A special afternoon program will be organized tomorrow, on the closing day of the 5-day seminar at UNESCO-IHE in Delft, the Netherlands, with two high caliber guest speakers to celebrate this 50th seminar.
This five-day course strives to provide an understanding through lectures by experts in the field and workshops, partly conducted on-site, in order to give the “students” hands-on experience.
More than a 1000 participants can testify to the in-depth learning experience of the week-long course presented by experienced dredging engineers from the IADC member companies.
