Subject: Proposal invitation for hosting the 9th ICEC to be held in 2027
Dear Colleagues,
The International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) is inviting interested parties to submit proposals for hosting the 9th International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (9th ICEC) in 2027.
As you may already know, the 8th International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (8th ICEC) will be held in Quebec City, Canada from August 27 to 29, 2024. We are looking forward to meeting with you there. Although it might seem far away, it is important to begin planning for the 9th ICEC, which is scheduled to be held in 2027.
The ICEC Series, organized by IRTCES since 2003, has become the leading international forum for dissemination of research and industrial practice on estuaries and coasts. IRTCES in Beijing has served as the permanent secretariat of ICEC since its inception. This conference will continue the success of its previous conferences held in Hangzhou and Guangzhou (China, 2003; 2006), Sendai (Japan, 2009), Hanoi (Vietnam, 2012), Muscat (Oman, 2015), Caen (France, 2018) and Shanghai (China, 2021). The 8th ICEC is scheduled to be held in Quebec City, Canada from August 27 to 29, 2024. With support from related international associations and the participation of experts and scholars worldwide, the ICEC has become an important and popular event. The conference provides an opportunity for scientists, engineers, researchers, and decision-makers to exchange ideas, research results, advanced techniques, and share their experiences and information across the broad field of estuaries and coasts.
IRTCES is currently in the process of selecting a venue for the 9th ICEC that is scheduled to be announced in Quebec City in 2024. Several universities and institutes have already shown interest in hosting the event. However, IRTCES is still open to more proposals for hosting the 9th ICEC in 2027. If you are interested, please submit your proposals to Prof. Hongling Shi, IRTCES (see addresses below) before January 31, 2024. The final decision regarding the venue and organizer will be made by the permanent secretariat of ICEC (IRTCES).
Prof. Hongling Shi (E-mail: shihl@iwhr.com ), and
