The next edition of the annual meeting of the Netherlands Centre for River studies (NCR DAYS) will be held at the Deltares Campus in Delft on 8 and 9 February 2018.

And this edition’s special: we are celebrating 20 years of cooperation in river studies within NCR. We won’t let that go by unnoticed! We’re putting together an exciting program to combine multi-disciplinary innovation with mono-disciplinary excellence around the theme: “The future river”.

What will the future look like for the fluvially minded? To explore this, we have invited inspiring key-note speakers who will address innovations in management, communication, observation and multifunctional use of the river. Together with your contributions, let’s sketch an outline of the river of the future!
