Save The Date: IAHS HELPING / EGU Alexander von Humboldt Conference: HYDROLOGY FOR ALL - CO-CREATING EQUITABLE WATER SOLUTIONS

[Giulio Castelli]

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to share the Save the Date for the

IAHS HELPING / EGU Alexander von Humboldt Conference:
HYDROLOGY FOR ALL - CO-CREATING EQUITABLE WATER SOLUTIONS

From 9-11 November 2026, IAHS (International Association of Hydrological Sciences), LADSIS Laboratory (Research Laboratory on Socio-Anthropological Differentiations and Social Identities), Faculty of Arts and Humanities Aïn Chock - Hassan II University of Casablanca, and EGU (European Geosciences Union) will be hosting a conference centered around Theme 3 - Cross-Cutting Goals of the current IAHS scientific decade, HELPING - Science For Water Solutions Decade. It will take place in Casablanca, Morocco, at the Mohamed Sekkat University Library.

In a time of growing water insecurity and climate uncertainty, bridging global water expertise with local knowledge and visions is more critical than ever. Our conference aims to foster dialogue between researchers, communities, and policymakers, ensuring the co-creation of solutions that are appropriate to the local context and socially and environmentally equitable and sustainable.

By acknowledging and valuing local capacities, we want to strengthen resilience at the grassroots, where the impact of water challenges is most deeply felt. This conference offers a platform for co-creating knowledge, sharing lived experiences, and spotlighting community-driven solutions that often go unrecognized. It aims to bring together researchers from a variety of fields, from socio-hydrology, over numerical modeling, to remote sensing, and aims to explore avenues for how to better integrate local perspectives into a wide range of methodologies, especially those that rarely take them into account.

The conference will be in English and French.
