IAHR Young Professionals Networks (IAHR-YPN)
IAHR Young Professionals Networks: a community of the future
IAHR Young Professionals Networks (YPNs) ensure that new generations of future hydro-environment professionals and researchers have the opportunity to engage in IAHR activities, network and connect with peers and senior IAHR members, receive mentoring and support, and get access to the latest knowledge, information and know-how in the early stage of their careers.
YPN members represent the backbone of the future IAHR and play an important role within the association through their activities and initiatives.
Through the IAHR Young Professionals Networks (YPNs), young professionals and students can:
- Network and share experiences.
- Collaborate and pair with neighbouring YPNs.
- Benefit from training and mentoring opportunities.
- Actively participate in IAHR technical committees, working groups, and projects and help address the world’s most pressing water challenges (register your preferences to participate).
- Regularly receive information about research and professional opportunities from IAHR Institute members and collaborating partners.
- Take advantage of a wide range of funding and travel grant opportunities for career development and attending IAHR congresses.
- Engage in fundraising efforts to gain support for YPN activities.
- Take part in IAHR events such as symposiums, seminars, workshops, the biennial world congress, and regional congresses.
- Apply for IAHR YPN awards.
- Join field and group trips.
- Receive membership benefits designed for immediate access to knowledge at a lower rate… and much more!

Free digital access and a special rate for the printed version of the following IAHR journals:
Journal of Hydraulic Research (6 issues per year)
The Journal of Hydraulic Research (JHR) publishes research papers in theoretical, experimental and computational hydraulics and fluid mechanics, relating to rivers, lakes, estuaries, coasts, constructed waterways, and some internal flows such as pipe flows. To reflect current trends in water research, articles that explore outcomes of interdisciplinary hydro-environment studies with a strong fluid mechanical component are especially welcome. Although preference is given to fundamental issues, papers focusing on important unconventional or emerging applications of broad interest are also appreciated.
Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research (4 issues per year)
The Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research (JAWER) publishes papers and practical case studies on all aspects of hydro-environment engineering and research. JAWER welcomes applications related to integrated water resources management and hydro-policy and aims for international dissemination of innovative methods that will specifically showcase studies on interfacing technology-based solutions within the hydro-environment and their ecological value and services.
RIBAGUA - Revista Iberoamericana del Agua (2 issues per year)
The Ibero American Water Journal (RIBAGUA) plays a unique role in helping researchers, engineers, and stakeholders in the region communicate their work in Spanish and Portuguese and focuses on topics of interest to the continent.
Journal of Ecohydraulics (2 issues per year)
The Journal of Ecohydraulics is an international, peer reviewed journal, publishing high-quality, original research. It publishes varied research undertaken in ecohydraulics, covering water resources and aquatic life, ecology, biology, hydraulics, engineering, geoscience, environmental science, climate change, and other related fields, with an emphasis on the integration of these disciplines and the contributions they can make for a sustainable future.
Journal of River Basin Management (4 issues per year)
The International Journal of River Basin Management (JRBM) plays a specific role in promoting a cross-sectorial approach encompassing all aspects of river and floodplain management, with a truly global perspective. The Journal is a response by the scientific and professional community to the World Water Vision and calls for an integrated approach to water resources management.
