The 9th FRIEND-Water Global Conference will be held in Dakar, Senegal from 5 to 10 June 2023. 

As a flagship initiative of IHP IX (2022-2029), FRIEND-Water aims to put science into action to secure water resources. 

This year's meeting will be dedicated to the theme "Addressing unsolved problems in hydrology for a water secure world in a changing environment".

FRIEND-Water contributes to international research by studying long-term variations and changes in hydrological regimes. The programme aims to better understand climate and watershed controls, as well as human influence on the spatial and temporal distribution of water. This initiative brings together more than 160 countries who are looking forward to seeing you in Dakar in 2023.

The call for abstracts is now open until the 16 December 2022.
