9th International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures
Invitation
Hydraulic engineering is one of the most important fields in civil and environmental engineering. Challenges arising from new and complex environmental, climate and societal issues will require upgrades and replacement of aging infrastructure and development of innovative sustainable solutions. These challenges will require the combined efforts of both researchers and practitioners in future years. The IAHR International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (IJREWHS) brings together young scientists and engineers to discuss hydraulic structure designs, new research and practical solutions.
The Organizing Committee is therefore delighted to invite you to participate in the 9th IAHR IJREWHS which will be a one-day event taking place after the IAHR International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures (ISHS) on June 20th 2024 and hosted by ETH Zurich, Switzerland and the IAHR Technical Committee on Hydraulic Structures.
Workshop intention
The objective of the IJREWHS is to provide an opportunity for young researchers and engineers to gain international exposure by presenting and discussing their research to current and future international research leaders and experts in hydraulic structures. In a friendly environment, authors and presenters receive constructive feedback from their peers and a committee of senior researchers on their paper and presentation. Based on that feedback, authors will prepare a revised final version of their manuscript, which will undergo a review by peers (workshop participants) and senior researchers. If accepted, the paper will be published as an open access publication with a Digital Object Identifier at ETH Zurich, ensuring large exposure to the international community.
Junior research and engineering participants will gain valuable experience during the workshop through the peer reviewing and chairing of sessions. Additionally, the participants will discuss the presented works in round table discussions, together with the committee of senior researchers. This procedure encourages intensive, but positive and friendly career development in addition to enabling the students to make valuable contacts in the field of hydraulic structures
research and engineering.

Important Information
- First, prepare the paper for review. Use the template to write your paper.
- Then, send your paper as a PDF to by 10 July 2024. Please note that the pdf of your paper must be no larger than 10MB to be uploaded for the review.
- The Scientific Committee will then review your paper in the same way as the abstracts. Around 30 August 2024, you will receive feedback on whether your paper has been accepted without revision, with a revision or rejected for 9th IAHR IJREWHS.
- After the first round of review, send your revised paper to by 29 September 2024 if a revision is required.
We would like to remind you that we must insist on strict adherence to the instructions and deadlines. Otherwise, the amount of work will be unmanageable. Failure to follow instructions or poor English can be a reason for rejection, regardless of the outcome of the review.
