Guest lecture PIANC

Hi Hydraulic Engineers,

Are you a Young Professional and do you want to be involved in the world‘s leading knowledge-sharing network of professionals in the waterborne transport infrastructure? Are you interested in contacting world class experts in your sector and boost your career? PIANC is the global organisation providing guidance and technical advice for a sustainable waterborne transport infrastructure to ports and waterways.

We invite you to an open lecture on next Wednesday 09/06 from 15:45 - 16:30h, when two TU alumni and a MSc student from YP PIANC will tell you about their worldwide experiences within the Association. Irena Doets (Boskalis), Gosse de Boer (RH DHV), and Sebastian Iglesias (TU Delft) will guide you on how to benefit from the knowledge development opportunities within technical Working Groups of our technical commissions to reach your personal and professional goals and be part of the organisation that brings on new developments to your sector. Also, on how to be part of events at international, regional, and local level –as well as networking events linked to PIANC Conferences and Congresses.

Find out more about our presence, endless networking opportunities, upcoming conferences, skill development assets like bilateral exchange pro-grammes and prospects to win various awards at: https://www.pianc.org/

Hope to see you on June 9th! Add the event to your calendar. To join the meeting: https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/98528646094

Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021: Embrace the force of nature (registration closed)

Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021: Embrace the force of nature

The Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021 will all be about building with nature and circularity. On May 7th, Stefan Aarninkhof (Professor Coastal Engineering TU Delft) will host the symposium from our corona-proof studio. The symposium will start with a plenary session where Henk Nieboer (director EcoShape) and Bart-Jan van der Spek (Project manager & engineer CDR international) will speak about building with nature and their experience in this field of work. After this session, four leading hydraulic engineering companies will join us for two challenging workshops after which we finalize the symposium with a discussion and some virtual drinks which will be provided by the symposium committee.

The symposium is the perfect way to get know this intriguing field of work and to experience how companies implement this kind of engineering in their own projects. Enthusiastic? Apply now, via the following google forms link:

SBE

SBE is one of the largest independent engineering consultancies in Belgium. A team of 160 colleagues, scattered over 4 offices in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, works on the design of civil structures such as bridges, tunnels, quay walls, navigational locks and dikes. As specialized consultants we are the ‘special forces’ of civil engineering since we only take action for very complex projects. We are also a family business which translates into a friendly work-environment, short communication lines and a flat and agile organisational structure.
