Water Week 2024

From March 18, 2024 to March 22, 2024

REPLAY

From 18 to 22 March 2024, the graduate school H2O'Lyon and its partners organize an open university week to coincide with World Water Day on 22 March.

This year, we'll be exploring rivers, their meanders and the threats they face, mobilising different scales and networks of players to gain a better understanding of the many facets of water, and taking the opportunity to celebrate 5 years of H2O'Lyon!

A rich programme to better understand the contribution of academic research and encourage exchanges. To be followed face-to-face or remotely: webinars, workshops, visits and discussions.

These events are open to all, bringing together researchers, students, water professionals and the general public.
