We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of our international Hydro Science and Engineering degree programme!

We will get together to commemorate two decades of HSE and explore exciting prospects for the future. In addition, we will introduce the new programme coordinators. The planned activities will offer abundant opportunities for exchange, discussion, and networking.

We are particularly eager to welcome back former and current students, as well as (former) lecturers, supporters, and friends of our MSc programme.
