Dear Esteemed Guests and Participants,
We are delighted to welcome you to the 9th IAHR Europe Congress, Innovating Hydro-Environment Engineering for a Sustainable Future: Arctic Waters and Beyond in Luleå, Sweden, 9-12 of June 2026. This gathering brings together leading minds, researchers, and professionals dedicated to advancing hydro-environment engineering and exploring sustainable solutions for our planet's most critical water challenges.

Our theme this year highlights the importance of Arctic waters, not only as a vital component of our global ecosystem but also as a region where innovative engineering solutions can have profound impacts. As climate change accelerates and our aquatic environments face unprecedented pressures, our collective expertise and collaborative efforts are more crucial than ever.

Throughout this congress, we will explore a wide array of topics, including cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and sustainable practices that aim to preserve and protect our water environments. We have a diverse and distinguished lineup of speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions designed to inspire and challenge our thinking.

We encourage you to engage fully in the discussions, network with your peers, and share your insights and experiences. Together, we can forge new pathways to ensure a resilient and sustainable future for our water environments.
