\n\t\tWDWE2026 Introduction\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The 6th International Symposium on Water Disaster Mitigation and Water Environment Regulation (WDWE 2026) will be held in Singapore in 2026, co-located with the CFI Annual Symposium 2026 and the 2026 Asia Tsunami Workshop. The symposium will bring together international researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry partners to exchange knowledge and discuss advances in coastal protection, flood resilience, and sustainable water environment management.<\/p>\n

The symposium will serve as a multidisciplinary platform for global experts to share insights on the latest scientific and engineering developments related to water disasters, climate change, and nature based and hybrid coastal protection solutions, with particular relevance to highly urbanised and climate vulnerable coastal cities.<\/p>\n

Participants will have the opportunity to present cutting edge research, innovative engineering approaches, and practical case studies that contribute to strengthening resilience against coastal flooding, sea level rise, and extreme weather events, while supporting sustainable coastal and marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n

WDWE 2026 will foster collaboration between academia, government agencies, and industry, supporting dialogue on translating research into practice for coastal protection and flood management. The programme will feature keynote lectures, technical sessions, poster presentations, and networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

Participants will be invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations and to join the symposium activities, contributing to the global exchange of knowledge on advancing science, policy, and engineering solutions for water and coastal resilience. Registration and abstract submission will open in May 2026<\/strong>, with more details to be shared soon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

CFI Annual Symposium 2026<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

The CFI Singapore Symposium 2026 convenes researchers, policymakers, and industry partners to exchange insights on advancing coastal protection and flood resilience in the face of climate change and rising sea levels. The symposium highlights cutting edge research, innovative engineering solutions, and nature-based approaches that support sustainable and resilient coastal environments. It also provides a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange across academia, government, and industry to translate research into practical solutions for Singapore and the region.<\/p>\n

2026 Asia Tsunami Workshop<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

The Asia Tsunami Workshop is a spin-off of the long-running South China Sea Tsunami Workshop (SCSTW) series.\u00a0Expanding beyond the South China Sea, the workshop brings together researchers from across Asia to share insights and advances in tsunami science and risk reduction.<\/p>\nThe workshop welcomes studies on tsunamis generated by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity, and atmospheric disturbances. Topics include tsunami generation, propagation, run-up, damage assessment, and disaster mitigation strategies such as hazard assessment, warning systems, coastal protection, evacuation planning, and community preparedness. Oral and poster sessions will foster knowledge exchange among researchers at all career stages.\nMore details coming soon.\n
