About the 7th IAHR Africa Congress

Congress Objectives:

The 7th IAHR Africa Congress aims to provide a vibrant platform for scientists, engineers, organizations, central and local authorities, companies, and young professionals to share recent advances, experiences, and innovative trends in hydro-environmental science and engineering.

Following the success of the 6th Congress in Morocco in 2024, this event represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to advance water management solutions specifically designed for African contexts and challenges.

Themes and Topics:

Organized around eight themes, our congress offers an integrative and interdisciplinary platform where science, engineering, and societal policy converge. Visit our program page for more details on the themes and sub-themes.

The Congress will feature keynote lectures, technical sessions, workshops, and field visits that highlight Rwanda's innovative approaches to water management and environmental sustainability.

About IAHR:

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) is a global organization of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to the hydro-environmental sciences and their practical application. Founded in 1935, IAHR has members and activities in more than 70 countries.

IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and its application, and by so doing contributes to sustainable development, the optimization of world water resources management and industrial flow processes.
