, under News.
Logistics: The Meeting will be held in the Kuppelsaal at Technical University Vienna, in central Vienna, at Karlsplatz. Food and drinks are provided by us.
To make arrangements, we need to know who will attend. Please sign up no later than April 11th by completing the registration form:
Many thanks, and we look forward to seeing you in Vienna on May 9th, and/or at EGU the week before.
With best
regards,
Gemma Carr and Günter Blöschl
