Abstract:
The 8th Europe Congress of IAHR (International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research) was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 4 to 7 June 2024. The Congress was organised by the IAHR Europe Division and the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC), which hosted the conference, together with the Instituto Superior Técnico - University of Lisbon, the Faculty of Engineering - University of Porto and the Lisbon City Council. It was supported by more than 15 sponsors from across the water engineering community. Under the main theme “Water - Across Boundaries”, this edition of the Congress in Lisbon focused on the importance of sharing research, technology and innovation to address unprecedented water challenges and to promote sustainable water engineering. Business as usual practices are no longer tenable. Bringing about the necessary changes is a shared responsibility. The programme also included four keynote lectures, four master classes, ten special sessions and three technical visits. On behalf of the organisers of the 8th Europe Congress of IAHR, we would like to thank the speakers and delegates, the members of the Scientific and Organising Committees, the sessions chairs, the conveners of the Master Classes and Special Sessions, as well as the colleagues and volunteers from all the involved institutions.
