Short Course

​

Following the huge success of the short course organized in connection with each of the previous four conferences, the conducting of two one-day pre-conference short courses is under consideration. This will only take place if sufficient interest is shown by participants in their responses to the pre-registration questionnaire on the website. The courses, one on dredging and one on port planning, will be conducted by internationally recognized specialists and is intended to support the theme and philosophy of COPEDEC. It will be aimed at improving skills in coastal, port and inland waterway engineering with particular application to developing countries. The final program for the Short Course and the associated costs will accompany the Final Announcement. The course numbers will be limited, so early indication of interest is requested.
