See you again at EGU23. What not to miss!

Soon the community will meet in Vienna to disseminate and exchange knowledge, and discuss the scientific and operational progress in hydrological forecasting. The EGU 2023 Annual General Assembly will take place from 23–28 April 2023 in Vienna. If you are planning to go and want to meet HEPEX and EC-HEPEX people, here are some tips on the sessions that might interest you.

If unfortunately you cannot be there in person, do not worry since we are now in the era of hybrid events. You can simply register and attend the sessions online. Just browse the programme of these sessions following the links below and learn more about the different work that is going to be presented.

 

This year the sub-division on Hydrological Forecasting (HS4) will run 8 (instead of 7 as in the previous years; check the new HS4.8 session on real-time urban flood forecasting) sessions focusing on topics:

• Forecasting hydrological extremes: (flash) floods, droughts and water scarcity
• Improving and quantifying forecasting methodologies and uncertainties
• Operational and impact forecasting, preparedness and decision making

All HS4 sessions received the EDI logo supporting the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion. 

Prior to highlighting the relevant sessions, we would like to draw your attention into:

The social HEPEX evening will be again a joint event with various research projects. It is scheduled for Tuesday (25 April) at 20.45 at the Melker Stiftskeller (Schottengasse 3, 1010 Wien, Austria) restaurant. If you want to join it, please register HERE before Wednesday 20 April. The reservation is for 50 people, so “first-come first-served”!

HS4 conveners, authors and members, particularly ECS, are invited to the Hydrological Forecasting (HS4) sub-division meeting. Wednesday (26th) 12:30-13:45, Room 2.32.
