XXVII International School of Hydraulics

The general theme for this year is “Transport phenomena in hydraulics”. International School of Hydraulics (till 2003 a national event) has very long tradition and it was initiated in 1981 and took place without interruption each year. Throughout all that long 25 years period it was successfully chaired by Prof. Wojciech Majewski and organized by the Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The School has been organized under the auspices of the Committee for Water Resources Management of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Starting from the 26th School of Hydraulics organization was taken over by the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. It turned out to be a great success. Fifty four researchers from eight countries (Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Italy, Russia, Ukraine and Iran) participated in that School. Lectures and presentations were given by both renowned and younger researchers from all over Europe. This year event will be organized in cooperation with the Institute of Advanced Education from Warsaw.
