IAHR QLD Young Professional Network
The International Association for Hydro-environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) Queensland Young Professionals Network brings together students and young water professionals in the science and engineering fields and is supported by Griffith University’s Cities Research Institute.
Our mission is to establish a vibrant community of young professionals driven by leading practices in the water sector. Our strategy is to share knowledge, research ideas and project opportunities, while also promoting young professionals’ involvement in policy-making and strategic water research initiatives.
We also aim to build a shared vision between academia, industry, and government, enabling young researchers to better identify and understand the most pressing water problems in Queensland and Australia. We encourage an interdisciplinary approach to water-related projects that acknowledges and accounts for the complex interdependencies between water, energy, environment and climate systems, among others.
Our vision is to foster the next generation of water professionals in Queensland and to obtain the skills required to deal with, and find solutions for, the increased pressure on natural water resources that our society will face.

Conference description
The First International Association for Hydro-environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) Queensland Young Professional Network conference is meant to be an opportunity for young researchers (such as PhD students in the early stages of their candidature) to present their research outputs and ideas to a network of like-minded academic and industry professionals, in a relaxed and constructive environment. It is also an opportunity to get to know and to join the group (conference registration costs are waived for members).
The conference presentations will be organised in sessions based on attendance and topic.
An industry engagement session with guest speakers will also be part of the conference.

ABSTRACT REQUIREMENTS
A 1-page extended abstract should be submitted using the form below. The abstract will undergo a peer review process and you will be notified of acceptance for oral presentation. The abstracts will be collated after the conference and made available as conference proceedings in this webpage. This will be an opportunity for participants to easily retrieve information (e.g. summary of research work, contact details) about relevant presentations. Abstract submissions should be emailed directly to Dr Edoardo Bertone.
Presentation requirements
Oral presentations’ duration and allocated time will be provided closer to the conference dates, after all extended abstracts have been reviewed.
