This Committee has been formed with a view to enhance higher education cooperation among IAHR members globally, and especially in talent cultivation and professional training. The IAHR-Hohai Collaborative Committee is committed to international collaboration among universities and research institutions in the hydro-environment domain in terms of discipline and cross-discipline development, teaching materials and textbook development, and teaching methodology improvement.
