Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the application deadline for the
IAHS Academy has been extended to 31. October 2025!
I want to specifically promote the IAHS Academy course "Assessing
Coupled Human-Water Systems". The course is grounded in the
findings of the Panta Rhei scientific decade and uses the
forthcoming synthesis book "Coevolution and Prediction of Coupled
Human-Water Systems" as teaching material.
We warmly encourage you, your colleagues, or your students to
explore this exciting opportunity to deepen your understanding
of Coupled Human-Water Systems. Please help us spread the
word—and consider applying to the Academy!
The IAHS Academy will be held at the Eastern Institute of
Technology in Ningbo, China from 12 - 18 January 2026. More
information and the IAHS Academy application details can be found
