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 2023, IAHS were pleased to award 8 SYSTA awards for attendance at the 28th IUGG General Assembly, in Berlin, Germany, up to the maximum award value of €2,500.
