Congress Pillars
Three priority pillars for water sustainability
In line with the IAHR strategic vision, the congress highlights digital transition as an enabling factor across climate, infrastructure and society. Scientific discussions are structured around three broad pillars and a set of interconnected sub-themes.
Special focus
Digital transition for water sustainability
The congress positions digital transformation as more than a technology upgrade. It is a management and knowledge transition that combines data accessibility, computational power, modelling, monitoring and decision support with the central role of engineers, researchers and operators.
This special focus connects directly with the three congress pillars by supporting climate adaptation, resilient infrastructure, urban water management, coastal systems and evidence-based decision making.
