IAH-NL mini-symposium 2024

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming mini-symposium and Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the International Association of Hydrogeologists – Netherlands Chapter (IAH-NL). This event will take place on September 26 at Utrecht University, Vening Meineszgebouw A – 1.13, and we encourage all members to attend and engage in these important activities.

Mini-symposium “Ensuring sustainable water availability for agriculture: Potential and challenges for managed aquifer recharge”

We will kick off the day with a mini-symposium organized around the award ceremony of the Pieter Stuyfzand Scriptie Prize (PSSP) 2023, featuring three presentations by early career hydrogeologists. The winner of the PSSP2023, Felix Joger, will give the first talk on his winning thesis topic. The symposium is open to anyone interested in hydrogeology and related fields. Please feel free to invite your colleagues and peers to join us for this event. We look forward to seeing you there!
