10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH)
The 10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) has been won to Aberdeen in 2024. This will be the first time in its history that the symposium will be in the UK and to Europe since it was held in Athens in 2010. The University of Aberdeen has been selected as the venue. As Scotland's third oldest University (one of the four ancient Universities in Scotland) with immaculately preserved buildings with state-of- the-art facilities and technology; the University is the perfect venue to host the 10th ISEH. The University of Aberdeen’s Department of Engineering has also developed a strong tradition in fluid mechanics research - civil engineering hydraulics research in particular - from its early days.
Led by Professor Vladimir Nikora FRSE, FRAE, the Group today is well connected to the UK hydraulics research community and internationally through collaborative research projects, network memberships such as the UK Fluids Network and MASTS, and editorial board memberships of leading hydraulics journals (Journal of Hydraulic Research, Water Resources Research, Coastal Engineering). Aberdeen is an experienced conference destination and such prestigious event only serves to strengthen the region as a business event destination. This event is set to attract approximately 400 delegates to Aberdeen over a period of 5 days and, it is estimated that this event will contribute nearly £1 million to the local economy. With already a strong reputation in fluid mechanics research, this event further strengthen Aberdeen’s position in this sector.
“Working with VisitAberdeenshire and CPD Services to pull together the bid for hosting the 10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) was a tremendous team effort; everyone worked on the bid to ensure Aberdeen had the strongest chance of securing the symposium to the region. The benefits to bringing the conference to the University of Aberdeen are vast and the Fluid Mechanics Research Group are looking forward to building lasting connections and advancing research in the field”.
“CPD & Event Services at the University of Aberdeen are delighted to have secured the 10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) to Aberdeen for 2024 and are looking forward to providing Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) services for the symposium. We worked hand in hand with VisitAberdeenshire and colleagues from the Fluid Mechanics Research Group at the University of Aberdeen to deliver a successful bid. We are honoured to bring the symposium to the UK for the first time since it’s conception and can’t wait to put Aberdeen on the map as a top symposium destination”.
“The success in winning the 10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) demonstrates another combined effort between VisitAberdeenshire (Aberdeen Convention Bureau) and the University of Aberdeen to deliver a bid win for Aberdeen. The team involved embodied working towards a common goal which ensured communicating effectively to the conference organisers of why Aberdeen is equipped and best positioned to hold this conference. It will be the Symposium’s first time to Aberdeen, though the event may only be five days, the impact of the event will exemplify Aberdeen as a top business event destination.”
