Scientific Decades
IAHS has coordinated two scientific decades, which set the research agenda worldwide through collaborative forces.
2003 - 2012: Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB)
2013 - 2022: Panta Rhei — Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society
2023 - 2032: Science for solutions: Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world (HELPING)
The overall aim with a scientific decade is to accumulate knowledge and streamline the efforts so that coherent engagement, sharing and focus accelerate scientific knowledge and understanding of a specific hydrological problem or phenomena. It stimulates vivid discussions between young and senior scientists globally.
Topic for the Next IAHS decade
After two successful decades, IAHS want to once more boost the community through launching a third topic for collaborative efforts in hydrological sciences: HELPING, created through a participatory community process and by applying strategic planning.
