The IAHS Sivapalan Young Scientists Travel Awards (SYSTA) initiative was launched in 2018 and invites applications regularly. The aims of SYSTA are to: (1) strengthen attendance of IAHS meetings from financially disadvantaged countries (FDCs) to address the currently low attendance; and (2) foster high quality science among a new generation of hydrologists.
In January 2022, IAHS were pleased to award 27 SYSTA awards for attendance at the IAHS 2022 Scientific Assembly in Montpellier, France, up to the maximum award value of €2,500.
