12 May 2016 • On Thursday 12 May 2016 the Netherlands Chapter of IAH, together with the Netherlands Hydrological Society (NHV), will organize a 1-day conference on «Export of hydrological expertise» in an inspiring setting in Amersfoort, professionally led by Ruben Maes.

 Second and updated announcement

Theme

With governments going commercial nowadays there is much to do about export of Dutch water expertise. Dutch business is to be branded and sold during ministerial missions, supported by ambassadors and embassy staff. The Dutch have a 'water ambassador' and board members of water boards visit Asian countries more often than not. Meanwhile Memoranda of Understanding are being signed several times per year.

What does this bring for the water experts, the hydrologists that actually do the work abroad? Is the international image of the Netherlands as 'water expert country' due to the government's commercial activities or rather because of those experts that work abroad?
