Bridging the gap between water science and solutions - a joint conference. The IAHS and the Brazilian Association of Water Resources (ABRHidro) invite researchers to submit abstracts for presentation at a joint meeting on water resources systems and statistical hydrology, which combines three events:

• The 9th International Symposium on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
• The 14th International Workshop on Statistical Hydrology (STAHY)
• The 1st Brazilian Meeting on Statistical Hydrology (EBHE).

The meeting will take place in Florianópolis, Brazil, from 4-7 November 2024.

This joint meeting brings together the experts – academics and practitioners – and young scientists alike for vibrant scientific discussions and debates. We strongly suggest participants to think of how their contributions to the meeting relate to the Themes, Goals and Working Groups of the current IAHS Scientific Decade IAHS initiative for 2023-2033: Science for Solutions: Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world (HELPING). Using the HELPING rationale as the background of our discussions will accelerate the development of activities that are already in place in many of the HELPING Working Groups.

Broadly speaking, we welcome contributions dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Integrated water resources management
• Characterization and prediction of hydrometeorological extremes
• Forecast and optimization of water resources systems
• Water resources in a connected world.

The conference is eligible for SYSTA funding (Sivapalan Young Scientists Travel Award). An abstract must already be submitted to be considered for the award. The deadline of 31 May is approaching quickly so get your submissions in soon.
