Welcome to HIC!
The Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) of People’s Republic of China and China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) are pleased to invite the international hydroinformatics community to the 15th International Conference on Hydroinformatics – HIC 2024, jointly hosted by the MWR, the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and the International Water Association (IWA), to be held in Beijing, China, during May 27-30, 2024.
Hydroinformatics is defined as the study of the flow of information and the generation of knowledge related to the dynamics of water in the real world, through the integration of modelling, information technologies and artificial intelligence considering sustainability and social implications for decision support and smart management of water-based systems.
International Conference on Hydroinformatics (HIC) has a long tradition, dating back to 1994 for its first edition. The upcomming15th HIC 2024 will celebrate its 30th anniversary and the development of a vivid hydroinformatics community.
The conference will serve as a perfect venue and platform for practitioners, engineers, researchers, scientists, managers and decision makers from Europe, Oceania, and Americas to meet their Asian counterparts to exchange the most recent developments in the hydroinformatics field and the urgent water related issues.

Call for Special Sessions
· A title for the special session, the names and contact information of the organizers;
· A brief description of the session (up to one page);
· Brief biographies of the session organizer(s) and their contact details;
· 5-6 tentative papers with title, authors and short abstract.
Special session proposals will be evaluated immediately upon submission based on the timeliness of the topic, its uniqueness, and qualifications of the proposers. Accepted special sessions will be listed on the HIC 2024 website. To avoid multiple special sessions covering similar topics, it is likely that an accepted proposal will be combined with similar proposals. Organizers should not contribute more than one paper for the special session.

Parallel session & poster session submissions
Authors wishing to make paper presentations during the various sessions must submit an abstract that briefly describes the topic to be presented. Poster presentations are also encouraged for a dedicated Poster Session. In either case, abstracts are subject to the same evaluation procedures, general guidelines and topics applied to papers.
All abstracts must include overview, methodology, results and conclusions, conforming to the structure outlined in the abstract template. Abstracts are limited to no more than 450 words.
Regardless of whether a poster or a paper presentation is requested by authors, it is the Conference Organizers’ discretion to decide whether an abstract will be part of the Concurrent or Poster Sessions.
All selected papers will have the opportunity to be published in SCI or EI journals such as Journal of Hydroinformatics, LHB/Hydroscience, River, etc.
